Today is my Day!
Today is my birthday! As tradition, I make a resolution to myself. Last year I decided to take a social media fast for a year. The year of no social media was not easy at first. It got easy fairly quickly. I spent significantly less time scrolling. I allowed myself to go directly to my…

To Cow or not to Cow
What are your feelings about eating meat? I’m not a vegetarian. I like red meat. However, all social and cultural reasons aside, I can’t ignore the proof that not eating animal products saved my mother’s life.

Day 98
What happens when you throw caution to the wind and watch it blow away? Do that thing you have been thinking about forever. Jump off that what if train. Maybe you fall face first in the dirt. Maybe you don’t. One thing I know for sure, if you don’t jump you will never know.

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…

Who are you really?
I am a librarian and an author. I have had a love for books as long as I have memory. I have been told by my parents and grandparents that I could read before I could talk. It may or may not be true. One thing that is true is books and I are interconnected.…
