Cherries by Megan Homan
Before I moved to Boston six years ago for graduate school, I’d never lived anywhere but Michigan. I grew up in a suburb just south of Detroit and went to college in Ann Arbor. And when I think of Michigan, besides my family and friends, I mostly miss the food. I miss Vernors ginger ale, [...]
Writing as Meditation by Melissa A. Bartell
Five years ago, my husband and I drove from California to Texas. As we drove a good portion of the length of California, and then across the Mojave desert, I kept a journal, which I eventually turned into a piece of creative nonfiction for a contest. It was during that trip that I also returned, [...]
My Imperfect Meditation by Shanna Trenholm
“Who am I? What was that I experienced?” -Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche I sit. The candle flame flickers. Music of indeterminate origin, perhaps Native American flute combined with East Indian chanting, swirls around the studio. The room fills with a variety of people: young, old, men, women, tattooed, dread-locked, and bespectacled–a cross-section of humanity streaming in [...]

Greetings (and Pan Fried Haloumi with Spiced Dates & Pears) by Megan Homan
Six years ago, I’d never cooked a thing in my life. I’m sorry, that’s not entirely true. In high school one year I made a birthday cake for a friend, and I once baked brownies from scratch. They looked awful, lumpy and lopsided, but tasted wonderful. I had a no-bake cheesecake disaster in seventh grade: [...]

Girl Everlasting by Becca Rowan
“Where are you girls going for dinner?” my mother asked, referring to my plans for an afternoon outing with a friend from church. The question took me back about 30 years, to my high school days and gatherings of giggly teenagers who piled into the back of my Chevy Nova, ready to cruise the shopping [...]

Ever find yourself in a discussion with someone and you are having difficulty getting her to understand your perspective?

Putting on My Big Girl Pants and Dealing With It by Samara Leigh
There comes a time in one’s life when we realize that we’ve spent more time on this earth than we are likely to get going forward. For me, that became glaringly apparent after celebrating my 39th birthday a couple of months ago. While, of course, I intend to live to the ripe old age of [...]
