In my current devotional study I’m learning more about abundance and expectancy. I’m learning how different those two states of being are than I thought they were. I’m learning they go hand in hand. My meditation this week is John 10:10 The thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy; I have come that they… Continue reading Abundance

2019
Here we are two and a half weeks into 2019. How does time go so fast? Working on personal goals and development this year. More about that in another post. I just wanted to say that I’m still here. LOL! I had honestly planned to just let blogging go for good since I’m clearly not… Continue reading 2019
Wrap Rings and Chainmaille
Creativity is a weird thing. A very weird thing. It doesn’t care if you’re happy, sad, sick, well, hungry, or full. I came home from work Friday struggling with a serious head cold. Mixed myself a vitamin C-zinc drink, took some nighttime cold medicine and went to bed. Saturday I felt a little better, but… Continue reading Wrap Rings and Chainmaille
The Slow Road or Adjusting on the Fly to a More Realistic Goal
So on October 2 I started out on the #FirstDraft60 challenge started by Kaye. You can check it all out on her blog. The planning month went okay-I wasn’t too far behind, really. But when Kaye and I met for our weekly writing session last Thursday we both admitted that neither of us was comfortable… Continue reading The Slow Road or Adjusting on the Fly to a More Realistic Goal
Sunday Round Up and Goals for Next Week
Last week was mostly a bust. At least after Wednesday. I did meet my word count goal of 4k words by bedtime Tuesday. I actually had over 5k! I did blog three days. But on the work out front? Big old fail. I did do my back PT exercises one day and about five minutes… Continue reading Sunday Round Up and Goals for Next Week

Just so we can get off on the right foot together I’ll share some of them with you. To be clear, 2014, you’re my year of returns. Here’s what that means to me.… Continue reading Returns
Writing Prompts
Do you use writing prompts? I love them for creative exercise. Here’s a fun one I copied directly from Poets & Writer’s email newsletter: Choose three people who you know well and write a detailed character description of each one. Now change the gender, name, and a few physical traits of each one. Begin a… Continue reading Writing Prompts
Ahhh…A Clean Desk
I spent the better part of two hours going through the clutter hiding the top of my desk. Wow! What a difference just a tiny bit of organization makes in my outlook. I can now work in that space. I also cleaned and organized my computer desk. Looking at my nice, organized writing space makes… Continue reading Ahhh…A Clean Desk
Contemplations of Purpose
In Walking on Water, Madeleine L’Engle writes: To serve should be a privilege, and it is to our shame that we tend to think of it as a burden, something to do if you’re not fit for anything better or higher. Later in the same chapter: When the artist is truly the servant of the… Continue reading Contemplations of Purpose
Manipulating My Muse
In the introduction of MAKING A LITERARY LIFE, Carolyn See advises “a discipline of a thousand words a day, five days a week.” What does she mean “discipline?” Isn’t writing all creative and ethereal? In the early days of my dream of a writing career I developed the idea that writing, like all art, must… Continue reading Manipulating My Muse
