So let’s just have a little fun today. I found this quote and made the graphic to go along with it. And then I was writing a post about age … and how we celebrate our age early on in life and then we deny how old we are later on in life. And then I deleted all of that. …
I can set my mind to imagining quite a lot of different things. I can imagine what someone might be thinking about me … Or what someone might be saying about me behind my back. These kinds of imaginings are never positive. I almost always assume the worst. And sometimes, well, my imagnings have been confirmed. Someone doesn’t like me. …
Some days are tougher than others. Some days are disappointng. Some days seem unending. Some days are heart-wrenching. And yet … is it possible to somehow, someway, discover good in those tough, disappointing, unending, heart-wrenching days? If we choose to look for the best — yes. If we choose, as Emerson says, to “write it on your heart that every …
So here’s the question: Who do you show up for? Another question: How do you show up for the people you love? One more question for today: Who taught you the importance of showing up? And that’s all I’ve got for today. As my friend, Mary, said this morning when I told her I’d pushed SEND on my manuscript: “You …

In my life, Julie Andrew’s truth of “Unfortunately something always has to go by the wayside” translates into “You can’t do it all.” I’ve watched other people juggle multiple major tasks — and I used to …
Y’all know I’ve switched sides several times on the glass half empty vs. glass half full debate. I’ve gone from seeing the glass half empty to seeing the glass half full. Then I embraced a friend’s comment: There’s always something in the glass. Loved that perspective. Still do. But today I’m believing the truth that the glass is always refillable. …
I was in New York City this time last week, attending the annual Romance Writers of America (RWA) conference. It was quite the gathering, with something like 2500 attendees … workshops … and lots of networking opportunities.One memory that lingers: The “smart” elevators. You punched the floor that you wanted to go to into a main console. You were then directed …
It’s almost impossible to get through the day without being told at least one way to take care of yourself. Eat more fruits and veggies. Drink more water. Exercise more. Sleep more. Work smarter. Be kinder. Watch less TV. You could probably make your own list of ways you are taking care of yourself — or ways you want to …
With apologies to you, my friends, for not posting a blog on Tuesday … I flew to New York for RWA (Romance Writers of America) — a ginormous writers conference.
