Izzy's Hair
In March of 2019, my daughter Izabella turned five. She had one wish for her birthday that I thought might be a little bit out of reach for such a young girl. She wanted pink hair. Not extensions. Not clip ins. She wanted to dye it. After a while, we decided to look into safe dyes and allowed her to go ahead and get some pink dye. We got everything ready and an hour later, our baby had pink hair.

A Discovery in a Bus Shelter. Top Story - November 2025.
I met my first publisher at a bus stop. Yes, I am as busy with the challenges as any of you out there in Vocalland. I have also had more contracts added to my teaching schedule, papers marked and to come on the docket, and I think I may have beaten back a slight cold that set up shop at the back of my head and on my chest. I know that I should rest and restore myself to better shape so that I can keep tapping out these pieces. But I feel compelled to talk about a man who changed my plans for my literary career, especially since I did not think I had one.

“Dear Writer, You’re Allowed to Rest”
You’re Allowed to Rest By[Ali Rehman] Dear Writer, I know you. I know the way your mind races faster than your hands can type.

I know that quiet panic in your chest when you haven’t written anything “worthwhile” for days — or weeks.
