Greetings...

If you’re looking for heartwarming stories, thought-provoking essays, and a blog that reveals and encourages, you’ve found the right place.

I write about intriguing people and places, experiences that expand the mind or enlarge the heart, and sometimes I simply write about beautiful or dramatic moments, hoping that my words will help you savor anew the sweetness of life.

Here you’ll find fiction — from the elderly school teachers addicted to hoarding money in “Gathering Crumbs” to the troubled young boxer in “About to Win” — focusing on what people do and why.

You’ll find non-fiction about admirable people and fascinating places.

You may even find some poetry.

Come on in and stay a while. Explore, sample, read. Share what you like with your friends and share your thoughts and responses with me. Together, we’ll keep the conversation going.
