May Day 2020
We have a chance to change business as usual, to make more conscious choices. Let’s not go back to a broken and deadly paradigm. Let’s move forward toward a society that lifts all of us.

The Raleigh World: One Year
All righty, then. It’s taken me a while to get around to this post. Sometimes other projects and Real Life just demand more attention. (And also I’m finding myself more and more dissatisfied using WordPress as a content system, but that’s for another rant.) I look up at the cork board above my desk and see some of the souvenirs...
What’s For Dinner: A Southern New Year’s Tradition
I haven’t looked at the legislation to confirm this, but I’m pretty sure it’s compulsory to eat black-eyed peas with collard greens and cornbread on New Year’s Day. While I was watching WRAL last week, they had a segment with a recipe for a black-eyed peas, collards, and cornbread casserole that looked interesting. Thank goodness I remembered the gist of...
The Raleigh World: Eleven Months
Wow. We’re closing in on an entire year in Raleigh. It still blows my mind that I actually moved across the United States. With two cats. (Who hate car rides.) I have yet to get over to the beaches but at least I no longer have to constantly remind myself that the ocean is EAST and the mountains are to...
An Unforgettable Fire
California is burning again and the devastation is incomprehensible. The entire town of Paradise was leveled in the Camp Fire. Seventy-one known deaths and over 1,000 people are unaccounted for as of 11/16. I can’t even wrap my head around that. My heart is broken for the families who have lost loved ones (or haven’t been able to locate them),...
The Raleigh World: Ten Months
We’re getting into Hot Cocoa Season. HOORAY!!! I’m wearing shirts with sleeves that extend below my elbows. WOOT!!! The trees are turning and the colors are stunning! However, it’s still and forever Allergy Season for me because apparently, I’m allergic to air. Win some. Lose some. Where DOES the time go? It’s mind-blowing to realize that I’m well into my...
My Online Whereabouts Update
Last week I celebrated the return of my photoblog and just realized it’s as good a time as any to point y’all to other places where you can find my content online. I set up a portfolio page on Contently. It keeps my work in a neat, tidy place. Here’s the list of places to find my content: Aggregated articles/posts:...
Return Of The Photo Blog
I really missed my photo blog. Earlier this year I discovered that my host didn’t have my blog on a secure server, so I had to go through a big snarl to get my stuff transferred to a secure server. Unfortunately, and what wasn’t made clear when I initiated this change, I was no longer allowed to have separate WP...
The Raleigh World: Month Seven
My, how time flies! It seems like I just wrote the six-month po…oh yeah. I was a bit late on that one, wasn’t I? Well, here’s to not letting another update languish in my Drafts folder for three weeks! So I did some stuff in my seventh month in North Carolina. I’m still working hard as a freelancer. That’s the...
The Raleigh World: Six Months, Give Or Take
It’s not that I had forgotten about my monthly update. Things are launching in some areas and others seem stuck on the launch pad and I’ve been working and nudging as seems appropriate. It sort of seems impossible that it’s already been six months since Dos Gatos Locos and I spent our first nights here in Raleigh. I was excited,...
