Dare To Dream?
As winter drags on, we are catching a little break and temperatures are above freezing this week. It’s too early to start seedings but not too early to start garden planning. Yesterday, the hubs and I looked online for another raised garden to add to our front yard. Once it is in place we will…

Why Writing Silly Love Stories Matters
The most important thing to me as I wrote No Gouda Without You was to have a main character who was a cancer survivor. I was tired of reading and watching stories where women died of breast cancer. What about the seventy percent of women who have breast cancer, go through treatment, and then pick…

Working on My Resolutions
I resolved to eat more tacos in 2025. I also resolved to greatly reduce ordering carry out. Tonight’s dinner helped with both of those resolutions. I ate tacos that I made at home.

Reader Goals
Do you set goals as a reader? I enjoy reading goals and challenges, but I find it’s hard to stay motivated as the year goes on. Recently someone said that is understandable as we move from winter to spring and summer. This was a duh! moment for me. It makes so much sense, as the…
