I recently had some new windows installed in my home. They are lovely and energy-efficient portals to the busy county road outside my domicile. Everything would have gone well with the installation except that the gentleman that measured them weeks ago made some...

We live in an age of information and idolatry overload, and we have become gluttons to sensory and tangible fulfillment. If the internet sites don’t satisfy us with news, tweets, and memes, then endless hours of TV can always fill the gap. Gone are the days when the...

I like to think of myself as well-informed. I try to learn new things, read a lot, and keep up with many industries. I will admit that I am not an expert in all fields. When I need to make major decisions in those areas, I ask someone for help. Calling a mechanic when...

I have a little bit of traveling coming up, but I need to stay on top of my scheduled tasks. Posts and books don’t write themselves, and someone has to pay the bills (it’s really my hubby). Unfortunately, it is difficult to get much work done when the sun is shining,...

There are days that I wake up complaining. Lately, I have been griping about pain and stiffness in my joints since my injury back in December of 2018. Other times I don’t like the way others drive or how slow my internet connection is. I’m not always a pessimist, and...

Today’s fortune is one of those vague ones that are supposed to give the reader a little hope. Most of the time, I disregard these types of prognostications, but today I held it in my hand and took it to heart. I recently finished editing my latest young adult novel,...
