As my World Turns

I need to write. I’ve been spending my days editing, developing seminars and presentations, being a calming influence on a hyperly-stressed, about-to-move-back-across-the-country, little brother and gardening, but no writing.

A week of awesome with a side of amazing

This week has been full of stress, anxiety, hope, physical exhaustion, concussion quality boo-boos, dreaded early mornings, taxing late nights… and it’s been wonderful.

Looking for a House-Mate

Spring has sprung, grass is riz (we’ve already moved it three times). Yesterday I began the daunting task of exchanging my winter wardrobe for my summer one. Daunting yes, but the simple act has put a smile on my face.

Authors, Offers and a Contest

It’s spring!

Over the past few days it hasn’t felt like it at all. High winds… cold winds that smelled like snow. They were so fierce that we lost power twice over the Easter weekend. Today is sunny and while not as warm as it was a few weeks ago, we’re heading back in the right direction.
