Fourth Rule of Social Media
Love does not come from a screen, it comes from real people. Yes, you got more likes today! That is great! You may think that people love you. No, they love your words, humor, and ideas. You are not what you post. See rule number three. Do not tie so much of your emotions up…

Procrastination Can Be Helpful
My husband is the adult in the house who cooks. I can cook and I am good at it. He is better. I bake, so cookies cakes and pies are my thing and he cooks most meals. I had to step away from writing. I am going through a bit of a writer’s block. I…

Ain’t Nothing But a Thing
Aw, did that person yell at you? Ain’t nothing but a thing. Why are you laughing? Ok, I admit that is a funny way to start a conversation. Hear me out. If someone says something mean to you, is it really about you? It very well might be about them. Maybe they snap at you…
