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. I make a point of thanking them when the last page is turned, offering specific praise for a job well done. Mostly it is because I’m hungry to read well-written,…

Quote of the Week…
The higher your energy level, the more efficient your body. The more efficient your body, the better you feel and the more you will use your talent to produce outstanding results. Tony Robbins, 1960 –

The Good Tired…
Is there such a thing? Life is all about balance and rhythm; ebb and flow, energetic and fallow times. There is beauty in honoring the swing with corresponding action or rest, physically and mentally. My calendar has been packed full all year. Saturdays and Sundays continue to be Boom Boom days, coming on the heels…

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.

How Many Mondays?…

It’s the Little Things…
It is often the little things that keep us from accomplishing the big things. Have you seen the object lesson with two equal jars and piles of stones, pebbles and sand? If you pour the sand first into one jar, then the pebbles, there will be no room for the stones. Now place the other,…

Boom Boom Day…
Today is a Boom Boom Day. Many moving pieces and parts will fit together in a perfect ballet of be there, prepare for this, don’t forget, smile, greet, learn and travel to and fro. At least that’s the plan. I have the honor of hosting Best Selling Author Zibby Owens at a local book event.…

The Lone Writer…
Writing is a lonely act. Struck by inspiration, we choose to make something of it or move on and forget the flash of brilliance, all alone. No one holds my hand while I turn jotted notes into blog entries or scenes for a short story or novel. It is my ten fingers poking at the…
