I've temporarily changed the old saying, April Showers bring May flowers, to April Showers Bring Lots of Writing Hours. Last April I participated in the A to Z Blogging Challenge, and this year I've decided to head to Camp for the month of April. Camp NaNoWriMo. I will still be reading the blog posts of those participating in the challenge,… Continue reading April (Word) Showers

My Writing Process
I met the talented Rachel Carrera during the 2014 A to Z Blogging Challenge and was invited by her to participate in the Writing Process Blog Tour. I've been reading the answers to the given questions by other bloggers who have participated and I have to say it's been enlightening to not only read about other writers, but to… Continue reading My Writing Process
“Z” is for…
Zoey and Zig Ziglar Yes, you read that correctly. My favorite "Z" word in the whole world is Zoey, my precious granddaughter. There is none so perfect as she. 🙂 Especially in her sassy little leopard print dress. And Zig Ziglar? I couldn't think of a better way to end this remarkable blog challenge than… Continue reading “Z” is for…

Practicing yoga has woven its way through various aspects of this life I live. The parallels are multiple in number, and I believe it’s more than mere coincidence that it’s called “practicing” yoga. It’s a discipline that allows an opportunity to practice becoming better–at yoga and at living life. Each stretch and pose, as uncomfortable and awkward… Continue reading “Y”is for…
“X” is for…
X-tra ready for the challenge to be over...Okay, so that may be cheating a bit. But the truth is there all the same. 🙂 This challenge has been an amazing journey. It's taught me that even when I am sure I have nothing to say or my mind feels blocked from thinking of something interesting to… Continue reading “X” is for…

Writing on the Wall After reading a blog post some time back asking how far back our love of writing went, I began thinking about when my love of words began, and discovered it was the writing on the wall. Literally. Much to my mother and father's dismay, I began experimenting with writing on our living room… Continue reading “W” is for…
“V” is for…
Vacation Who doesn't love a vacation? The image of my toes in the sand, a cool drink in my hand...ahhh...heaven. When I was younger my definition of vacation was narrow, including only the traditional meaning of the word--"a period of time that a person spends away from home, school, or business usually in order to relax or… Continue reading “V” is for…
“U” is for…
Understand There's a common saying that says in order to love others, you must love yourself. I go back and forth on that one and think there's more than one way to look at that. I do believe, however, that before I can understand the world around me, I must understand my place in the… Continue reading “U” is for…
“T” is for…
Tidbits - Because they're fun! 🙂 Top Ten I liked while searching: 10.) In the I Love Lucy episodes in which Lucy was pregnant, each one had to be reviewed by a minister, priest and rabbi in order to ensure that they weren’t offensive to the television audience. (What in the world happened between then… Continue reading “T” is for…
“S” is for…
S.P.E.A.K. This past Saturday I participated in an event near and dear to my heart. The Youth Commission in my city hosts a S.P.E.A.K. (Suicide Prevention Education Awareness and Knowledge) week each year and one of the events is a 5K walk, which was Saturday. Having been touched--and devastated--by suicide with a friend several years ago… Continue reading “S” is for…
