Prince Charming is Dead… Today’s discovery was a three ring binder with an outline for a book Anita was working on with the title as seen above. Not a ton of writing in this one, but she had put section heading about different topics pertaining to being a woman primary income generator and things [...] Thumbing through Anita’s senior class yearbook, I was seeking a glimpse of who Anita was in high school. Yearbooks are not necessarily great gauges of a person – a few fuzzy pictures in some clubs you participated in, some not very deep comments from classmates who signed it. I scanned through the hand written notes penned [...] One of my Facebook friends sent out a message that October 15th was the official Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. I had never heard of it, but was happy to join in lighting a candle form 7 to 8 pm in memory of our lost children. Miscarriage is not a topic men speak about much [...] Greg’s Notes: A bunch of the room descriptions were unfinished. Here are some of the notes and semi-written ones. THE LIBRARY First room, filled with books. Haphazard. Relics of many meaning-searching days gone by. Real Estate. Wealth. Nutrition. Exercise. Each one starting from the outside and looking in. But that’s not where the problems [...] THE INTERMISSION 7/9/06 Like all good performances, designing The House (and designing a life), sometimes takes a break. Day-to-day life creeps in, no matter how much you try to avoid it – and proceed in spite of it. There are dishes to wash, bathrooms to clean, laundry to do, depositions to take, hearings to attend, and [...] THE FAMILY ROOM Hands down, this has been the most frustrating room to tackle. No matter what I did, it was just like I couldn’t make this room work. It was big, really big, and totally empty. A beautiful red brick fireplace showcased the back wall – that just had to be the focal point. In [...] Yesterday I was cleaning up some papers in Anita’s office and on the floor (almost looking discarded) was a handwritten sheet on white copy paper. I’m guessing that she had written this in 2009 which is why it was right on top of her stacks of papers and books on the floor. It instantly reminded me [...] THE TEST I mean good grief! How hard can it be? He hasn’t given me a broken body to master, a dysfunctional mind to tame, or a spirit hardened by time and trials too many to count. I want for no worldly thing – not food, shelter, clothing, money, power or prestige. My career was [...] THE HOUSE If you knew anything about me (and I realize you don’t, but you will by the end of the next several chapters), you would know that up until this point I had pretty much lived my life in a never-ending search for the “right” answer, the “right” path, and the “right” decisions. Like a [...] INTRODUCTION The rebuilding – or the initial building, depending upon how you look at it – of my life coincided serendipitously with my first purchase of a real home. Previously, my living spaces and “home” purchases were strictly utilitarian in nature. The first apartment I ever rented was on 17th Street in Lincoln, Nebraska. My now-husband [...] |
