  • Forward motion equals a brighter future…with a few obstacles…(and Merlot lots of Merlot!)

    Hello all, it has been awhile… a lot has happened in the past few months. All good. Lots of work. So worth it. After being in a consistent limbo for the past four years. We made large strides to change our future just before Halloween. We changed jobs. We planned for a better us. Suffice…

  • The inspiration of Beverly Cleary…

    It saddens me to write this note. I believe my love of reading began with…Ramona Quimby age 8…I was eight years old and the librarian suggested I read this. She thought I would like it. At first I was skeptical like normal eight year olds I think… I read this book cover to cover…I checked…

    Art+Wine=Writing…

    I cannot draw, I cannot paint. Whenever I see something amazing in art, I have a true appreciation for it. I understand the time and energy that is needed to complete things you are passionate about. My first book took me ten years to complete…my second four years. My third 1.5 years. I feel like,…

  • Challenges…obstacles…and petite Syrah…(shit what have I got myself into?)

    I used to look at obstacles as awful. The worst. I am weak. I cannot do it. I’m not strong enough. The voice in my head…I’m too old. I hurt to much. I changed jobs for an easier life. What are they trying to do kill me? When a wrench is thrown I usually run…

  • Tinsel, snow and December

    Living in the northwest has its advantages. We are lucky to have four seasons. The length of those seasons is up to Mother Nature herself. We had eighty degree days in November this year. And snow already. It makes me wonder what the rest winter will look like. I personally hope for more snow. I…

    Aging…good wine, and perseverance.

    Once you reach a certain age. Simple things matter more. Your group of friends grows smaller. Your wants are less. New goals are set. Lists are checked off. It’s like a good wine it only gets better with time. I’m drinking an old vine Zinfandel tonight. I had a very tiring day after a fall…

    Each year this holiday comes around I am always amazed at how fast the year has flown by! Candy is fun. Hocus Pocus is a fave tradition in our household. Also Michael Jackson’s thriller is a must. It brings back so much nostalgia. Enjoyed movies and tacos with my little family tonight. Only had three…

    Change is inevitable…women can be change…joy is on the horizon.

    A few more days and my entire life is about to change. New job. New schedule. Freedom from debt…joy begins! After a decade in a job, I do well. I decided I wanted something more. For myself. For my family. To wake up each morning and be excited about a job again. After the joy…

    Surgery…strength…marriage survival.💕

    I was mostly absent last month due to my husband having major surgery. It was a scary, exhausting month. A lot of tears were shed. I was tested beyond normal limits. The fear of losing my husband gave me the strength to move forward even though I had no idea what I was doing. I…
