Mirm in Wonderland
There are so many childhood fairy tales that have hidden meanings if we look for them. Sometimes they are there intentionally as in Narnia and sometimes perhaps there are just lessons that can be applied to our own story like a parable. I love both kinds of tales and the secret lands that I find…
Miriam on 34th St
It is my 34th Anniversary so I decided to have a little picnic in honor of the day. Jim proposed at 34th street in Newport Beach on Christmas day in 1979. I was trying to think of some clever way to remember and honor the day. There were several interesting ideas*… but in the end…

21!
Jim was diagnosed 21 months before he went to heaven and now it has been 21 months since he has been there. Today the sermon was all about marriage. UGH! Had I known I would have skipped it! It is so hard to feel like I fit anywhere anymore. On another, more positive note, my…
