Writer’s Block
I believe I have firmly established myself as a writer. After all, I have been successfully blogging on this blog for almost a full year now. I have been a published author since 2007 and have written an entire series based around the Realm of Original Magic and the Portals. I have been writing since […]
Road Trips: Part Deux
My last blog post dealt with some of my musings from the road trip my husband and I just completed. This post deals with the other half of those musings. Unlike other trips to the Windy City where we stayed with some of the members of the other half’s family, since we had the funds […]
Road trips
Road trips are a beacon of summer. Mention a road trip to an American and one is instantly transported to miles and miles of connecting interstates and roadways, where at any moment any number of cars are traveling. Who knows what cars one might see on the road trip too. There are infinitesimal numbers of […]
“You used to…..”
Every so often, I deal with friends and family I don’t see on an often enough basis. I have gone years without actually seeing some family members face to face, though we talk on the phone often and text almost every day. I spend more time emailing others instead of chatting on the phone since […]

I have often found it funny (as in ironic funny, not ha ha funny) how we often go through life sometimes absorbed by what we are going through that we fail to look at the pain others may have as well. I am not a stranger to this, for I often emphasize my own struggles […]
Consider this
Have you ever thought of the word consider? The word means to reflect upon, to think carefully, to regard something. It means to muse upon an idea, to evaluate a suggestion or a claim. We consider decisions we need to make. We consider qualities in ourselves and in others. We consider ideas that make or […]
The Ball is in Their Court
I have a little fortune cookie fortune taped to my old monitor that reads “Patience is one of the hardest virtues to master.” It sits there, reminding me time and time again that I need to be patient. Not everything or everyone operates on “my time” and I must learn to deal with it. I […]
Looking back
As a writer who has been writing since I was little, I often write a great deal in journals, scrawling lines and lines in pen. I do also journal in private folders and blogs on my computer, just typing away my feelings. I sometimes go back and read them, but often, I just tuck them […]
