Mango Sunsets

This summer I have been stuck on the fiction of Dorothea Benton Frank. Her books take place in the “Low Country”, the islands off the coast of South Carolina. My interest in her work was piqued when her novel Folly Beach popped up in my recommended reads. A few years ago I spent some time . . . → Read More: Mango Sunsets

More Tebowing

We all know Tim Tebow. We know him not by his football abilities, but by his faith ability. As for football, well, we al know that story. He’s not super good. But yet, here he is, making headlines and being part of one of the most prestigious teams in the NFL. How is that possible? . . . → Read More: More Tebowing

“F” is for Fun

It’s Fun Friday, the day of the blog hop I introduced you to last week. This week’s letter is “F” and as you can see, for me, “F” stands for only one thing – FUN!

Many years ago, throughout the nineties, I worked the rental counter and taught children’s skiing at Lapland Lake Cross Country . . . → Read More: “F” is for Fun

A Legit Job

When I retired four years ago I had a plan. I knew I didn’t want to work my first year. I wanted to do over each room of my house and begin writing. The house thing went well, but I didn’t write a word. By the second year I figured I’d find a tiny job . . . → Read More: A Legit Job

But I Won’t Do That!

Today was my second day back to Bikram after my month-long hiatus. It was a rough comeback. My first class last week was flawless. Today not so much. It’s not surprising because the yoga always has IT’S way with you, never the other way around. I knew when I re-entered the hot room, there would . . . → Read More: But I Won’t Do That!

Yesterday I went to the craft store to gather supplies for a jewelry project my daughter is working on. While there, I . . . → Read More: Ralph Lives – Time For A Creative Break

It’s Out!

The Trouble With Ralph, by Diana Lesire Brandmeyer, illustrated by Linda Bartosik, is now available for your reading pleasure as an e-book on Amazon.

If anyone had ever told me that someday I’d have a book I illustrated on Amazon, I never would have believed it. After 8 months of not only artwork, . . . → Read More: It’s Out!

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!

Short, but…

…profound.

Need I say more?

And so, as another day goes by, I’m picking wisely, and…I have written.

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
