Should She Stay or Should She Go?
For those of you who read my blog, you know I like to do these little vignettes or scenes as a writing exercise. I like to share them and get your input. Here is one I did for today. It was a hoarder’s paradise. From the open door, she saw piles of trash and what appeared to be animal carcasses. She also saw that needles littered the floor. Was this a shooting gallery or a taxidermy shop? Exactly what had she stumbled into? As she peered through the cavernous darkness of the abandoned house she noticed a faint red light in the distance. It wasn’t a steady beam, more…

Cluttered House Cluttered Mind – Midlife Purge Part 1
This is part one of the three-part Midlife Purge series. Your house is a reflection of your life and right now my house and my life are a mess. I have always believed that if your house is clean and clutter-free then your life will follow suit. Being a single mother of four, who at various times has ran a statewide non-profit out of my house, has not allowed me to take my own advice. For nearly 30 years, I have lived with clutter and chaos. Oh there have been times at least once a year where it all becomes too much and I go on a purge, throwing stuff…

John’s Garage #ThursdayDoors
This is a picture of my neighbor’s garage which opens onto the street behind us. I love the way this tells a story of time. The doors are from two different era’s as well as the open 9-5 sign in the middle. John said that was how it was when he moved there so he’s not sure if it was a store or a car repair place or if someone just put that sign up there. I think it makes for a very interesting photo.

#ThursdayDoors – A Door Worth Saving
I came across this house while traveling through Ohio on my way to Detroit. I’m not sure of the exact location, probably somewhere along Route 23. What captured my attention was the door. The house was entirely gutted for restoration and the only thing left intact was the door. The owners of this house saw the strength and beauty in this door and choose to save it instead of heaping it on the discard pile with the windows. I decided that such a door needed to be remembered so I snapped a picture. This is my entry for this weeks #ThursdayDoors over at Norm 2.0 check it out and…

What Mystery Lies Behind this Maryland Door?
I was traveling through Maryland one cold, snowy day on my way back from New York. Always one to take the backroads, I stumbled upon this beautiful door while sitting at a stop light. It was all alone, no other doors or windows on that side of the building. When I saw this door, I knew it had a story to tell, so I captured it. This door whispers to me of mysterious men, with hats pulled low, clandestine meetings of revolutionaries, and midwives called out into a blustery snow to bring new life into the world. What does this door say to you? This is my entry for…
