Anyone who knows me knows that though I am a goofy magical person that tries to march to the beat of her own drum, I also am very much a rule follower. The issue is that I tend to follow a bunch of rules that only make sense in my own head, rules that have […]

Life Lessons from Geocaching: Solo Adventuring
The other half and I have been geocaching now since 2019. If you don’t know what geocaching is, well, there is a blog post I wrote about that. But this is a post in what I will hope will be a series of posts about the lessons of life that I have learned while doing […]
Be Ridiculous
The other day, in the midst of some crazy at the full time job, with my head swimming of things I needed to do and people I needed to speak to and reply to. I got a voicemail. A voice from the past who said just a few words….. And suddenly I taken back in […]

That day, I had hiked the equivalent of six miles. The final geocache was an unpublished one, […]
Dejections
The other day I finally did our taxes. As I went to download my 1099-MISC for royalties from 2025, I got notified I didn’t even receive a 1099-MISC for last year because I didn’t even hit the threshold for it. It was kind of a mental blow. But in a way, it is my fault. […]
Keeper of Memories
Magical readers, I am thrilled to tell you that I am releasing another story in my Portals Series! Unlike the novels or novellas in the portal fantasy adventure series, this truly is a short story at just under 8,000 words and four chapters.

Halloween Town: Secret, Secrets… we all got a secret
This is a story about my Halloween Town. I used to put a description of the origins of my villages on every post about my villages, but since I have a whole created page about the Village Stories I have written, check it out there if you have no idea what my Halloween Town is. […]
