“To the left a little, chin up, good, hold that. Tilt your head a little, look straight at the camera, and look down, good. Let’s try a smile, ok, and close your eyes, and now open, look right, and down, and now straight at the camera. Good. Ok, I think that’s a wrap.” I put […]
I had a dream about you recently. It started out as mundane as can be. We were hanging out, eating breakfast, looking at each other’s writing, making suggestions, praising each other shamelessly, our feet snuggling under the table. After a morning of concentrating on editing, we decided we deserved the chance to relax. We went […]
In a triumphant grand jeté, he leapt onto the stage just like a young gazelle in heat. Muscles rippling through his legs caused him to spring all over the boards with gleeful animation. He made it look all so easy. Every dancer in our corps de ballet gazed in wonder at his agility. As a […]
I wonder if you raised an eyebrow when you saw this title. But it is true. There is a little girl within, innocent as can be, pure-hearted, full of imagination, full of dreams. Don’t we all have a child within who seeks adventure but needs safety? Aren’t we drawn to someone that excites us and […]
During a time I was confined, imprisoned, or in other words “quarantining”, you took me many thousands of miles away to a place where my entire soul was in bliss.

Dear Claude I am feeling….well, I hardly know. Is it anger? Is that your fault? Is it envy? Is that my fault? I just feel unhappy. I feel hurt. You made me feel special. You made me feel like I was the only one. You made me feel as if the stars were shining brighter […]
I am just going to say here…this is fiction…I know it reads as non-fiction, but I was super-mad with one of Ben’s team who grabbed my behind a few days ago and called me “cutey”. What the hell is the matter with these guys? This is the second time in a year I have had […]
Those were the days. You worked over time for months so you could buy yourself that pick-up truck. You would pick me up after I finished my shift at the ice-cream store, heavy rock music blasting from your speakers. Leaning forward I would change the radio station. You would groan as I sang along to […]
