• 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…

• Happy Halloween!

  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…

• 🫧Mermaids,and book three😏

  

  I started this journey with an idea. A love of the little mermaid. Now it has evolved into a trilogy and it’s wonderful, amazing, fun. I have not figured out everything yet. I have started outlining again. Third book is super important, more important then the other two. It is the conclusion and the end…it…

• What is in a name…🙃

  

  I am a nerd in all things. So researching names is a fun hobby for me. It is fascinating how names have meanings, colors, history. Each name I chose doesn’t just sound cool it has meaning behind it too! That way it’s more memorable. I think names can be very magical. Also stereotypical. However they…

• Sunshine and stress!

  I am so sorry it has been a while. All I can say is it’s been very difficult for the past few months. It was like my writing well had dried up. My creative voice replaced with stress and not enough sunshine. Depression and rain. As the oldest child in my family I have always…
