How to find perspective on the pandemic: adapt or die

April 12, 2021 By Carol Cassara 8 Comments

Good night, sweet knight

April 7, 2021 By Carol Cassara 38 Comments

Some relationships are complicated, or so we think. But they're really far more simple than that. Most would consider this one a rebound, and it was. And so much more. He was my knight in shining armor when I badly needed one to ride up and save me. He was joy and light and happiness at a time when . . .

The future is here: to mask or not mask?

April 5, 2021 By Carol Cassara 1 Comment

Now that many of us are vaccinated against Covid we may be wondering if we should mask, still. I am here to remind you that the public health answer is YES.

Live out loud and have no regrets about it!

March 29, 2021 By Carol Cassara 3 Comments

live-out-loud

If you ask me what I came to do in this world, I will answer: I am here to live out loud. -Emile Zola I have always loved the truth of Emile Zola's exhortation. And here is what can happen if you live out loud: You will be too loud for some. And not loud enough for others. You will take risks. . . .

I don't know about you, but I can't over-estimate how much I've learned over this past very difficult year. Congratulations! For those of us who made it through the pandemic and all its challenges, a big pat on the back. We made it and if you followed recommended public health practices to stay . . .

Are we looking hard enough for friendship, love, brotherhood, sisterhood?

March 15, 2021 By Carol Cassara 2 Comments

love-friendship-brotherhood

The incivility of the world around us gets to me, I have to admit. The chasms between us seem infinitely huge.  How did we lose the important traits of friendship, love, brotherhood? When I think about how far apart so many of us are today, it makes me sad for our world. And the next . . .

If you don’t love California you’d better have some experience of it

March 8, 2021 By Carol Cassara 11 Comments

love-California

"There have always been idiots," my husband said on our morning walk. "But until the advent of social media, they've never had a platform."

What it costs you to have the courage of your convictions

March 5, 2021 By Carol Cassara 3 Comments

courage-of-your-convictions

I was not gifted with tact. But I was given the ability to draw inferences. To look ahead and see that If X happens then Y is likely to occur. I was not gifted with patience. But I did get a certain dogged (some might call it stupid) endurance. Because it always seems to me that the logic is . . .

Boomers look ahead

February 28, 2021 By Carol Cassara 10 Comments

look-ahead

The other day I ran across my diary from 1968, when I was a mere 17 years old. Besides the delight of introducing my almost 70-year old self to my teenage self, i was amazed at the things I didn't remember.  If only I'd kept diaries more than sporadically!

Is it healthy to need your space?

February 22, 2021 By Carol Cassara 12 Comments

need-your-space

I am a person who needs her space. I have always been that person. Always. When my writing class laments the solitude of writing, I celebrate it.
