Waking up this morning, you never would have known it was 7:00 a.m. on a Saturday. It's so dark out that even though rain was not predicted, I suspect it is getting close.

A Hard Week Ahead Seven years ago this week, my father passed away. He bravely battled various forms of cancer for 15 years. Eight years “clear”, cancer resurfaced.

I think I make myself incredibly clear. Clear to the point of overly repetitive!

If you read my editor's profile I strictly state that I will NOT do sample edits. I … Continue reading Apparently, Some People Can’t Read Warnings…

"This life, which had been the tomb of his virtue and of his honour, is but a walking shadow; a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more: it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing." -William Shakespeare I am … Continue reading Mid-Week Musings

There are days, weeks, months even, when I have absolutely nothing to say.

I have friends I speak with regularly that I do not tire of, … Continue reading There Are Days

Is The Pen Mightier Than The Sword? I was exceptionally lucky to be gifted with my writing voice relatively young. Being vocal with the written word is something that runs in my family, but for years, I kept things bottled up and didn’t have a lot to say. Being told “Write what you know, think, … Continue reading Is The Pen Mightier Than The Sword?
