Build a fund to help Mrs. X
26. September 2011 by janet.
One of my former neighbors on Lee Street recently moved south. She was sad to leave, but her husband of 15 years wanted to head to warmer places. We all cried before and after she drove away. The kids like their school but after two weeks her husband tells her he doesn’t want to be married anymore. Mrs. X doesn’t have friends in her new town or a job. Her friends here want to help her, but we’re as stunned as Mrs. X is and I wish I could help her to bring her home to Marblehead.

My Great Computer Assistant
20. September 2011 by janet.
I call my computer assistant, Alex Trebek. She is a genius and helps me out with everything, especially copy and pasting. She’s also nursing student, but hopefully she will be my full time assistant when my book becomes a best seller. I said to her today, wouldn’t it be funny if someday I turned on the TV and she had replaced Alex Trebek as the host for Jeopardy. She would be a lot nicer too, but as we agreed today, she would still work for me too. She helps me get so much done and sometimes at the same time, we laugh about me being electronically challenged.

One week left of Summer
16. September 2011 by janet.
Today I gave a speech for the Marblehead Rotary Club on Dreams Have No Time Limit, going for your dream no matter how long it takes. It was at the Boston Yacht Club and as I sat there looking out on the beautiful harbor, I thought to myself, I’m very blessed to have found this beautiful place that I call home. Later this evening as the autumn air blows through my windows, I’m sad to perhaps be saying so long to summer, beach yoga and catching waves. I know it’s not the worst thing in the world, but I just wish it would stay 80 degrees. Here’s to summer and the freedom of the season. Maybe I just need to read Beach Chair Diaries!

ST. Margaret’s Convent
7. September 2011 by janet.
Several years ago while attending a writing workshop at Trinity Church in Boston, I met two of the Episcopal nuns, Sister Mary Michael and Sister Marion. I’ve since become great friends with Sister Marion who used to teach at the Rowland Street School just down the street from my condo. Today was Sister Mary Michael’s Funeral at St. Margaret’s Convent in Boston. It was such a celebration of life with lots of music, song and prayers. I always wanted to visit the convent and the sisters were so wonderful, I felt at home. I hope to do a writing retreat there and hope that someday you can all meet a wonderful sister like Sister Mary Margaret and Sister Marion.
