Are we living in unprecedented times? Perhaps 2020 will be one for the history books, but as we prepare to observe America’s 244th Independence Day, I’m reminded that our country was forged from unrest and revolution and that my hometown, Savannah, Georgia, was right in the middle of it all. The founders of our nation... Continue Reading →
Ever been the victim of bad timing? As one of three elected volunteer officers of a condominium association, I have worked for the past 18 months on a proposal which has to be passed by a 51% of homeowners before it can be enacted. I have also recently realized that choosing a vote deadline just days before... Continue Reading →
That morning had started out unremarkably like so many others. In the predawn, 79-year-old I.W. (Bill) Hearn drove his truck from his home in Daisy, Ga., a tiny town on the outskirts of Claxton in Evans County, to a 40-acre field he owns south of town. He walked several hundred feet along the edge of... Continue Reading →
"On June 21, 2014, the Savannah High School Class of 1974 celebrated our 40 year reunion." I put that sentence in quotes because for the past two years I've been having a hard time grasping that this event was about to happen. Frankly, I didn't want to admit that I graduated from high school 40 years ago. More than that (I see... Continue Reading →
Can you believe it's happened again? Every weather forecaster warned us, but we didn't listen. And the city that can't seem to drive in the rain got bogged down in one-to-three inches of snow. Really, Atlanta? My husband left work yesterday at 1:15 PM and arrived home at 8:30 PM. He was one of the... Continue Reading →
The call I had been expecting came last Sunday morning at 6:30 AM. It was my dear friend, Bob, with the news that his mother, Margaret, had died. She'd suffered a massive stroke twelve days previously, and her entire medical team, everyone really, was astounded that she held on as long as she did. I... Continue Reading →
Discovering one's own personal groove in life is a lot like a needle dropping onto a vinyl record as it spins on a turntable. As it gently touches dead center in that little crevice, a beautiful sound emerges and continues to delight as the needle goes round and around. Some seem to be born in... Continue Reading →
How do you take a project from concept to completion on time, on budget and on track? My favorite challenge is with long-form video projects - they can be unbelievably laborious - but every now and then one comes along that’s actually fun to do. And I don’t mean it starts out fun, but it... Continue Reading →
When the new pastor at my church asked me to develop a drama series for Advent 2012, he had no idea what he was getting into! I'd been writing skits for Sixes UMC in Canton, GA and Drama Ministry Magazine off and on for the past 15 years. But did Dr. Joe McKechnie realize that some... Continue Reading →
I really have to apologize to my Facebook friends for the recent barrage of photos and posts. My daughter, Alex, and I went to New York City for a mother/daughter trip and I guess I went a little overboard. There's always something fun and new to do in NYC, and I like to share. But...
