Hello, friend! Delighted you stopped by~ Hope your week’s off to a super start! Well, as so often is the case, days, weeks, and months are humming by at lightning speed. In some ways it’s nice. Getting rid of dull, dreary winter and preparing for the warmth of spring always brings a sigh of relief. By February, I’m tired of …
I feel things deeply. I adore gallantry and old-fashioned romance. I have a deep reverence for God, country, and tradition. I cheer for the underdog. I rail against injustice. Suffering in any form disturbs me. I want to help because I’m a doer. In junior high, I once had a teacher refer to me as “an old soul” after I …
Ahhh. Wednesday. The mid-week slump. Are you feeling a little blah? A little unmotivated? Well, I’m so happy you’ve stopped by! I have just the cure! Today I’ve pulled out all stops and picked a basketful of encouragement just for you. I’ve combed through the archives and chosen a few of my favorite posts—ones that will uplift, inspire, and brighten …
In the writing world, fewer things are harder than the wait. Whether it’s the expectation of what may happen or the weight of what won’t, writers tend to catalog their success by others’ acknowledgement. Why? Because we’re human.

What determines a winner? Genetics? Mindset? Drive? To go a step further, what defines a winner? Well, most of us would think of accolades. Recognition. Acclaim. Maybe even superstardom. But what about those folks who are the quiet achievers—the ones who plod along day in, day out blazing a different, but distinct trail uniquely their own? Food for thought, isn’t …
What a difference a weekend makes! Here in the Ozarks we had spring like temperatures. Knowing it wouldn’t last, I savored the bright sunshine and warmth. Ahhh. I hope you’re refreshed and raring to go. If you’re not quite there yet, here—> {{{HUG}}} Feel the love? I really, truly hope so! I’m thrilled you’re here! I have a delightful week …
Gingerbread men make me smile. I think they add a touch of whimsy to ordinary life. They never say a word, yet they tickle my funny bone. In fact, I collect them. The little fellows grace my laundry room walls and they come in various sizes. And…yes. I have borders to match. (If I must wash and iron, I think my little niche should convey …
For writers, there’s nothing worse than those off days—even off seasons. They’re the ones that Wally Writer and Annie Author rarely talk about because their writing is just too picture-perfect. Everything they create is a masterpiece. Every word they write is beautiful and filled with deep, profound meaning. They don’t often admit mistakes because…well…they just don’t make any! And of course, …
I’m not a big fan of fast food restaurants, but a few years ago I stopped by a hamburger chain for an iced tea and a salad.
