• 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…

• Happy Thanksgiving…be thankful for everything you have…🍁🍂🦃

  

  In a time when chaos is everywhere it is nice to know there is a national holiday that encourages you to eat, drink and spend time with family. My second favorite holiday! Last year we were unable to celebrate due to my family being inflicted with covid. They were times last year I wondered if…

• Gratitude…a simple thing means so much.

  

  It’s always a time of reflection when thanksgiving comes along. I always think of my grandma Leone… she loved any excuse to have us come over… she wanted family around at all times…it’s been twenty eight years since she died..I still think of her all the time… She taught us so much… kindness, humility, joy,…

• Whining…wine… and daily difficulties.

  

  It’s crazy to go to work sometimes and know exactly how tired you are…Whining helps at times…How little sleep time got the night before, due to worry. Stress. Your back hurting… wine helps… so does heating pads, epsom salt baths…did I mention wine? Trying to grasp motivation each and every day. Being tired. Being overworked.…

• Survive and thrive…your decisions create your future.

  When I decided to write a novel , I didn’t have a clue about the process. How much time it would take or if I could even finish writing it. Now three books later I am glad I made the decision to write. It is so hard to make myself a priority. Make time to…

• The dark side…when villains cross the line…why we love them.

  

  Have you ever watched a movie where your supposed to be rooting for the hero… but instead you like the villain more? On of the things that makes us root for said villain is the likability or relatability. Just like traits we look for in hero’s… we need these for our villains too, we need…

• The pen can…create…too many secondary characters.

  

  This is one of my faults. I love my minor characters. I create beautiful scenes with them. Scenes that have nothing to do with my main story or protagonist. It’s a problem. One thing I am trying to overcome. The trick is figuring out how to use them correctly. Minor characters need to serve a…
