It was so warm for an October day. Still, I wore three layers and brought hot tea. I sat on a rock for a while before hunting. I am fighting a nasty cold so I didn’t stay long. I’ll just look a bit, I told myself. And I did.
I found a few stunning pieces (see catch of the day [...]

So far, I have not felt the pull to create a sea-glass mosaic though I have considered making a wall of tiles with sea glass in each tile.
Mostly though, I love being able to hold the sea glass in my hand. Even the pieces I make as necklaces need to show the sea glass. I’m [...]

in memory of a neighbor
He did not find shore, a safe haven, his brother knocked empty on a loud door.I sat at my desk looking out the window into darkness and listening.No one expected a response. Papa H..said “Hi” today as I passed him yesterday’s paper. It wasn’t even noon.He was talking to our postal carrier.They were silent as [...]

I’m forty. Sometimes I neglect myself. I love to write and yet it often makes it to the bottom of my to-do list. If I wasn’t in a writing group with the pressure to produce I might organize my recycling, sort sweaters that need to go to Goodwill or paint that second coat in the [...]

It is early in my hunt and I spot an enormous heart-shaped rock. It is for my friend. She has her own collection. I know this. I understand this strange passion more than I ever did before. I pick up the rock. It is not small. It stretches at my sweatshirt and is hard to carry. It is [...]

The other night, the tide was gentle and soft, mother nature slurping the bottom of her big ocean soup or a dog dog licking and messy and happy with no care to what gets wet.
Catch of the Day
I found my first piece of blue. I knew I would. I’d love to say I could sniff it out of [...]

The title of my blog is sea glass girl. This is not only a blog about how I love that certain shade of pink in the last piece of glass I found. It’s about when I read a quote that will not leave me alone. It’s about how obsessed I am with the origins of things meaning [...]

I’ve been working on a piece on spirituality for my writing group. It’s not polished up yet but here are a some excerpts:
I don’t go to church or take communion nor do I sit on a mat, legs folded, and meditate. I do get down on my knees at times, by the edge of my [...]
