Monday Meanderings #32

Happy Monday, and the last Monday in October! It appears the only consistent day I can blog is Mondays. I keep thinking I should do more and then before I know it, the week is gone. Last week was nothing more than a blur. I'm not sure I took the time to take a breath, …

Monday Meanderings #30

Happy Monday! It's definitely pumpkin season. They are everywhere. It's been another busy week, but aren't they all? However, my daughter and family are going to be taking a short trip for a few days as the girls are out of school on fall break. I will be staying here, so am hoping to get …

MONDAY MEANDERINGS #28

Hello, friends! It's Monday again. Since I missed the regular Monday post last week, there's lots to catch up on. Let's dive in! In the last Monday Meanderings, I stated I was asking for my rights back from the publisher for The White Rune Series. They almost instantly replied with confirmation, reverting the rights back …

Monday Meanderings #26 #LaborDay

Hello, friends. I almost didn't put up a post today, but had two reasons for doing so. Anyway, here it is September 1st! That means my favorite season of the year is just around the corner! You may remember my last Monday post where I shared the sad news of the passing of a good …

Monday Meanderings #25

Greetings, friends. I'm glad you've joined me for another meandering. First off, the good news. I got a new part-time job which I start today. It is at a local metaphysical store, The Mindful Mermaid, and I will be helping with inventory, data entry and moving the physical story location. Then, I will also have …

Monday Meanderings #24

It's hot in Texas with 'feel-like' temperatures over 100 every day. But we expect it in August. Sometimes I think about my mom being pregnant with me in August of 1951 and how hot it must have been in New Mexico. And of course, they had no such thing as air conditioning. We are spoiled!! …

MONDAY MEANDERINGS #22

The 4th of July holiday ended on a very somber note for so many here in Texas. I'm sure you've heard the news about the catastrophic flooding and high death toll in the Texas Hill Country. It's times like these I shake my head and have to wonder why. Of course, there's no answer. If …

Monday Meanderings #21

Happy Monday, as we say goodbye to June. This year is half gone! And it's hot outside on this side of the equator. It's been another busy week. When I look back, it's all a blur. I strive to stay in a state of mindfulness, but the rush of life sometimes takes over and I …

Hello, blogging friends! Life is moving at warp speed. The days sometimes seem long, but the weeks and months zoom by! Hope all is well with each of you. Summer is officially here! I feel as if I repeat myself each week, but it's sure been a busy week. A lot of the week included …

MONDAY MEANDERINGS #18

Hello, friends! I'm happy to be back with another catch-up post. Summer is always busy for me as the schedules are all askew. That's a great word, isn't it? Anyway, I'm happy you've joined me! I never know exactly what I'm going to say when I sit down to write these posts. Don't you just …
