My Letter to Fear
Based on interviews with women, these essays about life (and all of its funny, sad and ridiculous aspects) were published in 2014.
Favorite Internet Challenges
Question of the day: Do you get caught up in Internet challenges? Okay, if your response was, “What is an Internet challenge?” I feel like you probably don’t dive into them (at least not regularly). I do. In fact, I get very excited about them … for about three minutes. Well, it might be more
So Many Lists
I have this recurring fantasy (not that kind) where I get everything done on my “to do” list. I know some of you are thinking that if I just buckled down, I’d get everything done, but it really isn’t that simple. You see, I have combined my daily task list with my broken/undone “big picture”
A Little Bit of Funny on a Friday
Because it’s Friday, and I think you should have something to help the day go by (and bring on the weekend faster), I’m posting up this short clip of the hilarious Carla Renata reading “Expired” from “My Letter to Fear: Essays on Life, Love and the Search for Prince Charming.” I didn’t know Carla before
Defining “Good” on You
I continue to be intrigued by the wisdom imparted by Jennifer L Scott in “Lessons from Madame Chic.” And I swear I’m not getting paid to write about it – I even ordered this book myself in hard-copy form. You know that I mean business when that happens! Anywhoodle, I came across a passage where
The Food has Spoken!
Now that the Chinese food has spoken, I feel really good about my creative (and financial) prospects in 2015. The project one was actually shared with Andy (there were three fortune cookies, so we shared the last). As he also has projects in progress, we high-fived each other, and decided that these fortunes, above all
Jumping into an Organized 2015
There’s something about coming into a new year that inspires nearly everyone on my social media channels to grab new planners and vow to be more “on top of things” in the new year. This year, I’m jumping onto this bandwagon – though it may have more to do with that “Lessons from Madame Chic”
Book Review: A Rant of Ravens by Christine Goff
Full disclosure: when I was approached about reading and reviewing “A Rant of Ravens” by Christine Goff, I knew absolutely nothing about birdwatching. I knew nothing about that world.

Happy New Year and a Question
Happy New Year! I hope that your New Year’s Eve was only as eventful as you wanted it to be and that you are in no way hung over today. As you go about finalizing your New Year’s Resolutions (or breaking the first ones), I thought I would pose you the question contained in the
My Favorite Things in 2014: Family
I feel like this year really was about family in some new ways, and I thought that it deserved to be #1 on my list of favorite things. First, I got the chance to spend some quality time with many members of Andy’s family. I’ve enjoyed getting to know them, and we’ve had the added
My Favorite Things in 2014: “My Letter to Fear” was Published
If you’ve read this blog for any length of time, I’m sure you could have guessed this one. I was still writing and editing “My Letter to Fear: Essays on Life, Love and the Search for Prince Charming” through 2013, so the notion of it actually being published and available to readers in early 2014
