On A Limb with Claudia

If you are in the mood for a great story, BroLo shares a wonderful piece about events that happened within his new Roman home during the Nazi occupation of Italy.  It’s an amazing look at what one person can do in the middle of something unjust.

And you KNOW it’s not me.
Don’t you just hate it when your teacher has a favorite student?

You’re probably thinking, “I don’t have a favorite fortune!  What can I do Claudia???”
Well the Internet to the rescue.  You can check this site and receive a fortune as well as leave one.  My favorite?  “An apple a day keeps the doctor away - only if you throw it hard enough.”  Yeah, that’s wisdom.
Here’s another [...]

I saw US soldiers walking with their machine guns following a [...]

This one lives under my keyboard:
“The simplest answer is to act.”

I actually saw some grass today.
I know.  Some of you see grass every day.  But here in Denver, it’s noteworthy.  There’s still five foot drifts in the front  yard and an even layer of two feet of snow in the park.

I was tagged by Angela and thought I’d give this a spin.
1. I struggle with work-a-holism. I closed my psychotherapy practice about a year ago because I had worked over eighty hours a week for the last five years. (Well Ok, more like 100 hours a week - really.) My friends [...]

My head had been deeply in a couple of fiction projects. You know, you get all those people in a room and you never ever know what’s going to happen. For Christ’s sake, let’s have a little less drama!

This is an open letter to the person or persons who stole our snow shovel.
Dear Thief,

We’ve left it outside for years. Our neighbors have come to count on it when [...]
