Do you follow your intuition or are you Living Red?
I wrote this book over the last few years, and published it in November 2020. There are so many thoughts and feelings in it that resonate with the world I am living in today with the impact of the pandemic and the systemic racism. I am including the description and a short excerpt. It is... Read more »
Is binge-watching bad?
Although I had so many things that I needed to accomplish this weekend, I spent it watching Netflix, mostly binge-watching season one of Ginny and Georgia. Although no one seems to call it binge-reading, I do this with books also. Other than the obvious reason to be entertained by a good story, why else do I... Read more »
Dreams, goals, and wishes
Dreams, goals, and wishes… I think that the pandemic has impacted my desire to live life to the fullest. I decided years ago that I would live a regret-free life, so the older I get, the more I strive to make my dreams come true. I posed this question on Facebook, “If you could accomplish... Read more »

Did you jump or tiptoe into 2021?
January is always a time for reflection and goal setting for me, and many others, but this year more than ever before seems to be challenging. I can speculate, but no one really knows what this year has in store for each of us. We never really do, although, other years made it easier to... Read more »
Who Uses Online Dating Apps?
When I was younger, I met friends and romantic partners through school and work. When my last long relationship ended in 2014, I worked in a predominately female field and was no longer going to high school or college, so I wondered how to find people to date? After meeting a couple of people at... Read more »
“What is my purpose for writing books?”
My new book called Living Red is out! The journey has been challenging; however, my third book was published this month. When I self-published the non-fiction book, Fun4Babies, in 2013, I worked with infants and in the Early Childhood Education field so the process of promoting and selling it was a wonderful experience. Right after... Read more »

Masks DO work
This pandemic is scary. When precautions started in March, I was lucky because I could work from home. At first, I didn’t go anywhere except the grocery store and began wearing a mask when I went. Over these last few months, I have seen family and close friends outside from a distance with masks on.... Read more »
Time is flying by
While I was out for my walk today, I realized that autumn has clearly arrived. I knew it was coming, but this past week has really brought some changes. The evening air felt cool, and the yearly transformation of the leaves has truly begun. The last time that I looked, it was March. I am not... Read more »
Stay healthy
Are you focusing on your health and well-being? It is surprising to me that it has been 6 months since we began social distancing practices due to COVID-19. Time has flown by, and I am shocked that it is almost the first day of fall already. I have attended my fair share of zoom workshops... Read more »

Are you struggling too?
What are you struggling to do during the pandemic? At first I had a hard time eating healthy; I just wanted to eat anything and everything. I read that some people are also drinking a little too much. I even heard that others are having a difficult time reading books and focusing. I definitely don’t... Read more »
