Hello friends! I’m sooooo sorry for leaving you hanging. But that’s because I’ve been spending my time nanoing as much as I can. Translation: I’ve been writing since the first of this month, transferring the new story in my mind onto Microsoft Word. So far I’ve completed ten chapters, and I’m very close to finishing the eleventh one. TheContinue reading “Writing Update (NaNoWriMo)”

Giving you a heads-up just in case you’re expecting cooking tips and scrumptious recipes. ‘Cause this post has nothing to do with food. Sorry! But what you can expect is a nonfood smorgasbord of words (content). Kay, now that’s outta the way, you may continue if you wish to do so. Which I hope you do! I’ll even addContinue reading “A Dash of This. A Dash of That.”

This past Saturday my husband and I along with our youngest daughter (and a couple of friends) headed downtown for Oktoberfest. And we had SO much fun! It was also empowering－because anxiety and panic didn’t tag along－due to the myriads of people walking up and down the streets that didn’t phase me one bit. I was soContinue reading “Don’t Let Your Kryptonite Stop You!”

Hi friends!  Hope you’re having a good day. Over here, the sky is dark and cloudy. It’s raining and the temperature is cool. Ah…fall is my favorite season. Cozy sweaters and hoodies, quirky socks (ankle or knee high) and, of course, coffee. French Toast Swirl creamer was added to my cup this morning. Yum! Enough about me, though. Let’s continue the dayContinue reading “Falling for Fun: Book Giveaway & More!”

Hi friends!  Hope y’all had a good day. As for me, my day was pretty great. The fall weather made it more delightful. So did my pumpkin spice flavored coffee. Yum!
