Monday Meanderings #1 2026

Hello, everyone! I'm back! While I enjoyed the blogging break, I'm happy to be back at it. I have a lot to catch you up on, but I'll try to be brief. The space between Thanksgiving and Christmas was nothing more than a blur. I worked a lot, but thankful for the opportunity. However, my …

Monday Meanderings #37

Hello, friends! Last week flew by in a blur. I swear time is moving faster. But now we are fully into the Christmas season with trees, decorations and lights everywhere. I don't know what the weather is like where you are, but it's turned cold here. I finally had to give in and switch on …

Monday Meanderings #36 #Thanksgiving

Hello, dear friends. This is Thanksgiving week in the U.S. and many of us will be gathering with family to celebrate the holiday. There is always SO much to be thankful for on any given day, but even more powerful when we combine our thanks with others. This past week has been a little different …

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 #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 …
