I sold Grandma's brooch
From the diary of Alice Tubbs. August 2, 1876. Deadwood, Black Hills Dear Mother, I'd come in on the stage, less than a week ago, but I was desperate for money. I was now a widow, and there weren’t a lot of employment options available for women in the town of Deadwood—if town wasn’t too fancy a name for the meager sprawl of unpainted false-fronted frame buildings along the single rutted muddy street.

The Gather
There weren’t always dragons in the Valley, but there definitely were now. Day-to-day safety depended on constantly being aware of your surroundings. This evening, Arnie Simpson had just gotten comfy, cuddled down in his sleep sack with his teddy--his shameful secret--when there was a ping, as a pebble skipped off the corner of his box.

Tips from the Queens of Bargain
My family has always appreciated finding a good bargain. I was raised to price check, to be skeptical of the concept that “brand name” was intrinsically better, and to love the words, “on sale.” And I have found some bargains. My favorite, is finding a limited edition print of a painting by Allan Sapp—it hangs in pride of place in my office.

The Death Story Playlist
I’m a writer; I love story. So when I think of a playlist, I love songs that have stories in them. And when I look for a playlist that, during COVID, helps me to relax, and realize that things really could be worse--I like a playlist of songs that include stories of death.

So, it all started the weekend my boyfriend and I had a big fight. We’d been going together for over a year, and normally, I wouldn’t have been tempted to stray, but when I got the phone call, I was still aching from the cuts of certain harsh words…

If you love Him; then I think you’ll like HerTop Story - March 2021
I wanted to enter the “if this” then “that” challenge, but I don’t watch a lot of television or movies. However, I do read. In fact, I’m a voracious reader; I’ll typically read three to five books per week. As I was looking around my personal library, I discovered that I read primarily by author. If I like a particular author, I’ll read everything he or she writes.

How I managed to clean and organize my desk for the first time in my life
How I managed to clean and organize my desk for the first time in my life! Having a clean desk has never been possible for me. I feel guilty about it, but it doesn’t help. Some people are just naturally messy, I rationalize; everyone knows, creatives march to their own drummer. I come up with cute memes: “a clean desk is the sign of a boring and empty mind”. I drive others in my office crazy, because I wait till they leave for home, and then in the evenings and weekends, I work on their beautifully clean desks, because my desk is too messy to work on.
