It's Somewhat cold today, but spring is approaching gradually. The season gets warmer, little by little There is the word 三寒四温（Sankansion）or "three cold days and four warm days" in Japan. Even if there are three cold days, four warm days will follow. the next. All the people in the snow country are waiting eagerly for spring without snow. Spring is also my favorite season. in...

~{}~ If shelter was what you came looking for Or the warmth of my bed Or the arms I put around you -And it was all that you needed, you said - Then why was it not enough Later, early, in the hard morning light when the snow silenced all other life when it was still too cold to be outside? How come you went away then Again, leaving me shattered, and fighting my tears the...

Thanks to my publisher, Sentient Publications, I took part in another radio interview in late December. Issues Today, with Bob Gourley, is a 30-minute weekly radio show that addresses the needs of all Americans, and is syndicated to over 160 stations across the Country.

About two weeks ago, the air conditioner went on the blink. It just stopped working for no reason at all. Here we are in the midst of a heat wave and it decides it wants to act up! Even my dear, sweet...

I live in Florida, so forgive my wimpiness, but man is it cold outside! It was in the 30s this...

I have a confession to make. Yesterday, I ate too many carbs and caused my blood pressure to spike. The culprit was my arch-nemesis, the root of all evil, mashed potatoes. I can walk away from the pie with a tiny slice. I can eat one cookie. I can pass on the candy altogether. But potatoes and fresh bread are kryptonite to me. I decided to share what happens when my blood sugar is too high,...
