#the100DayProject
The Friday Photo May 20, 2016 In the past I’ve thought it would be a good idea to be part of an “organized” creative project. And in the past I’ve quit, and often wondered, “Why am I even bothering?” Earlier this year I committed to a 10 day Leap project led by my friend Patti … Continue reading "#the100DayProject"

So long 2858
The Friday Photo April 15, 2016 Thanks to early diagnosis, incredible family and friends, and a great medical team, tonight I am saying so long to 2858, otherwise known as a daily cancer treatment. It has been a good five years- I am ready to fly solo again.

Who else is looking at WCRMC?
To give my urban readers a glimpse of rural life, the legal organ in Washington County, and the one that people mean when they ask, “Did you see this week’s paper?” is The Sandersville Progress.

Say Yes to generous offers
The Friday Photo February 26, 2016 What happens when you say yes to generous offers? Two friends contributed their talents to make a gift I wanted to send to two poets who inspire creativity in communities across our country. This is the year I learn to say Yes to generous offers.

Got mail?
The Friday Photo February 5, 2016 I wanted our trip to the mailbox to be more than routine. (We asked the USPS if we could make our box open towards the sidewalk because our street is very busy. Now no one has to stand in the street to deliver or check the mail).
