The Complete Works of a One-Time Blogger
Dear Reader. Thank you for visiting my blog. I am incredibly flattered that anyone would want to read anything I’ve written, would want to hear anything that I have to say. There appears to be something wrong with my website and people are not able to access any blog page after number one, so I
DetailsStephen Mosher On Stopping Time
Today is January First. In spite of many peoples’ firm skepticism, today is my last day as an artist. I will put down my cameras and my pen and cease to create, in order that I might be able to focus time on my family and my life. For five months I have been thinking
DetailsStephen Mosher On The Final Days
Five months ago I announced that I was putting my cameras away. This announcement was met with a variety of responses, the most frequent one being light-hearted teasing like “what again?” – a reaction that seemed designed to 1) hurt me and 2) make fun of me. Fortunately, this year I was able to learn
DetailsStephen Mosher On Blogging

My husband and I love each other. Completely. We are devoted to one another. We know all the secrets, all the flaws and we are still dedicated to each other. We watch a lot of television and movies and very often we see characters walk out on each other, turn their backs on one another
DetailsStephen Mosher On God
I was such a believer. I was complete devout. I wasn’t raised to believe. My parents taught me there was a God. We had a bible and a book of bible stories. Other than that, we were left to our own devices. And I believed. As a child I got down on my knees and
DetailsStephen Mosher On Hallmark Christmas Movies
I love Christmas movies. Even when I was down on the holiday I still watched the movies. Obviously I have my favorites among the classics – the same ones everyone else loves. My personal favorites are the original Christmas in Connecticut, The Bishop’s Wife, Miracle on 34th Street, Scrooge the Musical and Scrooged. Everyone loves
DetailsStephen Mosher On Forgiveness
Do you know how many times I’ve had to ask for forgiveness? Because I don’t. I’m an alcoholic and a crisis magnet. In my youth I created the crises and in recent years other peoples’ crises get brought to me to handle for them (and don’t get me wrong, I still have my own crises
