STUFF IT In a world of all perfect worlds, I would be free of stuff. I wouldn’t own a collection of mismatched coffee mugs and dishes and teacups. I wouldn’t have old sheets with frayed pillowcases. I wouldn’t have new sheets either with cute matchy-match shams. I...
D-D: Hi. Can I take a picture with you? TWIRLER: Yeah. Can I have a dollar? D-D: Yeah. I posted a video of you the other day. Is that Ok? TWIRLER: Yeah. D-D: What are you doing exactly? TWIRLER: I’m twirling. I’m a twirler. D-D: You’re very good at...
It is a doll. In a creepy antiques mall. It kinda made my spirit fall.

Deirdre Timmons
An accomplished writer and filmmaker, Deirdre Timmons is a native Northwesterner who leads a busy life between working and spending time with her family. In the spring of 2013, Deirdre was caring for her mother with Alzheimer’s in addition to her normal routine. So when she began feeling tired and forgetful, she chalked it up to her busy schedule, age, and possible early symptoms of Alzheimer’s. It wasn’t long after that she began experiencing regular dizziness, lack of concentration, unexplained weight loss, and extensive bruising. This combination of symptoms seemed odd, so Deirdre sought the advice of her doctor and subsequently began physical therapy for dizziness. When the symptoms worsened, she pursued further investigation.
After MRIs, x-rays, blood tests, a CAT scan, and a brain biopsy, her brain surgeon diagnosed Deirdre with a malignant medulloblastoma brain tumor. Her prognosis: one month to live. That was five years ago.
