By: Jennifer Richardson Holt I don’t think I’m quite ready. Every year I’m so sure that I am — that excitement is the only thing stirring in me — but this time, I’ve stumbled into new sentiments. By the time you’re reading this, Thanksgiving will already be tucked away and we’ll be well on ourContinue reading “Not Quite Ready–But Getting There 11/30/2025”

So Ridiculously Much 6/29/2025
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt I saw my first truly lovely, colorful sunset yesterday—my first in ages. As I admired the pastel hues, I found myself wondering why it had been so long since I’d seen one. I’ve always been someone who eagerly seeks out a good sunset, yet, aside from yesterday, I can’t even rememberContinue reading “So Ridiculously Much 6/29/2025”
A Heaping Helping of Normal, Please 12/15/2024
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt I do not promise much by way of length today. This was one of those weeks that, while it should have been generically busy with for the most part standard goings on, it exploded into a chaotic, stressful, worrisome and draining week for my whole family. No, it wasn’t something lifeContinue reading “A Heaping Helping of Normal, Please 12/15/2024”

Her sentiment to me is what connected all the dots and showed me that a topic had been staring me in the face the whole time and IContinue reading “Clearing the View 1/28/2024”
Native Harvests 10/10/2021
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt I live in a place steeped in history. No, it’s no England with its thousands of years of society and whatnot but, for America, there is a lot here. I live in a town with a name from the native peoples that were here. The towns surrounding my town all haveContinue reading “Native Harvests 10/10/2021”
And It’s Not Even Thanksgiving 2/21/2021
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt I am not sure what caused it but I seem to be waxing sentimental today. I thought it was a matter of me hearing the somewhat nostalgic moan of the breeze whistling against the windows during a moment of silence. I don’t suppose many people really have that much by wayContinue reading “And It’s Not Even Thanksgiving 2/21/2021”
