Troll Magic
I glanced at her sideways. “I am so sorry Charlotte. I…” Her glare pierced me. The old ratty barn was engulfed by a deep silence, again. Maybe, I should try humor, I hopefully mused. “At least you weren’t turned into a Black Widow, right?”

“Hurry!” Charlotte anxiously whispered. “Almost done!” I quickly slid the handwoven bag behind the interior siding of the loft of the barn. I quietly hammered the wooden panel closed, securing our hiding spot.

Painting Tigers
"You are a beautiful and majestic tiger. Your ears dance with black stripes and white spots. Your eyes glow green surrounded by long lashes that protect you from the tropical rains. Your nose is pink speckled with black dark as licorice. Your scratchy orange and white cheeks have many long white wispy whiskers. You love to count them. One. Two. Twenty. Your teeth are sharp and menacing. Brown little rabbits are afraid of your smile. They also are afraid of your ferocious GRRRRR!!!! Go ahead, let's see your smile and hear your voice..."

Gobbledygook! Nice is the old stupid!
One of my passions is mindful writing. Apparently, it's one of my husband's passions too... We found each other on an online dating platform; we independently had weeded out potential spouses by whether they put effort into formatting a sentence. That's right! I had given up on higher standards. If my suitor could capitalize the first word of his sentence and end it with a period, I would answer his message. I was shocked at how few people made the effort for basic punctuation. After months of disappointment and only a handful of dates, my writing wonder approached and successfully wooed me with his well-chosen words. My husband not only wrote me punctuated sentences, but he took the time to send me a witty howdy. I immediately clicked his profile. It was humorous and unique. And despite a handful of his lifestyle choices being on my "not compatible" list, I decided to at least talk to him since he made me laugh out loud. Instantly, I craved to know more. I couldn't resist. Who was this person? We quickly bonded - acknowledging the other's ability to write. We began to talk every day. But I was stubborn. He knew I was the one for him immediately, whereas I insisted on friendship only. Then after months of patiently pursuing me, he sent me a song. The lyrical video perfectly suited our backgrounds, and our current ways of being. That was it! I was undone. He won me over. All the reasons, I had for "not compatible" somehow didn't matter. This man understood me. We could work through our differences because we knew how to communicate. We spoke the same language. We are now celebrating our 2nd year anniversary with our one year old son. Marriage and motherhood are not smooth sailing, but I have never been more fulfilled in my life.
