I had another post planned for this week, but I procrastinated on my research. Good thing because something fantastic happened to me today I thought I’d write about. My toddler, online known as the CLK (Cute Little Kiddo), had an early morning. Teething woke her, and despite my attempts at comforting/bribing/consoling her with food/cartoons/cuddles, she […]
Browsing Posts in Fantastic Friday
Chocolate. Hummus. Stay with me, here. I didn’t know this was a thing. I really wanted to write about the 75-degree weather for this week’s Fantastic Friday post. In fact, the reason I’m late (posting this on Sunday instead of Friday) is that I was out enjoying the unseasonable weather while it lasted. Today is […]
I’m a bit too far south and just missed the most recent snow, but several states enjoyed a snow day yesterday. If you’d read any of my snow-related posts (like The Great Snow Nightmare or several posts inspired by the blizzard birth of my daughter), you’ll know I’m not a huge fan of the cold […]
The novel Dandelion Wine is one of my favorite novels by my favorite author, Ray Bradbury. The moment that stands out to me is the moment when a main character realizes he is alive. It’s not that there’s anything particular about the day—it’s just that the character realizes he is human, he is alive, and […]
So, of course my “to be read” (TBR) pile is still high, but I couldn’t help asking for just a few books this holiday. For today’s Fantastic Friday, I want to share the new additions to my TBR pile (and explain what I’m excited about). Pre-baby, my goal was to read one book per week. […]
I’m excited to announce the official release of my latest novel, The Man with the Crystal Ankh. It’s about a high school student who discovers a hidden talent while playing the violin: by letting her mind relax with her music, she opens herself to be contacted by the troubled spirit of a late, beloved custodian […]
A few years ago, I went on a trip to Sedona, Arizona. We went for the hiking, but the location attracts many people in search of spiritual guidance and is a beacon of “New Age” trends. As a result, we encountered many brochures about spiritual journeys. One of those was a promise to help one […]
I forgot to post this on Friday, so please excuse the tardiness. After a long weekend of visiting family, I wanted to highlight the simple joys of being together. As an introvert, I can’t help but admit my desire for solitude. But family—blood or adopted—provides a level of comfort that comforts even an introvert. Whether […]
Despite the negativity floating around the Internet after the presidential election, I am glad to see so many people celebrating “Thirty Days of Thankful.” The point is to use the month of November to recognize thirty things we are thankful for. It’s so easy to take our lives for granted, and although negativity and positivity […]
Anyone who knows me, knows that I am a Back to the Future fan. Last year, I dressed up like Marty McFly, since he (in 1985) travels forward in time, arriving on October 15, 2015. Along with celebrating “Back to the Future” Day in October of last year (and seeing the film in a theatre, […]
