    What freelance writers do

    December 5, 2019December 5, 2019

    My husband and I were having dinner with another couple recently when the husband surprised me with question. “So, what’s the business model for what you do, Crystal?” He is a retired pharma executive for a well-known Fortune 100 company, and I was stunned that he was curious about my work as a freelance writer.

    The Jerry Maguires of Indy’s arts scene

    March 27, 2019March 27, 2019

    Remember the scene in Jerry Maguire where Tom Cruise urges Cuba Gooding’s character, Rod Tidwell, to lose his cocky attitude and get back to playing football for the love of the game—not for the money. “Help me help you,” Maguire begs Tidwell. As Tidwell’s sports agent, Maguire knocks himself out to help the athlete leverage

On a day like today, surrounded by nature, new life and friends at least six feet away—all in decent health as far as we know—I gotta say it’s at least SOMEthing, and it’s pretty darn good. #grateful
    Well, it’s a little sad to admit that a Paris dr Well, it’s a little sad to admit that a Paris dream for two friends must be deferred, but I have to admit the best part of travel is anticipation. Besides, maybe another year will help me brush up on my French. Thank you @janiceartship for the Paris-inspired stationery. It’ll be my consolation for now! #parisdreaming #paperie #stationeryaddict
    A bit of a quandary over here this morning as we s A bit of a quandary over here this morning as we sort out the definition of a single serving of beignet. I lean toward dividing the number of people in the household into the number of beignet in a recipe. (After all, they’re only good when hot.) Any guidance from denizens of Cafe du Monde and The Big Easy are welcome.. . . #comfortfood #cafedumonde #thebigeasy #neworleans #beignets
    This week I noticed a startling Facebook post by @ This week I noticed a startling Facebook post by @theclarinetguy one of my favorite local musicians. Ever thoughtful, Eric reluctantly shared his ensemble’s recently-released recording/video of music written by local composer @funkoftherob . His worry: that it might seem trivial. My answer to that: Not at all, Eric. Our need for music is immediate. It’s never gauche or shallow to highlight new classical music, the people who make it and the organizations that incubate their talent. That includes musicians like classical pianist @clarelongendyke who publicly fosters “the music of our time” by performing it and commissioning it as often as possible. Tomorrow she is live streaming a concert originally planned for the Indianapolis Artsgarden from her Facebook page at 12:15 p.m. . It includes organizations like @classicalmusicindy, which promotes broad access to classical music locally. One of the ways they’ve done that is to provide a rich and growing bank of classical music podcasts, ready for you to listen to NOW. Under normal conditions, they’d be touting the latest release of NOTE magazine. Instead, they’re busy responding to the needs of the community, thinking about the unique ways they can lend support. The latest issue of NOTE gives you a flavor for Indy’s diverse classical music scene, featuring the Indianapolis Children’s Choir, the @indy_symphony @misssophiacho and @pedroperc12 @carmelsymphony Tricia Bonner, IUPUI’s @jordan_munson , Bloomington’s @lotusindiana , Butler University’s @kateboyd1756 — all scribed by gifted local writers like @mostlymidwestern Tom @tomalvarez4756 Michael Toulouse, @jengadillo @nickdeanjohnson and Nicole O’Neal, and crafted by visual artists like Amy McAdams, the graphic designer @matineecreative who makes it beautiful and easy to read. If you care about music, if it’s part of your daily routine, if it calms your spirit in the midst of a storm, here’s a magazine and an organization worth knowing.

Counting the blessings of a comfy home where we can live and work, read books, connect with friends and family by phone and internet, and ask God’s blessings on a suffering world. What an opportunity to trust in him and remember his steady hand is always on the wheel. . . . #trustinghim . #keepthefaith .
    Remember the great Mickey Wright, a sports superst Remember the great Mickey Wright, a sports superstar before there was such a thing—a girl, a woman, a lady, whatever you want to call her. Wright had an incomparable golf swing, a competitive spirit and a string of major victories matched only by Tiger. Little boys who are now old men saw their mamas and grannies revel in Wright’s great accomplishments in an era when the so-called weaker sex wasn’t celebrated for much of anything. Brava and Rest In Peace, Mickey. . . . #womenshistorymonth . #womenofsubstance . #womanathlete
