Because most issues are life issues, if you think about it.
I was inspired to begin writing when I lost my job as columnist on life issues for the local Catholic paper. I’m going to use this new opportunity to explore wider topics. I’m not abandoning the traditional life issues–I will still write about the sanctity of life “from the womb to the tomb.” But really, aren’t most issues life issues, if you think about it?

I am so glad that I will never have to face another Science Fair.

I sat surrounded by dying plants. Some had leaves painted with nail polish and some did not. They were the remnants of yet another ill-advised and poorly designed elementary school science fair project.I got a lot of push back on this when I posted it on my personal page last year. I think we can all agree that it's a Bad Idea to take tired, hungry kids to the grocery store--but that's not the point.

#wholelifeScience is science. Facts are facts. Humans are humans. Inside and outside the womb. And human dignity and human rights belong to all humans.
Welcome to my life.We are so ridiculous when it comes to fixing simple things around the house. What about you?
Leslie, I saw your mom and Jake at Gourmet’s Market today and heard your news … I am really sorry you won’t be writing for the etc any more but hope you will continue to write letters to the editor as you’re called. No one does it like you do with such integrity and reasonable passion. You write well, of course, but more you write for your audience I think in a style rare for most today whose passion tends toward extremism. There is some Latin phrase which means “Virtue stands in the middle.” To my ear, your writing is virtuous in that way of speaking the Truth in love. God bless your new adventure. Kathy DeWine
You are too kind in your comments about my writing–but so encouraging! I will do my best. Thanks for visiting and commenting and I hope you will keep reading. Feel free to pass a link along to anyone else you think might be interested.
Leslie, I so enjoy reading your blogs and especially the one about marriage written on the 10th. I read somewhere that “marriage is a commitment you make each and every day”. I think that’s so true, you may not make it consciously but you make it by simply being there for each other.
Thanks Leslie
I’m so happy that you are still reading! And I’m really pleased that you liked the marriage one, since you really are an expert!
Trying to figure out who wrote this great piece!
Thanks, Allison! Do I really not have my actual name on this blog anywhere? I guess I’d better do something about that! I’m Leslie Hunley Sholly, KCHS class of 1985. 🙂
