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 […]
Cold and Thaw
It’s winter in Iowa, as I have already blogged in posts. We had a mild December. It was 70 degrees one day and Christmas Day was a beautiful upper-30s (F) kind of day. We got used to the weather, which spoiled us. But 2022 has come in like a lion. Last week it REALLY came […]
The end of a season
Earlier today, I finally took down my Christmas decorations. I have friends who take them down on the 26th of December. They are quite religious with it too. The holiday is over and they are done with Christmas. I have friends that leave them up as long as they can bear. One year, I was […]
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 […]

Winter
I live in a small city just outside Des Moines in Iowa. Winter has finally struck here. It’s cold. Yesterday there was a high of 16 degrees Fahrenheit with a wind chill of -14. I didn’t leave my dwelling, for it was too cold to do so (and I was recovering from my first work […]
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 […]
Sunrise
In the summer, it is not often that I see the sunrise. When I have to work the full time job, I am usually up around 0530 or 0600. In the summer, the sun has already begun its ascent across the sky by then, so I miss greeting the dawn. But late fall and early […]
