Staying Focused
Trying to stay focused now that the book is available is a bit overwhelming. I am now beginning the marketing part with Corey Blake and a little stressed on where to begin. I know that once things get rolling I will just roll along with it, but for now I need to take a deep […]
My Sisters Keeper
Today I took my husband to the movies to see My Sisters Keeper. I had read the book about a year ago and agreed it would be a wonderful and touching movie. Although the ending is much different than the book, the emotional feeling that took me over during the film was almost too much […]
My Family
When I began to write and decided in what direction my story was going to go it took a lot for me to give in to myself and write the real story. It has taken many years to learn how to open up and share thoughts that have been buried for years. It was very […]
My Dad
Celebrating fathers day last Sunday was a wonderful experience that I look forward to each year. First my dad came and spent the weekend with us, something he does not get to do often anymore. Second, I was able to gather almost the entire family for a barbeque along with kids, grandkids and some very […]
Sample Book

They are very excited that we are donating the profits to them and are willing to help in any way possible. I look forward to working a bit closer with both of these folks and feel very confident that there […]
How Did They Do It?
Today I went to brush my hair and thoughts swept through me from my childhood. Actually it was a story my mother told me when I was a bit older and recovering from my cancer. As she brushed my long blonde hair when I was so very sick, she told me that she would cry. […]
Living For Today
It is important to live for today, not recklessly, but to live life and enjoy each moment. Enjoy the small things in life like the beauty of our earth, or the smile of a child. Try not to find fault in people too often, appreciate the good in everyone. Most everyone has something wonderful to […]
