Saturday, August 1, 2015. My friend, the author. Had this in her post,. May my word count be ever higher than my body count. This just might be a portion of my credo that I didn't even know I needed until I read it. I might get it as tattoo or paint it on my wall. I asked her if I could HAVE it. (I mean, use it.) She said YES! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I write, I read, I write some more. I work at two libraries in the Chicagoland area. Volunteer with an animal shelter. I run The No Shush Salon.

j9vaughn: And Then My World Fell Apart...
http://j9vaughn.blogspot.com/2013/12/and-then-my-world-fell-apart.html
Friday, December 27, 2013. And Then My World Fell Apart. But only just for a while. I'll pick up the pieces and rebuild it again. Loss does that. Two weeks after my Mom died suddenly and I'm swimming through choppy waves of emotions. I can almost fool myself into thinking that I'm alright, but then a memory, a thought, something I see or hear bursts that bubble with another river of tears. I can sometimes contain the tears. but not always. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I run The No Shush Salon.

I mean, sweating so much that your eyelids are sticking to themselves when you blink. Make sure you got sloppy kisses from no less than three of the dogs you walked so you smell like dog breath. Wear your most bedraggled work-shirt. The more stains and holes, the better! Wear a big floppy hat over your very messy hair. THE N...

http://j9vaughn.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 1, 2015. 20 years ago today. Twenty years ago on April 1st, the world changed for my family. My sister Joy had an accident. I remember that night so well. My folks had been out of town so, when I came home from a date, I was surprised that my Dad met me at the door. I remember how the air was chill. It was a Saturday night and I could smell smoke from a fire pit at a neighbor’s house. I could even hear the murmur of voices from that party. Joy's had an accident." My dad said. I only reme...
