Or more appropriately: That letter B is cursed! I’ve had a heckuva couple days, and I’m blaming it all in the letter B. Take note: Sunday morning I loaded up the car to take Owen to the dog Beach, and on the way I hit a Baby Bird. I’m talking POOF! Feathers everywhere. After a …

Creative Stuff
Writing has dominated my posts lately (which is ironic considering I’ve barely written a word this year) but I’ve been busy doing other stuff, too. First, I have a new blog header! Y’all on readers, come take a peek. I hated the previous one because I flipped the picture and I could never get used …
Just Do It
There’s a saying: “You know what you call people who wait until the right time to have kids? Childless.” This particular saying doesn’t apply to me, but the thought behind it does. All too often (always) I have ideas for things I’d like to do, but rather than take the initiative to just do it, …
Determining Your Self-Worth
Do you know your self-worth? I’m not talking about how much you make, what you have saved, or how many things you own. I mean what value you as a person bring to the table—be it the conference table, referee’s table, or kitchen table. Some struggle more than others to figure out what that is, …
Summer ‘ku
Thoughts from a late night perusing friends’ friends lists and other posts on Facebook… Freakfest on Facebook. Spray tans + protein, oh why did I give you up? … My long-ago crush has a toddler named Owen. The universe speaks! … Oh vague status posts… If only you intrigued me as your poster planned. … …
Getting Out of Your Head
I watched The King’s Speech with Colin Firth last night and the techniques used to help Bertie overcome his stammering got me thinking: most of the hang-ups we face, the things that prevent us from accomplishing what we want or make us think we aren’t good enough—they’re all in our head. At some point someone, …
Aim High
Phew! I needed that break. I hope you all had as nice a long weekend as I did. I went an entire THREE DAYS without turning on my computer, and aside from a farmer’s tan that would put an actual farmer to shame, it was fabulous. Sunday I played 2-on-2 volleyball with a group of …
The Second Day of the Rest of Your Life
*looks around* Everyone still here? Good. With all this talk of doomsday and questions of what you’d do if the world WERE about to end, I can’t help but look at this as a chance for renewal. A time for reflection and maybe a couple resolutions (if I believed in that sort of thing.) I …
Reliving My Yout.
In one week I’ll be doing something that’s brought up ALL KINDS of memories from my early teenage years. I’m claiming it’s research for my next book, but really I’m just geeked to be a part of it. Any guesses what it is? (If you already know, please don’t say until it’s guessed.) Do you …
Spring in Michigan is Pretty
Word on the street is we may even get summer for two weeks! And finally, my new favorite part of spring: What’s your favorite part of spring?
