    • Daily Prompt

      How often do you walk or run? I feel like I’m slowly starting to get into a rhythm with my life again, so I’ve decided to get a little bit of writing in. I don’t walk nearly as much as I want to, but I LOVE to walk. It wasn’t until this past year that…

    • Daily Prompt: What Are You Doing Tonight?

      What are you doing this evening? I don’t do the daily prompts much since Bloganuary ended (in January), but I’ve been feeling like I needed to write since Monday evening and nothing exciting has happened since then. I haven’t even had a “brain blast” about anything in my life. So to answer today’s question…I’m packing…

    • Healing In Grief

      Today I went to the memorial service for Steve (pictured above). He had’t been sick for very long, so it was surprising that it happened so fast. He passed away on Monday and I knew immediately that I was going to be at his memorial service once the time was announced. There are other people…

    • Sitting, Wishing, Waiting

      It’s amazing what happens when I don’t blog for almost a whole week. It’s like a whole week of life happens. Last weekend, my friend Rachel sold her books at SantaCaliGon Days in Independence, Missouri, and I volunteered to be the main helper. It was one of the worst weekends to sell books weather-wise, but…

    • Once In A Rare Blue Moon

      Here in the US, we are having not only a “blue moon” (a full moon that has happened twice in the same calendar month), but it also happens to be a super moon. Which basically means it wears tights and a cape and saves people when no one is watching it. “Moony” never wants to…

    • It’s a “Yes-And” Life for Us!

      It’s been another long month. In this case, it was simply because I was busy from start to finish. To be fair, most of my summers are busier than the rest of the year. Something about June to August, they just happen to be the busiest months… Yesterday was my first anniversary of living without…

    • One Year Ago…

      Of all the things I thought I’d be doing in a year’s time from this time last year… blogging wasn’t one of those things. It’s not that I didn’t like blogging; ever since I was about 16, I’ve had different blogs on different sites. With the introduction of social media in my life, blogging seemed…

    • More Thoughts On A Tuesday

      When I went to bed last night, I had no intention of writing another post that would put two of them on the same date, but here we are. I have three friends who all have published works:L. Beth Campbell…Heather O’Brien…and of course, my friend Rachel Newhouse that I talk about almost every blog post…

    • Emotional Support Friend

      As you can see from the above picture and caption, I just finished downsizing and rearranging my bedroom tonight! I gotta be honest, I really thought I would be able to get away with not moving my desk, but I realized… if the reason I’m doing all of this is to be obedient, then I…

    • The Trouble With Journaling

      A lot of things have happened over the last week to cause me to feel like “now is a good time to write.” And then I came home from my Chicago trip and it felt like the world was falling down around me. I’d like to say I’m okay with a certain amount of stress,…
