Here’s to you, Mrs. Robinson!
Below is a message from Ms. Robinson , my sixth grade teacher. I wanted to honor her for being the best teacher I ever had. After trying to get everyone on the same page for a memory book, I was able to have this crystal created for her on behalf of ALL of her...

Leslé Honoré Poetry
Dear Body, Yesterday Sandria Washington posted a video about a woman coming to terms with feeling too tall most of her life. I reflected on feeling too tall, not wanting to wear heels, feeling like I just took up too much space. I realized that for probably more than...
Forty-Six
In 1975, Saturday Night Live premiered. And I was born. On March 24, at around 3am, my first season began. And somehow, I’ve managed to get picked up for 45 more. I’ve been thinking a lot about age lately. It’s really quite subjective, isn’t it? I think 46 is old...

Hi, there. Welcome!
I spent the majority of my career in the financial field. I tapped into service work, hoping to send kids on service projects, but then Covid-19 happened. I had this whole site just sitting here and thought of doing nothing at all or doing something I’ve always wanted to without reservation. I could write; tell stories, mine and others. I could help others.
That’s how people. everyday. came about. I’ve always been interested in other people’s stories. How did you get here? What happened then? What did you say; what did you do? Who helped you? Who hurt you? How did you find yourself again? What were the lessons learned? I’ve grown from my own experiences and from those of others.
I hope you will join me as I begin this creative journey…
