There are a few books that I have read/listened to over and over and over. And each time, I pick up something I missed the time before, positive it wasn't there the last time I read it; I was sure the book goblins added it to the page and reshelved it in my bookcase, or… Continue reading What If?

Q4 of 2024 is Knocking at the Door!
Hello, my name is Rhonda and I'm a planaholic. Q4 of 2024 is mere days away, and one of my goals is to read three books per month, one non-fiction and two fiction. It doesn't sound like much compared to a lot of people I know, but when I factor in writing time, grandbaby time,… Continue reading Q4 of 2024 is Knocking at the Door!
My One Word
It's that time again. Time for My One Word. My One Word is a movement where you prayerfully choose one word to help narrow your focus for self-improvement. I don't know about you, but a long list of resolutions is daunting. And quickly broken! Focusing on just one word and creatively applying that word, impacts… Continue reading My One Word
The Lure of Bookstores
Anyone remember B. Dalton, Waldenbooks, or Borders? If you're a writer, you likely remember all of them well. To authors, brick and mortar bookstores are the equivalent of water to a river. We all dream of having our books holding space on the shelves. Even before I began to take my writing seriously, I spent… Continue reading The Lure of Bookstores
Authors Supporting Authors
This past Saturday I was fortunate to be a part of book event at Welcome to the Bookstore with some author friends. There was a scavenger hunt, trivial pursuit, author readings, refreshments, drawings, and a whole lot of camaraderie with some amazing authors. I'm equally fortunate to have found such an amazing writer's group to… Continue reading Authors Supporting Authors

Productive Thinking
When I'm running or biking is when ideas for new work, or my work in progress, flows. It's then that life seems to teach me what it wants me to learn, and when my thoughts are somewhat productive. Not only does running and biking exercise my body, but my mind as well. This morning I was listening… Continue reading Productive Thinking
Hodgepodge
There's a lot that's swirling around in my head these days, the top of that list being sheer gratitude for life in general. There's something about starting and ending the day with a simple "Thank You" that makes all the rest in between all the sweeter. It's hard to believe it was a few short… Continue reading Hodgepodge
Vacation Highlight
Last week I disappeared off of the blog radar for a spell while I went on vacation. When I went back to work this past Monday I had three people ask me what the highlight of my vacation was. The same answer to all three people resulted in the same response from all three. Clearly these… Continue reading Vacation Highlight
“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…
