My Top Three for the Week: 3.) The joy of going on a weekend getaway for my wedding anniversary. It's been an amazing eleven years married to the most amazing man and my best friend! 2.) The soothing feeling from listening to the beautiful music of David Nevue. Here… Continue reading T.G.I.F. – Gratitude Friday

And This…
...is what I did this morning. Camp NaNo 2014 complete. What a great feeling it is. And with that, I think I'll just sit and enjoy the view for the rest of the day. Though I have to admit, I'm already looking forward to camp next year. 🙂
T.G.I.F. – Gratitude Friday
My top three for the week: 3.) Watching my 22-year-old son play in a soccer tournament. I love to watch him play. His speed, skill and agility are delightful to watch and I'm so proud of him. 2.) Opening the door one evening to find my 25-year-old son and my 16-month-old granddaughter standing there, both… Continue reading T.G.I.F. – Gratitude Friday
Back to the Basics
I've decided to take a week-long "partial" leave of absence from electronics. I received an email the other day that contained a series of pictures, each with a brief caption beneath it, that had a profound effect on me. Let me share some of them with you here: A day at the beach Out on… Continue reading Back to the Basics
Healing Words
Today, July 8th, marks eight days of celebrating life, and each day hereafter, yet another. A year ago, I posted a blog entry on life circumstances that have made July a very difficult month to get through. I had mentioned how each year I would find myself holding my breath just waiting for July to end,… Continue reading Healing Words
A Glorious Sunday Drive
On my bike. As strange as this may sound, there's nothing more relaxing to me than a long bike ride on a beautiful Sunday morning. Of course by the time the 30-mile ride is done, there's nothing more relaxing than being back home, showered, with a bowl of popcorn and an A&W 10. 🙂 The… Continue reading A Glorious Sunday Drive
Prioritizing Priorities
I've come to realize--again--that I'm not super-human and have conceded to the fact that I need to prioritize my life a bit. I'm confidant I'm not alone in that I tend to keep taking on more and more, often without realizing it, until life becomes a little bit of everything done somewhat well and nothing done well. There's… Continue reading Prioritizing Priorities
Who’s up for Going to Camp?
Where? At Camp NaNo. 🙂 November is National Novel Writing Month but the NaNo team also holds camps in April and July. Though Camp NaNo is somewhat smaller than November's hoopla, from what I see in numbers, it has grown considerably since its inception. The difference between the one held in November and April and July's Camp is… Continue reading Who’s up for Going to Camp?
Why Do You Write?
Sandi Ault, author of the bestselling, award-winning WILD Mystery Series, was one of the presenters at the Northern Colorado Writer's Conference I attended this past March, and one of her sessions was called Writing for Love, Prestige, or Profit. To say the class was filled beyond capacity is an understatement. We were very cozy with those sitting around us!… Continue reading Why Do You Write?
The Power of Words
This has been an interesting week for sure. Amidst all the excitement I was feeling about my book being published, I hadn't even thought of the possibility that others wouldn't share that joy. While I don't believe, for the most part, that people intend to be hurtful, that doesn't change the fact that words can sting the heck… Continue reading The Power of Words
