Fairy Godmother Dust: August 2013
http://fairygodmotherdust.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 29, 2013. I could point to lots of reasons I haven't consistently posted anything in months. All of them would be true. All are valid reasons. I write lots of posts in my mind and they never reach the page. I do write every day. Sometimes my writing is done through correspondence with friends. Sometimes writing is just for me in my journal. Today, however, my I nner Muse. Is writing. She is also saying, "Put it in print, Lori.". My muse is kind-hearted and gentle. Or my reading glasses.

Fairy Godmother Dust: January 2014
http://fairygodmotherdust.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 26, 2014. Who will Join Me? Full Disclosure before I start writing. I'm just shy of 49. I've colored my hair to hide grey since my late twenties. I use e-salon now and am on auto-pay each month. It's my own formula sent directly to my door. If my hair wouldn't fall out, I'd color every 3 weeks to hide that I'm 100% grey. I'm not sure when or if I'll stop coloring. I pay a private trainer to make myself work out. As long as I am able to afford this service, I will pay for it. I was very, v...

Saturday, January 26, 2013. Just Swallow the Medicine (Expletive deleted)! Without her permission or knowledge, I'm learning about a side of myself that I'm not particularly fond of. I can't call it a blind side. I've known about it for a long time. Seeing it in another person and facing my reaction, that's where the story begins. I've nominated myself for WMOTY so many times these last 3 weeks, I've made enough noise that the people are just gonna give. It to me. The plaque on my trophy will read:.

Fairy Godmother Dust: December 2012
http://fairygodmotherdust.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 30, 2012. I just published this on Gay's blog. December 30, 2012. Gay continues to steadily improve and will join us again in blog-world next week. In a conversation today, she referred to her time away from writing as a vacation. If a vacation is what she had, sign me up for something else! You how many women I've heard speak those same words.". She cried. I've learned that one can never assume why a person is crying. Tears are complicated- sad, angry, confused, often unearthing...I int...

Sunday, August 26, 2012. What a Difference a Year Makes. I'm guessing I'm not the only one who has days where I feel edgy, even to the point of being frantic for no apparent reason. It's an over-arching anxiety that makes even the smallest, most mundane tasks barely manageable. None of those approaches were effective. So I sought help. What I learned over time was that for me, knowing what I'm fearful about helps me tremendously. Why the dread for today? 2 Write and post a blog for Gay. Only because of h...

Fairy Godmother Dust: Unexpected Public Detoxing
http://fairygodmotherdust.blogspot.com/2013/10/unexpected-detoxing.html
Sunday, October 6, 2013. I love musical theater. Watching Leslie Ann Downs as Cinderella. In Midland, Texas on our new colored television quite literally set the stage for a lifetime of plays, costumes, laughter, drama, and delight. It is likely that for forty four years, I've nurtured that passion so that I could some day overrule my then, bossy older sister/director and cast myself as Cinderella. I'll tell you what, though, not every. Four year old ugly stepsister researched her role as thoroughly as I!

Fairy Godmother Dust: September 2013
http://fairygodmotherdust.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 21, 2013. How Long is a Minute? I began reading obituaries during that period. On the rare occasion that I have a newspaper, I still read the obits. I enjoy knowing the highlights of a person's life. I relish stories. I'm fascinated by how those that are left behind choose to express their thoughts. I have never, ever, ever heard someone mention their beloved's thigh. What I remember most about Grammy were her dimple-free thighs." Nope. I've spent a MINIMUM. But, let's face it. I've g...

Fairy Godmother Dust: Word Gifts
http://fairygodmotherdust.blogspot.com/2013/12/word-gifts.html
Saturday, December 7, 2013. Today is my mother’s 76. Lori- “Mom, why in the world don’t you buy another baster? Mom- slightly irritated “Well. It STILL works! She got a turkey baster that year for a bonus birthday gift. I now realize it would have been the perfect package topper adorned with a tulle bow—my signature. I’ll do that in 20 years when she’s ready for another one. Mom- While opening package—“Oh, this is a NEW Talbot’s box! I LOVE THIS SWEATER! It’s my color! I LOVE IT MORE NOW! I want to hear ...
