We had family visiting from Minnesota this past week. With all the snow Minnesota has had this spring, my husband and I thought we would treat them to new sites. And the sites don't get any better--or crazier--than Boulder, Colorado. In fact, Boulder is like it's own little state. Comments like "Only in Boulder," "That's… Continue reading Unique Boulder

Camping and Writing
It's Sunday, April 1st, as I write this. I saw (or at least noticed) my first Robin today. Watched a squirrel busily building his home. And got all settled into my virtual cabin with my awesome cabin mates at Camp NaNo. It's off to the races. Additional family plans have been added to my calendar… Continue reading Camping and Writing
My Least Favorite Four-Letter Word
B-U-S-Y. It's one of my least favorite four-letter words. No matter where you look, people are busy. And the typical answer when asking someone you haven't seen for a while how they've been, is "Busy." People are busy. Work is busy. Life is busy. Everything and everyone is busy. We're busy at work and then… Continue reading My Least Favorite Four-Letter Word
Foundations
Every chance I get, I tell people of the foundation of faith, family, and love on which my parents built their lives. That, in turn, set such a wonderful example for their children and from there, their grandchildren. I went to stay with them for a couple of weeks a while back as my dad… Continue reading Foundations
The Golden Rule
We’ve all heard of The Golden Rule: While the idea is good to shoot for, it may not be good enough. Simply stated, we can be harder on ourselves than anyone else is. We’re often our own worst enemy, constantly reminding ourselves of where we fall short, where we fail. This, in turn, can cause… Continue reading The Golden Rule

CI – Claire Davis
CI = Character Interview, not Confidential Informant. 🙂 Welcome to the world of Claire Davis, side-kick of Melanie Hogan in the Melanie Hogan Cozy Mysteries, and co-owner of Melanie's hair salon, A Cut Above. Can you provide a physical description of yourself? Hmmm…that’s kind of awkward. Let’s see…I’m taller than Melanie, but that doesn’t… Continue reading CI – Claire Davis
The Company We Keep
Even though it's not Wednesday, I had to sneak in an extra post. This morning as I was running around Lake Estes in beautiful Estes Park, Colorado, my thoughts circled around who I am today, who I was, and who I want to be. Thank God--literally--that I'm not who I was, that I'm finally comfortable… Continue reading The Company We Keep
The Season for Gratitude
During this holiday season, cultivating an attitude of gratitude is at the top of my to-do list. Family is top of the top, hands down. After family, my top 10 for 2016 is: 10.) Election season being over! Nationally as well as locally. My day job is in a political office, which makes election season ultra stressful.… Continue reading The Season for Gratitude
