Kathy here: Phase III of the DLLJ is underway! And, it centers on monthly meetings after the formal program presentation. Readers bring one or two titles to each meeting to share with the group.

Honoré here: Many of you who have attended our DLLJ programs may recall that I generally start my day reading and journaling. This has been a habit of mine for several dozen years and this MSQT – morning solitude and quiet time – is, hands down, my favorite part of any day, every day. Very […]

Kathy here…Pikeville, Kentucky is my ancestral home. For my husband, Jim, Pocahontas, Virginia is "the homeplace." As natives of Maryland, imagine our surprise to discover that these family centers lie just "over the mountain" from one another, a mere 120 miles apart.

Laura here: Before I left on a business trip in February my local library let me know a book I had requested was available.

Kathy here: With 10 weeks of experimentation under my belt, today I report back to you about my newsfeed aggregator adventure. Picture me logging into my email each morning; clicking open the digest; and then clicking open my mind for what has arrived in my mailbox from cyberspace the day before. Some days the updates […]

Kathy here…The experiment I referred to last week involves a photo challenge I picked up on another blog. Take a photo a day. That's it. The who, what, when and where of the photograph is up to me. I decided to approach this as simply as possible. Just take a shot each day of the […]
