Dancing With the Limp
“You will lose someone you can’t live without,and your heart will be badly broken, and the bad news is that you never completely get over the loss of your beloved. But this is also the good news. They live forever in your broken heart that doesn’t seal back up. And you come through. It’s like…

NaBloPoMo (11/2016) – Day 7: How do you measure a year?
Sandra Moran was one of our best and brightest. That smile. That humor. That heart. Anyone who encountered Sandra was affected by her in the best ways. In Sandra, we found a kindred spirit. She was someone who valued each and every person she met. Whether you knew her for 2 minutes, 2 years, or…

NaBloPoMo (11/2015) – Day 15: #moranstrong
I have returned home from Kansas City. Again. Our group parted ways this morning with hugs and words of friendship and love. It was a difficult parting. Yet, my heart feels a bit lighter in some ways. It’s hard to explain. I’m not sure I understand it. So, I’m just going to go with it.…

NaBloPoMo (11/2015) – Day 14: The Sandra Effect
I’m back in the solitude of my hotel room after a long, emotionally-charged day. I knew that it would be. But I don’t think I was quite prepared for the overall intensity of the feelings that were flowing so fiercely through my mind and body. From the moment I woke up this morning, I was on…

NaBloPoMo (11/2015) – Day 13: The last midnight
Today was a tragic one for the people of Paris. My thoughts and prayers go out to all affected by this vicious act. I must be honest, however. While I know that this has happened, I do not know the details. I’ve not watched the news or read the articles. I will, I promise. But…

NaBloPoMo (11/2015) – Day 12: Traveling toward the unreal
This is not going to be a lengthy post. (I can hear the collective sigh of relief from here.) I’ve been on the road most of the day…traveling to Kansas for Sandra’s memorial service. Settled into my hotel room, in my pajamas, contemplating getting some sleep. The next couple of days are going to be…

NaBloPoMo (11/2015): Day 10 – Distracting grief
My posts of late have not been particularly happy or perky. With good reason. I realized one week ago (November 3) that it had been three years since my mother spoke to me. I realized today that November 3 of this year marks the last time my friend, Sandra, spoke to me. Four days later,…

See you soon, Sandra.
We lost one of our best this weekend. Like so very many, I’ve been asking, “Why? Why her? Why Sandra?” She did everything right! She was one of the good ones! I wish I knew the answers to those questions. No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn’t find the answers. I still can’t. I’m…

NaBloPoMo (11/2015) – Day 8: Heartbroken
This is the best I can do tonight, my friends. My heart is broken and I’m grieving. I shared this video with my dear friend. I’m so glad she was able to see it before she left us. She knew what was in my heart. I will return tomorrow night.

REVIEW: “All We Lack” by Sandra Moran
Rizzoli & Isles is about to finish up its fifth season on TNT. The last new episodes will air next week (March 17) and I’ll be forced to wait until summer for the next season. I started watching Rizzoli & Isles pretty late in the game. In fact, I started watching in the middle of the fifth season.…
