One Line, One Love: The Resilient Writer

Episode 77: Learning About the World and Writing Your Story

One Line: “You hear some truths and some falsehoods and you use them to make your own vision of the world.” ~Jay Armstrong

🎙️ Episode 77: In this episode, Gail shares the story of a simple tablecloth she bought on a trip to Mexico as a teenager—a beautiful thing that somehow held the weight of grief, memory, and an early lesson in how hard the world can be. What started as a souvenir became a symbol. Of loss. Of her mom. Of the moment childhood ended a little too early. Jay and Gail talk about the unexpected objects that carry our stories, and how resilience sometimes starts with accepting what we can’t fix—and choosing to carry it anyway.

This one’s about memory and the quiet strength we find in the fabric of our lives—sometimes literally.


Gail Boenning wanders, wonders, writes, and wields a paint brush. She finds joy in elevating the ordinary to the extraordinary.
