The Stuff of Life

Sherry Roberts is not an expert on anything. When she wrote op-ed pieces for USA Today, her editor called her writing "views from the hearth."

That's what this place is: Sherry's thoughts on regular stuff, important stuff, stuff you ponder while sitting around the hearth or the kitchen table. Topics range from current events to the Sanity Toolkit (ideas to get you through the day).

Maybe you've thought about some of these things too. We bet you have.
