The Week's Top Three: 3.) Completing the first draft of my book Shear Madness, which I began in Camp Nano this past July, and beginning to loosely plan the second in the series, Brush with Death, for NaNoWriMo next month. 2.) That first sweet, juicy, crunchy bite of a Honeycrisp apple on a fall day. Mmmmmm...they are the best!… Continue reading T.G.I.F. – Gratitude Friday

Timeout Tuesday
I took a timeout from the busyness of life yesterday to work on--and complete--the first draft of a new novel, Shear Madness. Hallelujah! 🙂 Now to breathe in the sweetness of that accomplishment with a little bit of God's handiwork. "To go out with the setting sun on an empty beach is to truly embrace your… Continue reading Timeout Tuesday
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
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
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?
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
TGIF – Gratitude Friday
Getting back to the Friday posts on gratitude that ended when the A to Z Blogging Challenge began. 🙂 The top three things I'm especially grateful for this past week: 1.) Thursday afternoon off work to snuggle up with a light blanket and Roxie (my dog), a cup of tea and a good book while listening… Continue reading TGIF – Gratitude Friday
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
