Front Porch: Ladies who lunch .. and talk, listen and care (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s not a career for me or anything, but I do try to connect up in person with at least one of my women friends every week. Often over lunch – lunches which have been known to last all afternoon. My husband is amazed. Whatever can you talk about for that long, he’ll ask. All I can do is smile. Due to no fault of his own, he is a man, and as such, cannot comprehend just how this works and how very easy, and sometimes quite necessary, it is for many of us women to do. Sorry if I appear unevolved,
Front Porch: Calling back memories (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It was the day that America was observing with sorrow and reverence the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City, the Pentagon and the foiled attempt at an attack on what was believed to be either the White House or Capitol building in Washington, D.C., on Sept. 11, 2001. That was 25 years ago, when Belinda was at the twin towers, and I was on the other side of the continent, working as Eastern Washington University’s public information officer in Cheney.

Read excerpt
This column reflects the opinion of the writer. Learn about the differences between a news story and an opinion column. It’s taken me 80 years, but I’ve now finally gotten a handle on this self-care thing. Sure, I try (sometimes even successfully) to eat properly, see the doctors I need to see when I need to see them, take the meds I’m prescribed, keep going up and down stairs (even though that’s more challenging than it used to be) and floss regularly. On the more mental health side, I enjoy ha
Front Porch: It's not obsessive, it's just logical (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There’s been some discussion in my world lately about obsessive-compulsive disorder … and whether we may be tip-toeing up to it. It’s really more about the growing importance in our lives of the logical order and placement of things, not so much the formal mental health condition in which uncontrollable and intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviors can turn your life upside down (clinical OCD). At least, we hope so. Still, it’s always something to consider, especially when it’s becoming more a
Front Porch: Happiness is another plant for the deck (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I told myself I was going to the store to buy light bulbs. Somehow I left with three geraniums and a lavender plant, but no light bulbs. Oops. That was a funny meme I came across online, and I have now found – because I’ve sought them out ever since – so many more that deal with the peculiarities, addictions and general obsessions so many people have about plants, flowers, gardening (including indoor gardens as well) and what a friend of mine calls “dirt therapy.” Most of them contain a good dos
