I do not have a fine white horse on which to ride,. I have no list of damsels I have saved,. I have no sword and scabbard at my side,. But I can slay the dragon of your fears,. And I can keep the darkest clouds at bay. I’ll kiss away your every frown, your tears,. I’ll bring the joy, the sunlight to your day.

It’s hard to stroll the aisles of the local Barnes and Noble or stop in any airport book store without seeing the shelves and tables stacked with self-help books. The last time I passed through O’Hare I counted twenty-nine volumes. I hardly ever recognize the authors’ names. Your cousin might have written one, or a person you work with. Maybe even the babysitter. Endless), what continues t...

Skip to primary navigation. Skip to primary sidebar. Mary on GB Radio. January 15, 2016. A long time ago I began to realize that the years always go faster when I’m looking back at them. If I look back at ten Christmases, I say, “Holy Cow, where did they go? Then there’s ten Spring times waiting on the crocuses and wiring up the tomato plants. Ten Summers sitting by the ocean or walking in the woods. Ten Autumns, bringing in the first batch of firewood. Filed Under: This and That. I will take this approa...

Courage is Kindness

http://maryflynnwrites.growingbolder.com/courage-is-kindness

Skip to primary navigation. Skip to primary sidebar. Mary on GB Radio. February 24, 2016. For me, courage ranks about as high as any human attribute can. But like many people who lack a death-defying streak, my courage has developed along different lines. I think most of us believe in living principled lives and demonstrating values like openness, honesty and integrity. At least, that’s what I was taught…although, flawed as I am, I have stumbled many times along the way. I had five weeks to prepare, and ...

Generally speaking, people just don’t seem to get you when you’re twice their age. I went to the doctor a while back for a routine check-up and they had a new PA who started over-pronouncing all her words in a loud voice, like I was deaf and senile. I finally had to set her straight. Hey, I just gave the keynote at a leadership conference in Antwerp. Let’s get on with this. And, what if s...

Skip to primary navigation. Skip to primary sidebar. Mary on GB Radio. May 3, 2015. Even as an author, it is difficult for me to write about my mother. Defining her might lead me to be too lofty or too corny…she was that precious. But her memory does bring out the poet in me. I loved her so. Long after the condolences,. I opened the old cigar box. With its sweet aroma of cotton lint,. A scent familiar to your beauty. There, too, the spools of thread. Used to mend a school uniform,. To feel your sweetness.
