Illumination Of A Snow Dreamer
Lights flash streams of gold and orange hues across her face as I watch her kneel in front of the streetlamp. She is a few years older than me, but still young. Although when she looks up the lines on her face say she has lived through more than years counted. It has started to snow as she moves towards the wall where I once laid. Her coat is in tatters and her feet without shoes.

Songs In Our Heads. Top Story - July 2023.
It all began on that Monday when DJ Mayhem Mike from the local radio station ended his morning broadcast talking about a study that was recently announced where researchers found that when you have a song in your head on any particular day it means something about how your day will go. For most people it will only be two three lines of a song that keep repeating itself.

The Joy Luck Club
Generational Gap of mothers and daughters, Circumstances shared. "The Joy Luck Club" by Amy Tan is one of my all time favorite books which embraces the long term relationship of four women from China and their daughters. It was later turned into a movie starring Ming-Na Wen. It is another book where efforts were made to ban at high school in Wisconsin back in 2004 although it has not faced being banned at this time.

The Color Purple
Pain struck her throughout Yet the color of peace would Show her the way home. "The Color Purple" by Alice Walker has faced book bans since it was first published in 1982. Yet it is a novel based on a woman finding her own self-worth while facing racism and domestic violence all through her life. The book won a Pulitzer Prize and was turned into an Academy Award nominated movie starring Whoopi Goldberg and Oprah Winfrey. The ending still makes me cry. I highly recommend both book and movie if you have not read or seen.

Brave New World
Dystopian tale Caste line, where technology Controls life. Wait, what? Brave New World by Aldous Huxley was a must read in my sophomore year of English class at an all girls Catholic high school. There are just some books that will stay with you for your entire life. This was one of them for me. Now it is banned in many school districts for explicit content. I guess the nuns in the 1980's were ahead of themselves.
