The Word That Changed Everything
In a quiet village nestled between rolling hills and a winding river, there was a small library that smelled of old paper, polished wood, and the faint trace of candle wax. It was not a grand library by any means, but for those who knew it, it was a place where stories lived and whispered in corners, waiting for someone to listen. Among the villagers, there was a curious rumor: somewhere within the library’s vast shelves, hidden in a book bound with worn leather, existed a single word so powerful that it could change the course of a person’s life.

The Gardener of Saint-Antoine
The garden on Rue Saint-Antoine did not look like something you inherited. It looked like something you apologized for. I stood at the rusted iron gate on my first morning as its owner, keys heavy in my palm, wondering how grief could leave behind so much responsibility. My aunt had called it a gift in her will. A place of continuity. A space worth saving. I remember thinking she must have been kinder than honest.

Presidents' Day replaced separate celebrations in February
Presidents' Day replaced two February observances When I was a schoolgirl in the early 1960s, we observed the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln on February 12 and George Washington on the 22nd. Lincoln's birth date was never a holiday, but teachers had us draw pictures of both US leaders, and we learned about their contributions.

The Day the Sky Burned
On the evening of May 6, 1937, the sky over Lakehurst, New Jersey, was calm and expectant. A gentle rain had fallen earlier, and a crowd of reporters, photographers, and spectators stood watching as a giant silver shape slowly descended from the clouds. It was the LZ-129 Hindenburg, the pride of Germany and the largest airship ever built. To many, it was not just a mode of transport—it was a symbol of human ambition, luxury, and technological triumph. No one knew that within minutes, this floating marvel would become a burning nightmare.

The Christmas Truce of 1914
World War I is remembered as one of the deadliest and most brutal conflicts in human history. Trenches filled with mud, poison gas drifting across battlefields, and millions of young soldiers dying far from home became the grim symbols of the war. Yet, in the middle of this darkness, one extraordinary event stood out—a moment when humanity briefly overcame hatred. This event was known as the Christmas Truce of 1914.

Alexander the Great
Alexander the Great remains one of the most extraordinary figures in human history. In just over a decade, he created one of the largest empires the world had ever seen, stretching from Greece to Egypt and deep into Asia. His life was short, but his impact was so powerful that historians still debate his genius, ambition, and legacy more than two thousand years later.

The Legacy of Genocidal Maniacs and the Father of It All.
I posted a piece earlier today on Meta, and the engagement lent to the discussion of what Trump will be remembered for. I believe that the end will be less than what he conceived, but he will absolutely be remembered for something.

Gone With The Wind: The Abduction of Joan Gay Croft
Located in north-western Oklahoma, the small town of Woodward had a population of fewer than 6,000 residents in 1947. Typically quiet and unassuming, it was the kind of place where little ever disturbed the rhythm of daily life. That changed irrevocably on April 9th of that year—a day that would cast a long shadow over the county’s history.
