Today my husband and daughter had Red Sox tickets. My daughter got them from work and wanted to take her dad. I came with him from the cape, and I’m sitting in the coolest bar ever while they are in the game. It’s called The Bleacher Bar because it’s in the stadium right under . . . → Read More: Notes From The Bleacher Bar Today is the second anniversary of this blog. I’ve written it for two years, through good times and bad. I made a commitment to do it every day, with the intention of examining my writing and becoming a better writer through that commitment. Something else happened that I didn’t count on. The writing helped me . . . → Read More: I Can Do Hard Things I have been working on pre-judgement for a long time now. I know myself so well, that I just KNOW I will not like this or that. When I saw the commercials for the impending new talk show Katie, I just KNEW I wasn’t going to like it. I just KNEW I’d never have a . . . → Read More: Katie (as in, Couric) Today my husband and I had four tickets to the Patriots home opener against the Arizona Cardinals.

The five women hosts were going on stage with no makeup on. I guess the big question is “Does makeup change who we are?” My first instinctive answer would be “No! Absolutely not!”, said rather indignantly. Clothes and face paint cannot change . . . → Read More: They Took It All Off My friend, who is an amazing writer of two wonderful blogs, recently reviewed the movie Hope Springs in her blog, Movies, Popcorn, No Butter.

A line I completely missed in . . . → Read More: Our One and Only Life I cannot again tell you how much the book I reviewed last night is changing my life. “Bonjour, Happiness” has just got me so into living in the moment and finding happiness in the thing I’m doing and the people I’m hanging with at the moment. Tonight has been magical. My daughter and her . . . → Read More: Joie de vivre! Jamie Cat Callan, a great author and a super fun teacher, is introducing an author friend of hers this Tuesday for a signing at a local bookstore. Her friend, Teresa Link, wrote a book called “Denting the Bosch”. I liked the title so much I decided to read the book before going to the signing . . . → Read More: Denting the Bosch & Hope Springs Danielle Steele, that is. For years my mom and I devoured Steele’s books. Then, in the last three years, spending time among writers and voracious readers, I heard it said about her books that they are flimsy, not well-written, she doesn’t write them herself, she writes so many she has a formula etc. During this . . . → Read More: Meeting Danielle |
