Better For It To Be Raining

What happens when it rains? Sure, it’s gray outside and could be cold and damp, but the positive is that it cleanses and purifies. Most people complain about the rain, but rain is a life force. It helps crops grow, and wildlife have water in arid climates. For us, here, a summer rain could help […]

And… Action!

I’ve been MIA since my last blog post on April 7th. I had some personal health issues to contend with, but everything is okay, and I’m back. For the last week or so, I could not come up with anything to write about. I thought I had lost my creative writing mojo. Then, my husband […]

How About That? You Can Feel Happy.

Happiness is not a person, place, or thing. It’s a feeling. Walt Disney World is called the happiest place on earth, and when you’re there, you feel happy. Is it that Walt Disney World has some magical powers that cast happiness upon anyone who enters the coveted gates? Maybe, but I think it’s caused mainly […]

Why Do We Do What We Do?

Seriously. I wrote that question down many times, hoping I’d write simple answers that would guide me […]

“Love comes to you when you least expect it. Don’t look for it.” That’s something I heard many years ago. I think from a movie. It makes sense, and it happened to me with my husband. I wasn’t looking for it at that place we met, but I think I attracted it. There was a […]

Scam Alert!

There is a scam going on that’s very dangerous! We’ve got to be on guard and vigilant to this immediately! There’s this thing between our ears on our heads that allows anything from our five senses into it. It’s like a vacuum, sucking in information like the latest and greatest Dyson sweeper. It doesn’t filter […]

What’s In It For Me?

I went to a presentation on the history of organized crime (mafia) in our area. The reason is that I have written a book, At What Price, that has some organized crime in it, and I went there for research and inspiration. During the first speaker’s PowerPoint presentation  (with photos and newspaper clippings), some people […]
