I’d been poor as shit for my entire life. I’d learned to roll with it most days. Other times, like this morning, it punched me in the teeth.
In Harmony- Emma Scott
I’ve never been hit in the face. My mother didn’t bother disciplining me. Though I saw men hit her and my aunt from time to time, no man has ever hit me, so I didn’t know. I couldn’t have known that the first hit, that baptism into violence, doesn’t just sting the flesh. It startles the soul.
Long Shot- Kennedy Ryan
His children were left behind, like a sock in a drawer that was almost empty, and that was a million times worse than if there was nothing left at all.
Bring Down the Stars- Emma Scott
I’m just a girl, standing in front of a salad, asking it to be a doughnut.
Lost and Found Sisters- Jill Shalvis
Ragged police tape swung from the columns. The double-wide front door had been blown open, like the house had died mid-scream. Like it is still screaming.

It’s a wonder the love in this photograph hasn’t melted that ice…
Wonderful, Jacquie…

I’m guessing not near Victoria, although the last couple days felt that cold.

My wife and I went to Alaska this past year, and we’re out on a boat near a glacier. It was pretty impressive to watch pieces of the glacier breaking off.

I bet it was a thrill! They say the bulk of an iceberg is below the surface. Imagine how huge they are!

This picture is so naturally amazing. I can see it enlarged and hanging on a wall. What a memory. Perfect title for your post, Jacquie. ❤
