Do you feel it? The promise of a New Year? What is it about turning the page on the calendar that makes so many of us downright hopeful? What is it about the dropping ball in Times Square or the simple countdown of the minutes until midnight that fills us with delightful anticipation of things…
Hawaii Dreaming on Such a Winter Day
I ran away to Hawaii this spring. It was a much needed escape. My husband joined me. We walked on sugar white beaches, witnessed glorious sunsets, and fell in love. Not with each other; we did that a long time ago. But with Hawaii. I suppose many people do, but for me, it was unexpected.…

For better or worse, these movies have become a part of our culture, and I would bet, a part of your own family’s Christmas tradition.

Paper Pen and Chocolate by Talia Jager
“Mom!” a voice yelled from the other room. “Make her stop!” “I didn’t do anything!” another voice yelled before I could even get up to see what was going on. I sighed and struggled to get off the couch where I had just started writing a scene. Four months pregnant with our sixth child and…
Moving To The Middle East by Julia Crane
Separation was normal in my marriage. My husband was in the military, and usually gone six months a year. We had adapted quite well to the schedule.
