This is a tale you might have heard before or maybe experienced for yourself. But, today, it will be told again. By me! Today, in the mail, I received my copies of the poetry anthology in which I have a poem! Yes! I am published. The book’s birthday (who knew books had birthdays?) was actually…
Primarily, my inspiration for creating jewelry or poetry comes from three places. Color, travel, and nature are my biggest influences when I create with beads or words. I have just recently returned from an 11 day trip to some of our National Parks, including Arches, the Grand Canyon, Saguaro, and the Petrified Forest. What better…
For most, Labor Day means a day off of work and the unofficial end of summer. For me, it is a reminder of two of my life’s blessings (there are four, actually). Twenty-seven years ago on Labor Day, I labored, truly. I woke up early, feeling the twinges of pain one’s body sends when it…

There are many ideas running through my head this Friday morning. But, none seem worth writing about. It’s been a busy week. We’ve seen several people we haven’t seen in a year or more. I had lunch out with a friend yesterday. Then, I used the afternoon to pot up some of my annuals and…
I should definitely not be writing this post. I love candy and always have. As I’ve aged, I’ve realized that candy is an “empty” food, which means one that does not have any nutritional value. Still, I’m very much attracted to a sweet treat. I remember being “in charge” of my sister, two years my…
Slowly, we are returning to normal. In the last month, we have eaten in a restaurant three times. Two of these times were just my husband and I at a higher end fast food place. But, Thursday, we went out to dinner with our youngest son, his girlfriend, and her parents. This took place at…
