It’s Good To Have Her Back!

There are some artists and writers that walk close to the edge in their work and come close to falling off. Lady Gaga and E.L. James (50 Shades) are two of them. I always try to look past the obvious with artists of this caliber. My view on 50 Shades is in my earlier post . . . → Read More: It’s Good To Have Her Back!

Difficult Relationships

Difficult relationships. I’ve had precious few in my life. I’m involved in Oprah and Deepak’s 21 day meditation challenge on miraculous relationships. Today’s program dealt with difficult relationships. I don’t know about you, but for me, difficult relationships were something to be hated and feared. I didn’t particularly care for the people in some of . . . → Read More: Difficult Relationships

Some Question!

What LEGACY do you want to create with your life? What is the central message of your gift to the world and EXACTLY HOW do you get that gift out of the idea stage and MANIFESTED in the actual world?

While you’re still alive.

If ever I was posed a question that made me take . . . → Read More: Some Question!

Rounding The Bend, Part 2

Today was an amazing day. I spent it with my daughter – meeting with the wedding planner, having lunch with her and my dear friend, then going out to dinner, talking more wedding plans..etc. This is a first for me. Sometimes I don’t know what to do with it all. And the fact that it’s . . . → Read More: Rounding The Bend, Part 2

‘Rounding The Bend

Currently I’m reading Return To Sullivan’s Island (Lowcountry Tales) by Dorothea Benton Frank. Her writing is not as deep and heart touching as Kristin Hannah, but the books flow with a great storyline. Last night I came across two thoughts that, today, on the morning of my sixtieth birthday, intersected. One was that two days . . . → Read More: ‘Rounding The Bend

Staying In The Moment

I’m finally learning what that phrase means. Yesterday we spent the day in Boston with both of our daughters and said fiancé. They planned a full day to celebrate our 60th birthdays in lieu of a party. We started with lunch on the waterfront at Jerry Remi’s. Next we walked to the Aquarium to see . . . → Read More: Staying In The Moment

Last Day of Summer Camp

It’s the last day of the Cape Cod Writers Center Annual Conference. Though the amount of learning I acquired this week was insurmountable, it was today that made the most impact.

On the last day, in every class, we have to fill out course evaluations. My e-pub teacher was great and I couldn’t have . . . → Read More: Last Day of Summer Camp

Summer Camp – Day 3 – Books!

I was a voracious reader from the days of Nancy Drew and The Bobbsey Twins. I was fascinated with books. It seemed ominous to my nine year old self to make a book. Authors, to me, were rockstars. Writing a book was just something so unattainable – like trying to be an NFL star quarterback. . . . → Read More: Summer Camp – Day 3 – Books!

Summer Camp – Day 2 – Homework

Day two of the writers conference was a busy one. In between the two classes and running the bookstore, I had to sneak out and give some time to my new job of wedding planner. I made the complete circle from Hyannis to Mashpee to Sandwich and back to Hyannis again in time for my . . . → Read More: Summer Camp – Day 2 – Homework

Summer Camp – Day 1

Ah…here we are again. The first week of August at the annual Cape Cod Writers Center Conference. I always call this week summer camp for adults. It’s a week to mingle and chat and learn and, this year, work in the bookstore. I love working in the bookstore. I get to reconnect with people I . . . → Read More: Summer Camp – Day 1
