The Journal Of Kim Smith
Well, I am going to have to start sharing my journal with you soon, friends. I am getting out in the world and trying new things. This week: hiking with my son. Yes, this is a great idea.

The Whiteboard – Part Two
Welcome to the second installment of my ongoing short story, The Whiteboard.

You can read part one here The Whiteboard (part two) by Kim Smith © 2017 As the day progressed, Anne began to think of responses to the saying that had been written on the board.
