Monday Meanderings #31

Happy Monday, friends. When I saw this image, I had the strongest urge to wander down that highway. Created in Canva I hope everyone is doing okay today. It's been somewhat of a quiet week here last week so I don't have a lot to share. My daughter and family went to Broken Bow, Oklahoma …

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 #29

Happy Monday and Happy Full Harvest moon tomorrow. I don't know what full moons mean to you, but for me, it's a time to put my crystals out on the balcony to recharge and reboot them. Well, there's that and crazy drivers. Created in Canva Because I haven't posted about the writer's conference yet, I'll …

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 #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 #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 …

MONDAY MEANDERINGS #17

Hello, friends. I'm happy to be back with a new post this week and have lots to share. So grab a second cup of coffee or tea and settle in. 🙂 Just kidding. I won't bore you with endless details. I could almost hear the water trickling over the rocks when I found this image. …

Monday Meanderings #16

Greetings, friends. I am astounded by how fast time is going. My mom always said the older you get, the faster it goes, and I am experiencing that as a profound bit of truth. School is about to be out for all the kiddos, so there will be lots of final events happening this month. …
