Celebrate the Small Things 

It’s Friday again and another week has past. It’s time to celebrate. This week I’m celebrating typing The End to a novel draft, the chance to spend time with family, and some rare good weather apart from the heat and rain. In between the occasional thunderstorm and 90+ temps it’s been super pleasant. I have […]

Celebrate the Small Things

It’s Friday and that means it’s time to Celebrate the Small Things. This week, I’m trying really hard to stay positive and it’s been hard. I’ve been listening to Kill ‘Em With Kindness, a Selena Gomez song, on replay, and reading A Course in Miracles and Marianne Williamson’s commentary on the same. Negativity is so […]

Celebrate the Small Things

This is my weekly blog post for Celebrate the Small Things. I have to be honest, with recent events, I’m finding it hard to celebrate. I’m not sure why but the attack on Nice is especially unsettling to me. I can’t even fathom it. So, I want to pause for just a second and pray […]

Celebrate the Small Things

This is Friday and that means it is time to Celebrate the Small Things, as part of a weekly blog hop led by Lexa Cain. This week, I have to be honest – I am exhausted. Between the 4th of July and my birthday and a couple other things I’m just simply wrung out – […]

Celebrate the Small Things

It’s Friday, and that means time for another post of Celebrate the Small Things. This week, I’m celebrating some gorgeous weather, lots of writing done and writing goals met, and starting July Camp NaNoWriMo – and the second book in a planned trilogy. Still rocking this great Twitter writing group too, and seriously it is […]

Celebrate the Small Things

So, it’s Friday, the day when we get together and share the good things that have happened. I got paint. From a really nice guy who works at Home Depot. I even did the survey thing because I wanted to say how awesome. Now I just have to use the paint to paint the top […]

Celebrate the Small Things

Okay it’s been a month since I’ve posted so I feel like Celebrate the Small Things Friday is more like an entire month. My dad turned 80 and we had a lovely surprise party. He also has received a completely unsolicited offer for our childhood home which is a bittersweet blessing because it is time […]

IWSG: Antagonism

It’s June and the first Wednesday of June and that means it is time to post for the Insecure Writer’s Support Group, where once a month we get together to share our insecurities, our successes, and generally help share the burden of the writing life. This past month has been a bit crazy. I had […]

IWSG: May the 4th Be With You!

AND Happy IWSG Day AND Happy Star Wars Day! Today is also Jane Jacobs and my mother’s birthday. (I only knew the first one because of Google.) Today is also a day for me to celebrate those who made it through the A-Z Challenge and all the inspiration I got personally from that great communal […]

Celebrate the Small Things

I’ve had a super-productive week writing-wise. I decided mid-month to enter CampNaNoWriMo to give me that extra shove to finish off a novel draft, which I just did. I managed to do posts for the A-Z Challenge (though I didn’t spend as much time I wanted to.) And now that I’m feeling all creative I’m […]
