Where do you feel happy? And if you found such a place, how often would you make every effort to go there? This would be a place where you would feel loved and worthy and safe and engaged in life. No boredom there. No hard testing. Except, of course, some of us are happiest when faced with challenges that we …
You know you live in the boonies when the only tracks on your road are from the mailman’s car. You know their slogan. Neither rain nor snow, nor sleet nor dark of night or something like that will delay the mail. There have been a few times the mailman didn’t make it back our road, but most of the time …
–Live in the sunshine – that’s a phrase out of a song the Patriot Quartet sang last night at their homecoming that so caught my imagination I put it on my Facebook page and now I’m putting it here. What great advice! Live in the sunshine of hope and joy and leave behind the shadows of doubts and fear. –Today …
Yesterday was Derby Day, and here in Kentucky that’s almost like a national holiday. I’ve heard it said that every Kentuckian should attend at least one Derby, but I know a lot of us that haven’t and probably never will except via television. They do some great coverage on t.v. which is fine by me. I can’t imagine being out …
Hi everybody. How do you like my new look? On the blog page, that is. I was tired of that brown wallpaper. You’re probably thinking that’s just like a woman to want to rearrange furniture. Not me. I set a piece of furniture down it stays there forever unless I’m having company and have to move it to clean the …
It’s been a strange winter for writing. You’d think winter time would be the best time for writing. No sunshine to beckon you outdoors to put your hands in the dirt and plant something. No Spring Fever to make you want to go fishing or clean something like windows. Unfortunately those are two fevers I never get. I’ve been fishing …
Why do you write? That’s a question that has popped up in my life from time to time. What makes one person want to write everything down and another hate to write a two line thank you letter? I suppose it’s because we’re all wired differently. Some for writing. Some for dancing. Some for singing. Some for a thousand other …
Hi everybody. I’m a little early this weekend, but Sunday promises to be busy. Besides catching up my blog is a good excuse not to be peeling apples the way I should be doing. That wind last weekend blew bushels off my trees. I sneaked over to my neighbor’s house and left a box full on her porch. I’m thinking …
Well, it’s Monday again. Time to post some of my journal thoughts. Because I’ve been thinking about how I need to learn more about publicity and how to connect with readers, I’ll start out today with this little poem I came across in a quote book a few months back. It’s an old one by Sir William S. Gilbert. If …
January is speeding along. I’m busy working on edits for my novel, The Outsider, that is scheduled for publication in August. It’s a bit of a departure from my Hollyhill books and is more the traditional historical romance. My Hollyhill books are family dramas with lots of different characters while in The Outsider the story centers around the heroine and …
