Kitty LeFey’s Cosmos: Dearworthy
What exactly is “dearworthy,” and how could it possibly pertain to cats? You might want to grab a cup of tea, coffee, or cocoa and settle in with a kitty before reading on.
Kitty LeFey’s Cosmos: Reception
For those of us with, shall we say, enough years of experience, the first thing we think of when someone says, “Reception,” might have to do with tuning an old TV using rabbit ear antennas and tweaking with endless adjustments to get a clear picture. American football fans might think of fine-tuning their skills to […]
Kitty LeFey’s Cosmos: Total Tabbies Tabby’s Place Takeover
You might be familiar with Total Tap Takeovers. These events are coordinated between individual breweries and restaurants to highlight one brewery’s offerings. Each beer tap is specific to that brewery until the kegs kick (run dry, empty out, fail to produce further pints, go all frothy, skunk…ahem). Brewery representatives are sometimes onsite to hand out […]
Kitty LeFey’s Cosmos: Hipso Facto
Life brings change. Some change is good; some change is bad. Most change is neutral. Change is as inevitable as the shift from day to night, sunrise to moonrise.

Kitty LeFey’s Cosmos: Wintry Mix
On a cold, bitter day when a chill rain alternates with biting sleet and frigid snow, and when ice seems to seep through one’s very veins, you know you’re in Central New Jersey in early winter. Mere thoughts of going outside are unwelcome. Actually, going outside is avoided. Warm, safe, and cozy are the aims […]
Kitty LeFey’s Cosmos: Of Pumpkins and Pachyderms
The first thing that comes to mind when thinking about elephants is not usually pumpkins. That is, unless you’re thinking about a zoo, specifically, the Oregon Zoo in Portland.
Kitty LeFey’s Cosmos: Sweet Surprise
Decades before there were lollipops stuffed with bubble gum or chocolate taffy, an entrepreneur created square hard candies that were individually wrapped in cellophane. He called them Charms. This changed my life forever. For my father’s mother, Charms were a little something to moisten her mouth, a little treat for a grandchild. For her, every […]
Guest post: Looking up
Have you ever wanted to curl up in a fetal ball and never leave your bed again? Not the best idea. This world is filled with ups and downs. Sometimes, the downs feel like they’ll go on forever. Highly improbable. Besides, from our Earth-bound perspective (actually, probably from any perspective), there’s way the heck more […]
Beside you in the new
We’ve come to the end. We’ve come to the beginning. We’ve come to the moment that sends us backward and forward like spiritual seesaws.
