There’s something about setting a goal. It feels like running through a shiny red ribbon at the end of a race, while I sport the blood sweat and tears that come with the process. I set my intention on something and then I complete it. But not always. Not every goal I make are completed […]
When it comes to writing, I love the process. Every minute of it, even though from start to finish, the process of writing can be intimidating, and overwhelming, but I think it’s ultimate ride, and I am so lucky to be able to be in the driver’s seat. And it begins like this. An idea […]
Welcome to the wonderful world of writer’s block. Do you ever find yourself staring at a blank screen? Your hands hovering just above the keyboard, stuck in mid-air? Maybe you’re pacing back and forth, burning a path into the floor as you search for the right words. You’re committed to writing something, but either don’t […]
The department store saga means that I’m going to miss shopping with this moose! When the news of the Bay’s potential closure was finally announced, I wasn’t surprised at all.

Maybe a small paragraph. Most times they are published somewhere on the cover, or on the first few pages of the book. It’s […]
My sensational surrender came out of left field – which is to be expected, because who plans life’s hiccups anyway? What surfaced was just what I needed. I just didn’t know it, yet. It started with a tickly throat – then came the fatigue and the aches and pains. I dashed to the stash of […]
The Most Amazing Department Store story did not come out of thin air. I’ll let you in on a little “author secret”. Writers usually steal take material from a personal experience.

Thank you, Kate Spade and a stranger. Last week, the kindness of a stranger and a Kate Spade purse saved my day. Yes, you read that right. Wait until you read about what happened to me at the Newark airport. From where I am standing these days, I have decided that kind, generous and thoughtful […]
