The short answer this morning, is that I can't help it. I am driven to write, whether it is about life or an idea (or story) in my head, and it, this thing that has evolved from nothing, MUST be put down on paper or my brain circles around it, examining all its possibilities, attacking...

Unexpected Gifts
I have been the recipient of several unexpected gifts this week, and it's not even my birthday! The first came from my Bestie in Nevada, who sent me a set of the new, trending, semi-cured gel nail strips plus a UV light, via an Amazon package. I was skeptical at first that they were as...

Choosing the Storyline
I guess it's going to take the flip of a coin or two. I've chosen today as a "writing" day, and now that I am at the place where I create the best, hot tea in hand, I'm trying to decide which of the storylines I want to work on. As I mull over each's... Continue Reading →

For example, the surfaces in my home. There does not seem to be a single surface in my home that is clear and or organized.... Continue Reading →
In Memory of Toby Keith
So, over my first cup of the day, I read the headline about Toby Keith's passing. This news has had me reflecting most of the day - the memories of his songs and the places I first heard them and the people I was with. Noting the fact that he was younger than I am,... Continue Reading →
Elton John – “Your Song”
Today I watched an old Christmas video of Elton John's regression through his life and career, back to his childhood and his first piano. I don't know if that was truly how he rolled into the greatness he is today, but I'd like to think so, and I want to give a nod to my... Continue Reading →
