Ringing In The 2025 New Year and New Goals
Hello and Happy Holidays, Everyone! I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and was able to be with loved ones. I mentioned that this was my first Christmas ever with my sister and, in turn, also her family. This includes my mini-me, whom I miss terribly already (crazy energy and all). It is times like […]
Writer’s Block and How I Do or Do Not Deal – Part 2
This week I’ve been dealing with feeling overwhelmed about which project to work on first. I have several books started, creative writing homework, art projects, and I’m putting together a YouTube channel with my sister. Hair-pulling to follow… I’m thrilled to have so many things to do, but… when I get overwhelmed (even with good […]
Writer’s Block and How I Do or Do Not Deal – Part 1
Writer’s block – the art of turning “not” writing into a sport. Procrastination becomes your companion. Ideas of things to write about become things to do instead. When you are in the grips of Writer’s Block, or as I like to say, you’ve been bitten by the Procrastination bug, you might get caught up in […]
“Creative Sparks: Navigating Feedback and New Ideas”
Great class today! Not that most of my creative writing class time isn’t great—it is—but today I received some feedback on my Dating Die-Sasters novel. One of my classmates gave me some really good feedback, and then my professor shared his thoughts. I’m thrilled that he is okay with me using my book for class […]

I also have to prepare some material for an educational session I’m conducting on… guess when? Saturday. As the Vice President of Education for my Toastmasters club, I will be presenting a new […]
Poetry and Weekly Goals Update
This week has been interesting. I’ve spent a good portion of it questioning myself about a very important decision regarding my health. I’m not ready to elaborate just yet. The rest of the week followed my regular schedule of taking care of the dogs, my Sweetheart, goals, art projects/drawing, and class. Other than health concerns, […]
Highly Recommend!💕
Hello and Wonderful Sunday! This week has sort of flown by. First, with Creative Writing classes on Mondays and Wednesdays, which I am really enjoying. It is a small class of seven, including myself, and various ages. Great ideas blossom in this class, and voices are shared. Our professor is open-minded, interesting to listen to, […]
Embracing Mixed Emotions: Another Health Wake-up Call🌻
Happy Sunday! Quick update before I go into my mixed emotions story. I have managed to keep all my goals for this quarter, even when I didn’t feel well, was traveling, or just not into doing them. So far, I am the only one in the group that has not missed any. Although two of […]
Class In Session: Back To School!🚌
Happy Wednesday! If you’ve read any of my posts in the last few weeks, you may remember that I signed up for a few classes at the local community college. I’m already a subscriber to SkillShare, Udemy, EdX, and any informational learning I can find on YouTube. So why did I sign up for classes […]
