Dear Me: Get Out Of My Way

March 27, 2012 by D. A. Wolf 15 Comments

Dear Me, I don’t want to do what I don’t want to do. But I do. I know. It’s called responsibility. It’s called adulthood. Sometimes, it’s called survival. But if I only do what I don’t want to do, I’m tired and I’m cranky; my imagination stalls and my hopelessness fills out its contours all […]

Beautiful Eyes

March 10, 2012 by D. A. Wolf 8 Comments

Some say eyes are the windows to the soul. So it follows – beautiful eyes, beautiful spirit? When I look into the eyes of almost any child, they seem beautiful to me; the child is untouched as yet by hurt or disillusionment. When I look into the eyes of anyone full of hope, they seem […]

Vous faut-il améliorer votre grammaire ? Vous voulez bien une petite révision animée du passé composé, grâce à Go!Animate ? Et il faut bien un peu de politique en même temps, n’est-ce pas ?

You’re poking around on Facebook posting this or that and glancing in spite of yourself at the assortment of ads that compete for your attention.

The Rightness of Reading

January 15, 2012 by D. A. Wolf 20 Comments

Do you read to your little ones? A real book – with paper pages that smudge and yellow, and a bound spine of some sort? Did your parents or grandparents read to you as a child? Does the pleasure of reading fill you with a state of calm? Time to read – an actual book […]

Laughter Is The Best Medicine

September 25, 2011 by D. A. Wolf 14 Comments

No matter what the time, the place, the circumstances, generally, it’s good for what ails you. Laughter. Seriously! It can’t hurt, right? Except maybe after a C-section or hernia repair. After all, there’s nothing quite like side-splitting, gut busting, uproarious letting loose. I say again: Laughter! Or maybe you prefer a tiny titter from Twitter?

Comely Comestibles (Food In The News)

August 4, 2011 by D. A. Wolf 7 Comments

How could I resist when I found both pickles and chocolate in my morning browsing of the New York Times online, especially with my own periodic pondering on warped views of food, femininity, not to mention fiscal fitness? Stopping by an opinion piece I thought dealt with economics – (it was illustrated by what appears […]
