Don't you just love the holidays! Christmas is one of the most magical times of the year. And this year I spent it in the company of amazing family and friends. Of course, some of my family and friends were not with me physically, but in spirit, we're always together,...
I’m an overwriter so I'll keep this post super short. When writing, at times I explain things that don’t need explaining and sometimes I get carried away with the story. So when I edit, I somehow end up with more words than I had before. *sigh* On the bright side, an...

It’s here! Wow! I couldn’t wait for today. I’m bubbling with joy because today I get to introduce you to my new website! I’m absolutely thrilled at the look of it. My deepest and sincere thanks to Nick Hunt for such a gorgeous website encompassing three things I love,...
