Sometimes there are just no words to adequately describe the beauty. Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience. ― Ralph Waldo Emerson

This and That
Last week found me a bit under the weather, which included a trip to see my cardiologist. A reminder of how precious life is and how blessed I am to have a device that keeps my heart beating as it should. So this week I'm listing the top three things I'm grateful for. 1. Family--A… Continue reading This and That
We All Bleed the Same
You know how you can hear a song a hundred times and then on the hundred and first time you hear it, you really hear it? Or is that just me? I've listened to We All Bleed the Same by Mandisa on the radio several times a week and while it always gets my attention,… Continue reading We All Bleed the Same
The Bucket List
How many of you have a bucket list? The movie, The Bucket List, with Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson is one of my all-time favorites. It's a 2007 movie in which two terminally ill men (Freeman and Nicholson) set out to accomplish a list of things they want to experience before they "kick the bucket." I… Continue reading The Bucket List
Spring has Fully Sprung
I just love the Crab Apple trees in the spring. The purple, pink, and white flowers aren't only breathtakingly beautiful, but their sweet, tangy aroma is candy for the nose. (The legal kind!) As I was running this past weekend, I was in awe of how the landscape is painted and planted so perfectly, so… Continue reading Spring has Fully Sprung

This past weekend I was fortunate to attend a writing workshop in Denver, Writing Commercial Fiction, by Jeffery Deaver, hosted by Rocky Mountain Chapter Mystery Writers of America, and Rocky… Continue reading Writers and Writing
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
Sandcastles
When writing a first draft, I have to remind myself constantly that I'm only shoveling sand into a box so later I can build castles. Shannon Hale I've been struggling with my writing lately. Justifying the time it takes as well as the lure of everything else "out there" that sucks me in. All… Continue reading Sandcastles
Social Media – Friend or Foe?
Facebook. Twitter. LinkedIn. Instagram. Tumblr. Snapchat. Pinterest. Flickr. These are only a handful of the dozens of social networking sites and apps. One study predicted the number of those using these sites and apps is likely to cross the 2.6 billion mark by 2018. And here we are. It's 2018. But is the facination with… Continue reading Social Media – Friend or Foe?
