Often times I see a piece of paper or my son’s school binder and miss my public school days. I never thought I would as they certainly weren’t easy or fulfilling overall but the days contained some gems I’ll always remember. These jewels included a walk with a friend at lunch that made us late […]
Minute and minute are spelled the same but mean different things. I point this out because of the giggle it gave me to read it when I was gifted a moment to myself. A moment to breath and not be expected to find something or do something. A minute to write. So I opened my […]
In Write Yourself Happy the next topic is to write about something you’re looking forward to. Hard to do when everything is so chaotic and you don’t know what the new normal will look like, or when, yet but I’ll do my best. Just yesterday I thought back to a monthly smoothie date I had […]
Wait for a publisher or self-publish? That will all depend on you and how long you want to wait. Both have perks, all have drawbacks.

Often times people complain they are busy – I admit to saying it way too often myself – because really we all have 24 hours in a day and some people truly make the most of it. Being busy is simply a matter of perspective and priorities and people prove it all the time. Yes, […]
Following your dream and living through passion starts with Baby Steps, as I previously discussed but these steps can so easily start with just 15 minute increments. Most people take longer than that to get to work, wait for a doctor, or their coffee to be ready (total combined through the day) but this small […]
