Happy New Year! A new year is under way, which is certainly cause for celebration! Another year to live, learn, grow, love, experience, and to just be. By the way, rather than January 1st, I actually use my birthday as the starting point of a "new year," because it makes sense to me that way. … Continue reading Five Good Things Right Now

Two Coins
The following is another fictional short story. The idea for this one came to me one day a couple of weeks ago, when I was walking my dog. If I ever publish anything in an actual book, I suppose I'll have to thank my dog Porkchop in the Acknowledgements. This one's written in the 1st … Continue reading Two Coins

Their Table
I miss you, the note read. The words seemed to leap off the paper and caused her heart to skip a beat. She saw his scratchy handwriting and it reminded her of the love notes he used to send her in the early days of their relationship. Days filled with laughter and love.

Shy Glances
From across the little bookshop, she saw him shyly glance her way. It was another dull Tuesday night and again she had found herself at the bookshop.

A Year of Gratitude, Part 1
Back in December, I was given a set of really cute, purse-sized notebooks as one of my birthday gifts. My family and friends know me well. They know autumn is my favorite season, that I like cute, small things, and that I like to write. While admiring the pretty, golden leaf design on one of the notebooks, I … Continue reading A Year of Gratitude, Part 1

Book Review: Scrappy Little Nobody
Anna Kendrick just might be my spirit animal. I recently finished reading Anna Kendrick's book, titled "Scrappy Little Nobody," and just knew from page one that I would need to write a blog post about it. As I've mentioned in my other book reviews though, I am no book critic, so don't expect much. 😉 … Continue reading Book Review: Scrappy Little Nobody

Nothing to Write
Being an introspective person, my mind and my heart are constantly going. Being a mom, so is my life. However, sometimes I just feel like I have nothing to write.
