Dumpster Divine

By Kiera Rich – KRich13@bellsouth.net
We live in a very special apartment complex.  The management cares about each of it’s residents and really goes out of the way to give them a happy home.  I know this because of a recent improvement project that was undertaken.  Did the management choose to remodel their “State of the Art” [...]

Lessons Learned from Dr. Seuss

By Kiera Rich – KRich13@bellsouth.net
Last week, I had the opportunity to participate in a “Read Across America” celebration at a local elementary school.   The celebration had a Dr. Seuss theme, so of course I had to be involved.  Our instructions were to come prepared to read our favorite Dr. Seuss story.   As I was driving [...]

Wearing a Black Hat

By Kiera Rich – KRich13@bellsouth.net
“Write an essay in which you prove that other people exist.”  That was my assignment last week for a book discussion group that I’m involved with.  “Book discussion group” sounds good, doesn’t it?  Very intellectual.  However, the reality is that our “group” consists of two.  A friend of mine and me.  [...]

Empty Green Pants

Today’s blog starts with a little bit of reader participation.  Ready?
My name is Kiera, and I’m a Seussaholic.
This is where you say, “Hi, Kiera!”
If there was a 12-step group for people addicted to the writings of Dr. Seuss, I would definitely be a life-long, card-carrying member.  Of course with Dr. Seuss, [...]

A Litany of Thanksgiving

by Kiera Rich KRich13@bellsouth.net
 
My husband and I didn’t do much of anything for Thanksgiving as most of my November has been spent with me on the couch trying to wait out a stubborn case of Mono.  Although our celebration was small and private, it was still very special.  We snuggled on the couch as we ate [...]

The Blessing of Ideas

By Kiera Rich – KRich13@bellsouth.net
As long as I’ve been writing Christian Drama, I’ve been asked, “Where do you get your ideas?” This is usually asked by people who don’t know me very well.   Anyone who knows me also knows exactly where I get my ideas.  From them.
Many times I’ve gone out to eat with friends only [...]

`Tis the Season for Lage Pumpin!

By Kiera Rich – KRich13@bellsouth.net
Have you heard?  The Colorado Rockies are in the World Series!   Apparently few people in Atlanta have heard the news.  Apparently few people in Atlanta have heard of the Colorado Rockies.  Period.
Last Thursday, my husband and I did a fairly thorough search of local retailers looking for Colorado Rockies t-shirts.    We [...]

Not My Area!

By Kiera Rich – KRich13@bellsouth.net
Today my church, Dunwoody Community Church,  is hosting a day of service.  Different teams from the church are going to serve at a dozen worthy organizations in the community.  They are cleaning and repairing and moving and sorting.  They are helping people they’ve never met and probably will never see again.   They are [...]

The Bug & I

Last weekend, I got clomped pretty hard by the mother of all sinus infections.  For the last three days, I’ve been in bed.  Snug in my jammies, I’ve rested, downed several gallons of water, taken all my medicine, watched an entire season of Project Runway re-runs and been waited on by my wonderful husband.   All [...]

If I Only Had a Brain

By Kiera Rich – KRich13@bellsouth.net
Y’all…don’t you just love that word?   ”Ya’ll — I live in Georgia now.  I can officially say that, ya’ll!  Anyway…ya’ll  have read the story of the Wizard of Oz, right?  In the words of Paul Harvey, “Here is the rest of the story.” Ok so, the Lion, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, [...]
