Nothing we make is truly perfect, and that’s what makes it real and human. In a world where technology is advancing at breakneck speed, I believe we should treasure our imperfections and even celebrate them.
May you be intrepid
May you be inspired
I spent countless more hours running outside alone or with my best friends, digging literal holes, pretending with leaves and berries to craft pretend potions, or just climbing any tree I could reasonably scale. And it struck me that my kids have been raised in an entirely different environment.
Slaying Dragons and Imposter Demons
Going somewhat "off grid" for the last two months has made me really slow down and wrestle with my imposter demon. I realized that it's okay if I still haven't figured out the "business" of writing after a decade of paddling through this crazy market. What I'm best at is this. I'll never post a viral TikTok or Instagram and I don't think I really want to. I would rather write books, and write about books, and sometimes share something true and genuine with you.

After such a long hiatus where writing was a struggle, and words came out in trickles, I am now beyond stoked to report the floodgates have opened, y'all. Hallellujah and all that jazz!
Running Up that Hill…Again
It's May 2025 and I'm doing my best to run back up that hill after a year of struggling to stay afloat. I won't bore you with too many pesky details, explanations, or excuses. I moved into a house about this time last year, and it's taken me a solid year to grow accustomed to the new "life as I know it."
Weekly Writerly Witterings ~ M.I.A
Happy Christmas in July everyone! I can't believe I've let this past month slip by without regularly posting, or even giving y'all fair warning. Side Bar: Not to say my ego is so big I imagined y'all waiting eagerly for another WWW that hadn't come 😉 But I thought I would share a bit of... Continue Reading →
How’s Life?
Three weeks ago my life was flip-turned upside down and I'd like to take a minute. Just sit right there. I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called...ah wait a sec. Let's rewind and continue after you check out THIS LINK. Had enough nostalgia? Awesome sauce, let's continue. I would love... Continue Reading →
