By: Jennifer Richardson Holt My life is something like reading an echocardiogram. There are high hills and low valleys, with a few unremarkable flat lines in between. Now that I think about it, if I’m making that analogy, my life is probably more like an abnormal echocardiogram—patterns rather sporadic and unpredictable. I’ve always been thisContinue reading “The Quiet Between the Peaks 11/2/2025”

Toward the Light, Beyond the Field 9/21/2025
By Jennifer Richardson Holt After the somber mood of last week, I felt I shouldn’t fling drivel at you this time. I wanted something lighter—still meaningful, but not heavy. Not that stories about hummingbird skirmishes or my daughter’s clever quips aren’t fitting in their own right, but I knew I wasn’t quite back in thatContinue reading “Toward the Light, Beyond the Field 9/21/2025”
The Turning Point 9/14/2025
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt I do not know if it is prudent for me to write this week. My heart is brimming with emotions so strong I can scarcely hold them in, and I am unsure if letting them spill onto the page is wise. Yet here I sit, fingers on the keys, unable toContinue reading “The Turning Point 9/14/2025”
The Weight of Dates and Dashes 5/18/2025
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt I have long had a fascination with cemeteries. I have actually written here about this before. I have talked about how this is an inherited trait since my parents share this interest. I think once you understand our reasoning for doing so it won’t come across as quite so macabre ofContinue reading “The Weight of Dates and Dashes 5/18/2025”
Warm, Fuzzy, Falsehood 4/6/2025
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt I had a topic all settled on. It wasn’t exactly what I wanted to write on, but it would work. It was a good story to tell and as I have told it to many people I know, and they all found it intriguing I decided to go with it. AndContinue reading “Warm, Fuzzy, Falsehood 4/6/2025”
Gifts Outside the Box 3/2/2025
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt While I am and have always been a very dedicated procrastinator, my delay in writing this week hasn’t exactly been due to my usual gleefully pushing things until the last minute but moreso due to the fact that it has just been an insanely busy week. Maybe you can relate toContinue reading “Gifts Outside the Box 3/2/2025”
The Box 7/14/2024
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt In my living room as I am writing this, there is a large box. There isn’t to my knowledge, anything in the box. Well, when I left for work this morning there wasn’t, but I am not currently there. I do have a cat that could very easily be making meContinue reading “The Box 7/14/2024”
Legacy 10/16/2022
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt I can’t promise that this will be a particularly lengthy entry. And yes, I must admit that part of me probably just typed that because every time in the past I have prefaced a blog with that then I usually end up with an excessively long product and I have toContinue reading “Legacy 10/16/2022”
A Fairly Grave Tale 4/19/2020
By: Jennifer Richardson Holt I have a somewhat unique hobby. My parents have this same hobby and when I was younger I was quite convinced that they were a tad on the lunatic side because of it. But then again, when you’re younger I suppose most things your parents do are either weird, stupid orContinue reading “A Fairly Grave Tale 4/19/2020”
