MONDAY MEANDERINGS #9

Hello, everyone! Boy, do I have a lot to meander about today. Are you shocked? Here in the south, fruit trees are starting to bud out. I think winter is over. We may have another cold spell but no more winter. Spring is a time of renewal and that is fitting for my newly designed …

Celebrating the Win!

Hello, friends!! Did you miss me like I missed you? I'm not going to go into great detail, but I will say with JOY I finally have a website minus Elementor and fully WordPress once again! It has not been easy and my hat is off to the web designer who tackled this chore. She …

WEDNESDAY WORDS

Greetings, friends! I'm glad you're here. Everyone who knows me knows I have a tendency to over-commit, to have grandiose plans, to think I am Super Woman and can do it all. I've always tried to do it all. Then reality comes crashing in. The word today is "WRESTLE." And that's what I find myself …

MONDAY MEANDERINGS #7 2026

Hello, friends. I'm late with this post, but I'm still not 100% well and moving a little slow. And you know what? That's okay. The world will not stop turning. I spent the entire last week in bed with what I think was the flu. I didn't go to the doctor because I know it …

No Friday Focus on Friday 13th

A pair of glasses bringing a blurred scene into focus.
Hello, friends. That's right. There is no Friday Focus this week. I got home from work Tuesday evening, knowing I was getting sick and it got worse from there. I wound up sleeping for twenty-four hours and woke up feeling like I'd been run over by a train. So, needless to say, I've missed everything …

Wednesday Words #6

Welcome back for another deep dive into a 'W' word! I love today's word. It immediately brings to mind pride. The word is WORKMANSHIP. It also makes me think of Dan Antion and his wood-working skills. Then there is this tarot card that depicts workmanship. I love creating characters who take pride in their work …

MONDAY MEANDERINGS #6

It's Valentine's Day week. I love everything to do with love and not just on Valentine's Day, but if you have someone special to share it with, enjoy! It's Monday again, already. 🙂 I won't even say it. I was meandering through my own mind and found myself wondering why I have a strong tendency …
