Not “Just” a Deer

August 1, 2022August 1, 2022 ~ Lynn Haraldson ~ 3 Comments

In the face of anyone or anything’s suffering, may I never be someone who says, “It was just a deer.”

Guess Who Tried to Come for Dinner?

Other than hearing a bear on our back porch a few weeks ago, we were bear-free...until yesterday afternoon.

Grief Talk Tuesday: Saying Goodbye to Our 4-Legged Friends

January 18, 2022 ~ Lynn Haraldson ~ Leave a comment

The grief we feel when a pet dies can sometimes rival (or surpass) the grief we feel when a person dies. It gets more complicated when we must decide whether it’s time to end their life. It tears us in so many directions—Who are we to play God?—and while we struggle with the decision and … Continue reading Grief Talk Tuesday: Saying Goodbye to Our 4-Legged Friends

Damn (beautiful) Bear

When I address weight-ish issues these days, it’s through a different lens than when I wrote my Lynn’s Weigh blog (2005-2015). May it–and my scale–rest in peace. I was 33 and blond when I started my writing career. Now, 58 and gray,  I feel like (with apologies to The Carpenters) I’ve only just begun to live…and write.
