  • The Kidnapped Child That Would Never Forgive

    September 16, 2009

    • This essay was filed for the "forgiveness" blog competition, and has now been removed due to the sensitive, personal, and emotionally charged nature of its content.
  • Ubuntu and the power of forgiveness

    September 16, 2009

    • As I prepare to write this entry, I think in a way that forgiveness is a difficult for many of us as understanding can be. To forgive those that have wronged us can be a great challenge, and a difficult thing to anticipate being able to do.  For me, forgiveness has never been that tough for me. In part, because I have learned how to be a doormat my whole life, and just thought it was ...
  • Forget not Forgive

    September 16, 2009

    • A blog entry about forgiveness for my first Red Room blog post. Can I write convincingly about something that doesn't exist?No forgiveness. Only forgetting. Fading memory. What passes for forgiveness is exhaustion. Emotional blindness. No forgiveness. Only a silent space where you once stored your broken heart.After war, atrocity or genocide there is sometimes a call for reckoning. Outrage ...
  • Nothing is independent

    September 16, 2009

    • It is commonly believed that to forgive is something that has to be given, when in fact to forgive is a state of being. You may believe that some deserve forgiveness while others don't... Don't be fooled by what we have been taught through tradition! To forgive does nothing (internally) to the one who has hurt you, but it does to you. Forgiveness makes you a better human being, and it ...
  • The Power of Faith and Love Revealed

    September 14, 2009

    • Visionary Anna Babic is an honest spirit who seeks to spread the message of her faith, but a non-believer Matt Robins, whose faith was ruined as a child, plans to find fault in her life's work.  However, in the midst of his trial to prove her wrong, he finds an inescapable urge to share his life with her.  Will Matt succeed in challenging Anna's convictions and faith, or will he find her pure ...
  • In Praise of Those Who Serve

    September 14, 2009

    •     It is not often that the words "military" and "love" are used in the same sentence, unless one is describing the patriotic passion possessed by men and women working in the various branches of the service.  It is true that these soldiers have a love for their country and their freedoms (as well as ours), but let it not be assumed that these same people who serve have ...
  • The First Chapter of my book, "Troubled Memories."

    September 13, 2009

    • For so long now, I have attempted to put this book into the hands of a literary agent. I wish so much that they'd read more than just the first chapter or even the first five chapters. Anyway, you'll see me mention it many times in discussions, so here it is,,,,Chapter 1:  Troubled Memories By: Raymond MalletteChapter one             It was just another quiet day in a small ...
  • What's in a Cover?

    September 12, 2009

    • What's in a Cover?  I thought when Arirang: The Bamboo Connection was published it had the most beautiful cover I could imagine for the story.  The romance of Greek mythology figures throughout the novel, and the Parthenon on the bright red cover, two gold bamboo rings representing the unrequited love , and the deep red of the Orient combine to intrigue the reader to delve into a story of ...
  • Food and Love

    September 12, 2009

    • My husband Kenneth and I recently celebrated our sixteenth anniversary.  We flew to Seattle and spent four days exploring the city and doing what we do so well: eating great food. Kenneth started cooking when he was four years old, following his grandmother around the kitchen.  He never uses the word "chef."  He's the real thing, a cook.A few Sundays ago, we had friends over for a ...
