Day Five of the 111 Day Writer’s Journey

DAY FIVE: Sing Out Today didn’t leave much time for writing. I spent most of the day in New York City attending the Broadway flea market for the very first time. As someone who has grown up with a deep appreciation of musical theatre and love being around Broadway, I try to go up andContinue reading “Day Five of the 111 Day Writer’s Journey”

Day Three of the 111 Day Writer’s Journey

Day Three: Imagination Inspiration announced its presence as I tucked my young niece in to bed tonight. I read her a story, and she returned the favor. Before we said prayers, she grabbed her fake phone and called her parents to say goodnight. I listened to the “conversation” and grinned. She’s a storyteller, this one,Continue reading “Day Three of the 111 Day Writer’s Journey”

Sunday SoulJourn: Spiritual Visit

20 September 2015 Just in case you haven’t heard, the Pope is coming to Philly!

Sunday SoulJourn: Entertainment Path

13 September 2015 I soljourned this weekend to one of my favorite places in the United States – Los Angeles! Some say it’s a big city like all the others: loud, noisy, overcrowded with buildings and people. For them, that may hold true. I see it differently. I feel at home there, as though theContinue reading “Sunday SoulJourn: Entertainment Path”
