    Peace for a Time

    What brings you peace? Simple things…sitting next to my husband holding his hand or listening to his voice. Reading. Watching the rain. Petting my sleeping puppy. Counting stitches a I watch the needle go in and out of my embroidery fabric. Sitting in a room with silence. These things bring me peace, just not all…

  • I’m Curious about Everything

    I’m Curious about Everything

    What are you curious about? I have always wanted to know the why of things. Maybe that is what led me to become a reference librarian and writer. I will research something for days, weeks even. Sometimes just so I can find out that it is a real thing. Life and humans are so much…

  • Do you write?

    Do you write?

    If you are an author you need an editor. As indie authors my husband and I rely heavily on a good editor. Just read over my posts that I have edited myself…see? Told you. We writers have this illusion that we can write and edit our own work. Maybe some writers are that good. Most…

    Who Me? Part 2

    How would you describe yourself to someone who can’t see you? I would tell them how amazing I am. 🙂 Then I would read them my previous post titled “Who Me?” That should do it. Light & Love, Lori

  • Traditions are Relative

    Traditions are Relative

    What traditions have you not kept that your parents had? We had very few classic traditions in my family. We had traditional holiday traditions and those I kept for the most part. There are only two things that I can think of and they aren’t really traditions, but rather expectations. My mom makes her bed…

    What is typical?

    Was today typical? No day is typical. I’m not even sure what that would look like. To be honest, I like my days to be busy and different. With a house full of teenagers and my day job, there is no such thing as typical. What is typical? Love & Light, Lori

  • Who Me?

    Who Me?

    How would you describe yourself to someone? I am a story teller, a dreamer, a Christian, Bibliophile, and D20 roller. I adore dogs, octopuses and hippopotamuses. I’m always just waiting on The Doctor. I’m light and happy. I love humanity, but trust few humans. I have a nonnegotiable faith in God. My work ethic is…

    Anywhere but here…

    If you won two free plane tickets, where would you go? I love to travel and right now if I could I’d hop on a plane to anywhere. Don’t misunderstand, I also love my life, but with all that is happening around me, I need a rest. Sometimes I just want to fly away from…

  • The Map of Enough

    The Map of Enough

    This book wonderfully written is an interesting look at one woman’s struggle to find her place in history. It makes you think about why we attribute so much to where we were raised and where we are from when establishing ourselves as adults. Molly and her soon to be husband Chris move to Montana on…
