We Do Because We Must…
What drives you through each day until your head hits the pillow, at peace and ready for rest? What passion bounces you out of bed, eager to face a brand-new day of more, more? I can’t imagine doing anything other than writing for the bulk of my allotted hours. A few of those are spent…

Thank Your Writers…
My buckling bookshelf is stacked high with novels written by people I am connecting with through writing groups. What a perk to read their words.

My Days are Numbered…
Say I live to be one hundred. 36,525 days, counting leap years. Pittance! Especially considering the (mumble mumble) years behind me. No regretting wasted days and wasted nights. Joy resides in the diversions along the path toward a lifelong dream. Those “offroad” experiences deepen the value of my days and expand my perception of the…
