Okay, who all believes that dreams may have a deeper meaning to give insight to the dreamer? *raising my hand* Having said that, I do not believe that events or people or items that one dreams about have the same meaning to all who dream, nor that all dreams come from the One above. The... Continue Reading →
M-E-E: Modify Eating & Exercise
Ah, a new acronym for me: "It's All About M-E-E" - Modify Eating & Exercise So I have a couple of ongoing issues with my health which I've used as an excuse to not exercise nor track my intake, but this last week, thanks to a BUNCH of posts that made it to my FB... Continue Reading →
Writing About Writing – Again…
I write the way I speak, so it's no surprise to me that I can reread something I've written years ago and say, "Oh, that's good!" What came as a surprise to me was that not everybody thought so. Yes, I was that naive, and perhaps I still am. WordPress dynamics sends me 'Blast From... Continue Reading →
Story Shorts – Side Hustle or Procrastination?
My friend used to re-life items she'd find curbside. Her talent lies in this area; she has made some good money by turning old footstools to cat beds, sweaters into Autumn pumpkins, and wooden boxes into storage chests. I'm not very creative when it comes to such things. I have to have gotten an idea... Continue Reading →
Bumblebees and Fishing Poles

My First ‘Wolf Whistle’
Daily writing promptIf you could go back and witness any historical event, which one would you pick?View all responses Okay, so going back historically to receiving my first wolf whistle sounds pretty self-centered, even for me. I mean, after all, who wouldn't want to witness the signing of the Declaration of Independence, or birth of... Continue Reading →
My Way…
There are some that thrive on others' organizational, dietary, workout, and cleaning routines, and I'd even go so far as to add writing styles, but me? I need to do it my way. I may gain some insight and logic into why something works or doesn't, but in the end, I'm stubborn (my mother called... Continue Reading →
If You Had Only One Day Left…
Yesterday's appointment with my heart doctor left me with only a few questions. I feel this guy is totally competent and answered every question I threw at him about my condition, but I reserved a few of them for pondering over with my coffee this morning. They are ones I don't think he'd have the... Continue Reading →
