Flashback: the Post That Started It All …
Exactly one year ago today, I began a little blog that I hoped might help me love my town better. I never expected — ever — that I’d still be blogging 365 days later. Can I be honest? It’s been a messy year. I’ve made good decisions and bad ones. Trusted people I shouldn’t have. Had the good […]
an alpha // whiskey // foxtrot anniversary …
It’s funny, but it occurred to me for the very first time today that in just a few weeks, alpha // whiskey // foxtrot will celebrate its one-year anniversary — and nobody’s more shocked about this than me. I can still remember the first time I hit that little blue “Publish” button. Back then, I […]
A Reminder, Right Above My Head …
Sometimes the way out … … is Up. ❤
An Honest Prayer …
Oh Lord, teach me to see this town with loving eyes … when the snow lies clean on every limb, and when it clogs the sidewalk, soot-scuffed black. when I am surrounded by ones I love, and when I am trudging the white trail alone. when I am surrounded and still alone — give me love, then most […]
When even power lines can be beautiful…
I don’t know what made me pull the car over when I did, except for that certain instinct I sometimes have that there’s beauty to be found nearby, if I’m willing to look for it. This was a week or two ago. I’d recently arrived home from Florida, and after all that color and heat […]
A Secret Message for a Special Someone, Left on a Rooftop Overlook: Day Twenty-Five
This post is part of the Secret Messages Project. Every day for thirty days, I’ll leave my words in places where they might be found — or might never be found at all. I hope you’ll join me. * If you’ve been reading this blog for awhile, you know I have a conflicted relationship with the […]
A Quiet Reminder, Clipped to a Wire Fence by the Railroad Tracks: Day Fifteen
This post is part of the Secret Messages Project. Every day for thirty days, I’ll leave my words in places where they might be found — or might never be found at all. I hope you’ll join me. * There’s a little walking trail downtown, one that runs a parallel to the train tracks where they […]
One Last Look Back… & Then Forward
I’ve let this place lie fallow for a week now. I’ve been resting. Contemplating what’s come, and what comes next. Almost two months ago, I built this blog out of sheer desperation. Because at that time, wherever I looked I saw a lot of loneliness. I felt marooned in a city where I didn’t belong. […]
A Last & First Look at the Star City: Day Forty
(Sometimes it’s tough to feel at home in your own city. Which is why I’ve given myself a challenge: each day, for forty days, I’m going to find *one* thing I love about this place. And then I’m going to tell you about it. If you want to follow my journey, start here. Today is Day Forty). This […]
