There’s been some things on my mind tonight as I’ve been working outside and contemplating a situation. I had some worship music on and was in a meditative frame of mind, rolling some matters over and over in my mind as though turning them from various angles. At one point, I had this deep sense of interpretation of part of a spiritual dream I had last Thursday night. Some dreams are simply dreams borne of my own psyche, while others...

I Blinked and It Was Thirty-Five Years Later

Life Stories, Personal Writings, Writings

Thirty-five years ago on May 27, 1989 I got up around 5:30 am to visit the bathroom and a huge gush of water ran down my legs, leaving a large amount of water on the floor. I was fearful, and knew the day had finally arrived…I woke my husband up and around 7 am we began walking around the mobile home park trying to get labor going. I was not really having any regular contractions, and by noon we were...

Meet One of My Mother’s Heartthrobs–The Dashing and Gossipy Mr. Walter Winchell

Family Outlines and Assorted Collectibles, Life Stories, Writings

Reconstructing what happened to my mother on the campus of West Virginia University in Morgantown, West Virginia in April 1946 seems best done in segments. These various elements converge together into a bigger narrative. At the end of this piece I will reference the narrative composed by my mother’s siblings used on an admission form to the Weston State Hospital on April 5, 1946. I don’t know how her brother, Robert, arrived at this information but I imagine it represented...

Eileen Slifer

I am a visual artist who works in a variety of mediums - producing fine art, illustration and design commissions/products for clients. I have been creating since childhood and sharing my giftings for hire since 1989. I also love to write and have been expressing in this way for a number of years in private poems, stories and journals that have been shared with treasured friends or publicly. Thank you for visiting my blog. I value the time and interest you spend on my expressions, and I read every comment.
