• 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 […]

• Welcome back fall! 🍂🍁

  

  I might be alone in this… however I am happy to go into fall. Sweaters, boots, fires…Cozy nights reading…my favorites Baking, stews, soups… my favorite things to cook in the crockpot during the fall… hot drinks with spirits. We are also renovating or new master bedroom with hopes of being ensconced before winter begins. It […]

• Motivation to work…is key too changing your mindset.

  

  Editing as I mentioned is exhausting. It takes the joy out of writing. The fun out of creating. So your mindset is key to continually writing. Making your story shine bright. I keep telling myself tiredness is good, it means I’m working hard. This editing project would be so much easier if I wasn’t running […]

• Editing; part three

  

  I think someone said “Writing is like the layers of an onion…🧅 you peal each one back to reveal the heart of the story.” editing is this. I am a visual learner so I need a reference or picture to help me see it. I have found many diamonds among my prose….a whole lot of […]

• Speed, salt, and fun!

  

  My vacation was amazing! It was a wonderful family road trip (the first of its kind.) This one was epic. Across five states, in 100+ degree weather. Bonneville speed week was an amazing display of human ingenuity, engineering, and land speed records. I was impressed to say the least. Camping, was fun. Weather was all […]
