• 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,…

• 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…

• 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…

• 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…

  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…

• 🫧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…
