Blog postHubs and I went to spend some time with my momma this weekend. I felt bad having to leave her on Mother’s Day morning. But we live about five hours away, and our son wanted to bring his family to visit us. So, off we drove. My main consoling thought was that my two youngest sisters would be visiting later; one already on her way. Plus, my mom always has an abundance of visitors. And so, I was delighted later in the day to receive photos from my youngest sister, who always brings the cake. It

Blog postLate last month, my computer at work ended up with the dreaded Blue Screen of Death. Yes, that awful sideways unhappy face. I’m not sure what is worse, the unsmiling face or the blue screen. It occurred when a Microsoft update, already flagged for having issues, slipped through our IT safety measures and updated anyway.
The update had to do with printers/printing, and several other co-workers in the office had already had their turn with this dreaded blue screen. I was busily training -
Blog postSo often we spend our lives searching for something else, something better, than where we are at. We work our whole lives to get to that dream in the distant future. And then, before we know it, here it is. Life has time-warped ahead, and here we are right dab in the middle of making happen what we have been dreaming about for years.
As I type, hubs and I are right in the middle of that major life change. We are making the transition from our current home to our retirement homeplace. -

Blog postMarriage Is An Adventure Living the married life, for me, is a true adventure and more so lately. Hubs and I are between homes, moving from one we’ve been at for over nineteen years and our soon-to-be place of retirement. This includes still working at our full-time jobs for a few more months, several trips back and forth on the weekends, a puppy, and gardens to tend at each location. And it includes me finding a new full-time job and continuing to write and market my books.
When we -
Blog postLast month I named the title of this blog post without fully knowing the guts of it. I usually have a good idea of what the post will be about and keep it close in thought. However, a lot has happened in the last month to affect my thinking on the topic. A more appropriate title might be “Writing With Integrity.” But I will stick with the original title and see how it goes.
I have found throughout my life, in my personal and work relationships, that communicating honestly and effectiv -
Blog postLast month I blogged about how acceptance of self is important and a good thing. Today’s blog post is on how being too accepting can be a bad thing. There are many ways to be accepting or not to be accepting, and either way can be good, or not so good, depending on the subject matter.
Acceptance of what we cannot control helps our stress levels and allows us to focus on what we can change. However, accepting situations – in which we can make a difference – and turning a blind eye can -

Blog postOriginally, I had planned on sharing with you today about how to get familiar with your favorite social media application or platform. But after some thought, I have decided to put this topic off for a later date. Instead, I want to share with you about what I have learned in the last few weeks between the snowstorm that made it virtually impossible for many to communicate with loved ones, my pending last day at my current day job and the training I am doing for those training in the position

Blog postIn my last blog on marriage, you might have gotten the impression that I was obsessed with getting married way back when. Far from it. I had actually pretty much given up on meeting the man of my dreams, or someone who might hold my attention for the rest of my life, by the time I met my now husband. I had been dating for a few years; but after several disappointing dates and relationships, I had decided that being single might be the life that was meant for me.
It was difficult to tu -

Blog postDo you know what happens when we tell a little white lie? That is, besides the rise in blood pressure and the “looking over your shoulder” part?
Is telling a little white lie as harmless as it seems? And are little white lies okay some of the time or not at all? Or does it depend on the circumstances?
When is a little white lie considered a necessary lie? What is meant by a necessary lie? This phrase was a new one for me, so if you don’t know that’s okay.
These are all -
Blog postI’ve been thinking about acceptance a lot lately. Perhaps this is due to all the reports of bias and prejudice in the news or, simply, because I know this is the topic of my blog this weekend. Either way, I have decided that, if I’m going to speak and share about acceptance, I need to be transparent about my own struggle of self-acceptance over the years.
Now that I am getting familiar with the writing life and being in the social media world, I started questioning myself. Why didn’t -
