I once had a discussion with an acquaintance over how much sleep a person needs. He was convinced that only “lazy” people get the recommended eight hours or more of sleep. His argument…. Imagine how much more one could accomplish in their day if they shaved even an hour of sleep off of their schedule? […]
Category: Life in General
Stuff I’ve written about life in general.
Gratitude
I am starting out by saying I am not writing this post looking for fame or pats on the back. I write this because I feel led to write this. A year ago, I made the decision to quit a job I was floundering in. A year ago, I had interviewed and accepted a position […]
Advice….
I have heard a great deal of writing advice over the years. The ones that seem to stick out the most in my mind though are the writing advices given to me by my teachers of so long ago. In middle school, I had a teacher who drummed it into my head that words like […]
Music
I have always loved music. I have loved to sing. When I was little, I would sing at the top of my lungs and often made up my own songs. I have sung in multiple choirs, often as a soprano and second soprano. Until the pandemic, I sang in my church choir. But I have […]
Accomplishments
I’ve long deleted the message, but a few years ago I was told via a text from someone I thought I was close to that I had no accomplishments of my own, so I was hanging on to those made by others as if they were mine. In reality, I was extremely happy for this […]

Cats
I have a love for cats. I always have. When I was growing up, my family only had two cats as household pets. We had a cat named Tigger when I was a baby, so I don’t remember him much. The other cat we had was a rough and tumble gray burly thing my mother […]
Write Your Own Story
I recently was asked by a good friend why I often use the hash tag #writeyourownstory on my various social media posts. It started out as just a simple phrase that I typed into one of my novels in a moment of inspiration. I didn’t plan it out, I just wrote the words and they […]
Rest
It’s been almost a full week since I have written anything. A full week….. My brain needed rest. My body needed the rest. Last Friday, 17 December, I started to feel like I was coming down with some sort of cold or flu bug. I had the scratchy throat, aches and pains (which always hit […]
Rainy Days and Mondays Don’t Always Get Me Down
Forrest Gump AND the Carpenters in one post???? Who would have thunk? 😉
