I have so been busy working on my next novel that I have had little time for anything else lately. Spoiler Alert: this one is going to be the first in a series. Needless to say, there is a lot of pressure when creating a character that will remain interesting over a series of novels….

I Said What I Said.
On Tuesday, the country watched in disbelief as another tragic horror story unfolded before us. In Uvalde, Texas, an 18-year-old shooter charged into Robb Elementary School, armed with an AR-15 assault rifle and opened fire. The massacre lasted upwards of 40 minutes before the shooter was killed by a Border Patrol team and, in his…
Just Say It…
Even though it is less than five months old, 2022 has already brought us so many struggles. With the surge of Omicron in the first two months of the year, COVID’s death toll grew. Gas prices are at a recent high and the economy is struggling. Then, on top of everything else, Putin’s attack on…
Here’s To Us
Before enjoying today’s blog, pour a glass or cup of whatever makes you happy and click on the link below for today’s theme song… It’s been one of those weeks. I hate to put it so bluntly, but it got off to a shitty start for me on Monday. I had a doctor’s appointment for…
Life…Under Construction
I awoke yesterday (my day off) to the sound of loud banging and commotion outside of my house. My insomnia had flared the night before and I had very little sleep. So, as I rolled out of bed half asleep, I started my day with expletives (most were the F-bomb…my personal favorite😊.) I had completely…
It’s The Most Wonderful Time
We are fast approaching the most wonderful time of the year. I bet you think I’m talking about Christmas. No silly! Although Christmas makes my Top 2, I’m talking about HALLOWEEN! That time when the air starts to chill (unless you live in NC) and leaves start to fall. Pumpkins and hay bales with cute…
I’m Still Standing
Many of you may find it interesting to know that most days, I have a theme song playing in my head. Generally, it is a song that pops up on the radio and pings my inner happy for the day. Other times, it is a song that speaks to my inner fighter and inspires me…
“Speak the truth, even if your voice falters”
Three months, six days…ninety-seven days…2,328 hours…139,680 minutes….8,380,800 seconds. That is how long it has been since my friend’s son was murdered. She has grieved every second of every minute of every hour of every day while she waits for justice. His sister has tried to continue on with her life while she grieves the loss…
“If you can’t love yourself…”
Anyone familiar with pop culture can most likely finish this statement made famous by entertainer Rupaul Charles. “If you can’t love yourself, then how in the hell you gonna love somebody else. Can I get an amen up in here?” When you first hear it, it sounds fun and slightly irreverent. Many have said it…
Ignorance is Bliss…What?!?!
Earlier this week, while on a short lunch break, I went with my fam to a local eatery to grab a quick salad before going back to finish the second half of my day. Having only a few choices in the small hamlet in which we live, we settled on a spot that served sandwiches…
