From Stormy Skies to Inspiring Minds
Happy April! First, I’d like to start by saying that I hope everyone dealing with storms this week is safe. I know some may have lost property, which is devastating in itself—but lives are definitely more important (both animal and human). Prayers for everyone and their safety. Thursday morning, the school trip to Oxford, MS, […]
Gathering Inspiration: A Journey to the Literary Festival
Hello and Happy Wednesday! This week has been a bit off for me. I missed both of my painting classes due to a stomach issue, though I did manage to do some painting at home. I’m also trying to pack for my trip. The Southern Literary Festival is this week, and the creative writing classes […]
Finding Happiness in Life’s Simple Moments 💝
Are you easily entertained? Can you find joy in simple things? When given a gift—no matter what it is—are you happy about it? The reason I ask is that the other day, on one of our walks around the block, I found a rock. After taking a few steps past it, I went back and […]
Brushing Off the Dust: Rekindling My Love for Painting🎨🖌️
Today was a fun-filled day! I’m auditing painting classes at Motlow Community College, trying to reignite my love of painting. Some of you may know I received my Associate of Arts from Motlow Community College three years ago. I enjoyed my painting class then, but after I graduated, I dove into improving my drawing skills.

The Power of Perseverance: Celebrating a Friend’s Victory and the Joy of Cheering for Others
Today is a day of gratefulness. Not that I’m not grateful each day—I am—but today is a little extra special because of yesterday. Yesterday was our Toastmasters Division Contest. Our club had three members competing—two in Table Topics and one in the International Speech contest. First- and second-place winners will move on to the […]
Headaches, Deadlines, and a Dash of Chaos
Isn’t it crazy how something like a headache can botch your plans? I’ve had a headache for a few days, and I even forgot to write my blog yesterday. Argggggggg! Luckily, I did work on Dangerous Desires. I think it’s really coming along, and I’m still shooting for mid-to-late April for editing, with plans to […]
Creative Brews & Tasty Moods: A Writer’s Blend
It’s Sunday afternoon, and we are at our local coffee shop. My Sweetheart is doing his thing on the other side of the table while I sit and write, listening to a paranormal YouTube channel. Yes, I like to listen to various things while I write, draw, or paint. I either have a Jane Austen […]
Beware the Rabbit Hole: Procrastination at Its Finest
I’ve been down a rabbit hole most of the day today—watching everything from funny animal videos to paranormal stories, positive affirmations, disasters, and so much more. I allowed myself to fall into the quicksand trap of mindless videos. It wouldn’t be so bad, except I have goals and a deadline to meet. Spending several hours […]
An Inspiring Weekend at the Spine Bookshop Author Con (And A Sneak Peek)!🫣
Hello and Happy Sunday! This was the weekend of the Spine Bookshop’s First Annual Author Con. They had panels set up covering various topics such as diversity, LGBTQ+, banned books, and more. There was an assortment of authors, D&D (Dungeons & Dragons) items, baked goods, and jewelry. I’ve made some really good connections, including some […]
