2024 has been a rough year in my writing life. I had high hopes of focusing on my writing, but my life had some chaos mixed in that I was not anticipating. That is why a few weeks ago when I received The Artist’s Way Toolkit by Julia Cameron I knew God was...

I have only heard about “meat pies” from my friend in Africa. He loves them. I was curious as to what they are, I was thinking is it like the chicken pot pies that my mom would make or were sold in the frozen section at the grocery store. Not only chicken pot pie...

I usually love historical novels and I was excited when I first received “The Seamstress of Acadie” by Laura Frantz. I just could not get into this book. I hate speaking unkindly about a book. I am not sure if it was the story or the writing. It just didn’t...

Happy New Year! A new year has begun and it is time for me to pick a new focus word for this year. I chose the word Wellness! Last year at this time I was still in the hospital fighting an infection in my right leg that started from a wound I got. They still didn’t...

Whoa! I never thought 2023 would never end. This year has been the most challenging, most life changing chapter of my life. During Christmas and New Year’s I was in the hospital fighting an infection in my right leg. Got out, then ended up going back in, in March...
