I love to write stories. I also love to decorate for the holidays. And now that I have my OWN little abode, I have the ability to go all out. I also will be in the process of turning my childhood dresser into a credenza to showcase my wonderful little villages (that’s a summer project […]

Love thine enemy
It is super hard to be nice to people who are mean to us. Ask any person who works in customer service or retail and they will tell you so, since they are expected to be friendly even as anger and vitriol and snide comments are thrown their way. Between the entitlement stories and the […]
Blessed are….
In my fantastical adventurous Portals Series, there is an enemy to magic. It is not dark magic, for even sorcery has a place in my fictionalized world of portals and realms even as some look down their nose at it. It is rather an ideal, an entity called evil. Evil is twisted, created from the […]
Is it lawful to do good?
“Jesus said to them, ‘I ask you, is it lawful to do good or to do harm on the Sabbath, to save a life or to destroy it?” Luke 6:9 (NRSV) In the Christian Bible, Jesus spoke this after being questioned why he was healing a man on the day of rest. Those questioning him […]
Monday musings
As I drove home the other day from work to my new abode, I noticed a hawk catching a ride on a gust of wind. In that same seven mile journey, I also noticed an eagle flying high in the sky, a flock of geese in perfect formation in the vista ahead of me, and […]

Life happens. Enjoy it while you can.
So sometime in the past day or so, I lost a citrine gemstone from the ring my other half had special ordered for me almost two years ago for our fifteenth wedding anniversary. Somehow in the course of packing, moving, cleaning or whatever, one of the prongs opened and the stone simply fell out. One of […]
New year, same story
It’s been a crazy start to the new year, but it’s been a welcoming start. For those who don’t know, last week the other half and I closed on our very first home. The past week has been a whirlwind of cleaning the new to us house, painting the interior walls, doing some minor repairs that […]
It’s the end of another year
It’s the time of year where everyone shares their accomplishments for the year. And while this post will be no different in that regards, there is also a bit of reflection as well. I had several author and writing related goals I had jotted upon a piece of paper at the beginning of this year: And […]
