To be honest I was going to skip posting today because I was busy taking care of Tabitha’s dog, working on the Comedy for a Cure auction and other errands. I decided to go for a walk at 5:30 pm instead of writing a post because I have really been enjoying how beautiful it is…
Have I been grumpy?
Apparently I have been grumpy and very uptight according to my sweet husband, Lou. I’m not sure if I totally believe him or not BUT when your significant other of almost 28 years makes a declaration about your mood, I have learned to listen, ponder and consider the thought that he might be right. This…
Did I fail?
Last Saturday was my first official book signing and if you judged the event by the number of books I sold, signed or new people I met, it was a complete and total flop!!! Who showed up? My Family. Tabitha, Trinity, Chandler, Sophia (Trinity’s friend), Grandma Cindy and my best friend Laura. Lou was working…
Are you there God?
If ever there is a time to question one’s faith it’s when tragedy strikes. Over the past few days, I imagine people all over the world have asked God the same question over and over again. “God, why did you let those nine people die in a helicopter crash? Why didn’t you save them? How…
Are you afraid to talk about dying?
This is a very taboo subject but I think about it almost daily when I browse my social media feeds. I don’t consider myself a morose person, but death is something I think about often because it is everywhere. You can’t watch the news, listen to the radio or browse social media without hearing about…
It’s been 5 years since she went to Heaven…
Wednesday, January 15 was the five year anniversary of Tiara’s passing. Every year I do the same thing on January 15. I have the 8:00 am mass said in her honor which I attend, I visit her grave and then I mope around. This year was a little different. I called the church office two…
Why I’m no longer a home stager…
It’s so funny, but I forget you all can’t read my mind. I have been mostly absent from social media and when I posted on facebook yesterday, I was selling my twig decor inventory, I received several messages asking me why. I realized I forgot to tell everyone but my family and close friends what…
Am I the happiest person you know?
Are you wondering why I’m asking you this ridiculous question? This is why: A few weeks ago I was attending a concert in my church because they were unveiling the new organ. Apparently, our old organ was like a 1976 beat-up Toyota and the new organ is similar to a 2020 Porsche and our priest…
And now the real work begins!
I finished the first draft of my book a week ago and I felt so jubilant, I was walking around with a spring in my step and a huge smile. Now I get to start the editing process! I get the feeling that finishing the first draft is just the beginning of the work? I…
I guess I’m close to finishing the first draft….
Lou and I were on a bike ride to the beach the other day when he asked me how far I was along in writing my book. Well, “I was at 230 pages when I was typing it in Word but I just started typing it in Google Docs. I copied it over to Google…
