Blast from the Past

As I rummaged through some old writing, I came upon one of my old published essays in the premiere issue of Healthy Family magazine from 2004. No digital copy exists, and even my Word document is too old to display correctly, but I have this photograph of the essay, which appeared on the last page (you can click to enlarge). 

​Along with it I found several other stories, some unfinished (for good reason), and others that may be worth saving or recycling. It's strange how rediscovering these treasures can get the wheels turning again (or send me into a time-sucking vortex of distraction and delay). 

I'm thankful to my then agent, Stacey Glick of Dystel, Goderich & Bourret, who connected me with Editor and journalist Christie Matheson for this wonderful feature. A little blast from the past.
