Rediscovered Passions

I dream that someday I’ll finish my novels and become a published, world-renowned fiction author. But I keep tweaking that dream a little all the time, because at times I think I’d settle for just being published.
Or for just finishing a manuscript.

The one thing that’s consistent in my dream is my passion for writing, something that I love. 

A New Year’s Spending Challenge

I need you to use your imagination… (I’d instruct you to also close your eyes but then you wouldn’t be able to read what I’m writing, now would you?)

$86,400.00

Let’s imagine that there was a game to be played in which every morning your bank deposited $86,400 into your private account for you to use however you wanted.

Alright, sounds good right? However, just like any game, this one has certain rules.

Christmas Greetings

I don’t have a lot of time (like anyone ever has any excess time?), but I wanted to take a moment to tell you all Merry Christmas and to share a little holiday blessing with you. We all get so caught up in the season that we sometimes forget the true reason for the season. I’m guilty of that, as much as the next person is. However, for the next few minutes, I’m going to take the time to remember that December 25th is to celebrate the birthday of our savior.

The Joys of Spell Check

Some days, spell check is my best friend in the whole world. And then, on other days, I just don’t think it likes me very well.

I’ll openly admit that I am not the greatest speller. All the time growing up, I thought there would come a magical moment – possibly the day I turned 15? – that I would suddenly just know how to spell things… that and how to do multiplication. I could always recognize those ah ha! and light bulb moments when they occurred – the same that any child experiences during their education. Why would spelling be any different?
