Shirley Russell, my mom, age 17, on the left, and me, age 15, on the right. Happy Mother's Day, Momma, with love.


Poem Artwork

 

Two photos
Side by side
And nearly
Twenty years
Apart, showing
Young girls' faces,
Smiling,
Lovely,
And eerily similar.
Sisters?
No,
Much, much closer;
They are mother
And daughter,
Bound tightly
By genes
And devotion
That death 
Cannot break.
Blood will tell
In cheekbones,
And lips,
And hair;
But...
The heart remains,
Bound by 
A million mother's kisses
And a daughter's precious memories.

The Libra Solution: Shedding Excess and Redefining Success by Lisa DAnnolfo Levey

The familiar lament of dual-career parents raising children is, "I just can't do it all." The Libra Solution provides an alternative - a more satisfying and sustainable work and life approach - to the overwrought modern day norm.

Little River by Dadfire

Let this coming of age story of a boy named Bean take you back to a simple time. Set in a small southern town in the 1960's, encircled by a river and gleaming white cotton fields.
