- [Mother's Day: Let's Give Her A Book](https://tricialottwilliford.com/2026/03/mothers-day-lets-give-her-a-book/): Many years ago, I read Billy Collins’ poem, The Lanyard. It’s an equally lovely and devastating poem about how, as children, we offer our mothers what we can. He writes about being a young boy at summer camp, proudly making a lanyard for his mother — one of those simple, woven plastic crafts that kids […]

When I go thrifting, there are things I can be sure I will acquire while I am there.  You can make a list, check it twice, and you’ll win the bet every time.  My scavenger hunt is predictable. First, […]
- [Three Days of Dopamine](https://tricialottwilliford.com/2025/12/three-days-of-dopamine/): Listen.  We learn things when we learn them.  This one, I learned this year. I have never in my life been ready for Christmas a single day before it was time.  I’ve usually been up on Christmas Eve, well past my Christmas prime, wrapping and tying and low-key resenting the fact that all of these […]
