I love it when I am having a random conversation with someone and a great blog idea comes out of it. I think I appreciate it so much because it truly makes the idea authentic, rather than forced, and I believe I can write with way more conviction. Anyway, I was standing out on a lacrosse field in the freezing (literally) cold talking to another mom who was sacrificing her Saturday for the sake of her son’s sport career (a little sarcasm intended). Our conversation started out pretty simply, as … [Read more...]

TGIF moments
Confusing title? I’m sorry…blogging just happens when it happens so when my muse hits, I have to run with it. I’m writing this blog post on Friday but it's for Monday. Confusing I know… Most people have a sense of relief when Friday rolls round. The weekend is just around the corner and people are usually excited about having a few days off work. TGIF is an acronym we can all understand and relate to. I like Fridays too but mine haven’t started out with a TGIF moment ever since my book was … [Read more...]
Why friendships are like bras
Friendships are like bras. Yes, I think friendships are like bras. This random thought came to me years ago and has kind of stuck in my head. I debated blogging about something as personal as a bra, but then thought, why not? I don’t need to be so serious all of the time, right? Anyway, back to the bras and how they are like friendships. They come in all colors, shapes and sizes; some are better to wear in certain circumstances and as far as support goes, there are many different levels. Stay … [Read more...]
Time to stop and smell the flowers
You’ll all be happy to know that my mind has kicked back into random mode and blog ideas are flowing again. I know you were worried (insert tiny bit of sarcasm here). Seriously though, thanks to all of you who reached out to me and reminded me that this is supposed to be fun, not stressful, and that it was okay to take a break. I didn’t really take a break (because I have a second book to finish) but I did listen to the other pearls of wisdom you doled out. One of those pearls was to look at … [Read more...]
To write or not to write (sometimes it’s a dilemma)
I’m in the middle of writing some very intense scenes in book two. They’re wearing me out emotionally and because I’m giving all that I have to the book, I’m having a really hard time blogging. I can’t seem to come up with anything that sounds profound or even interesting. I’m kind of stuck and I have a few deadlines (tight, although self-imposed) to meet. Writing is really, really hard work…at least for me. There I said it. I love every minute of this crazy journey I have embarked upon but it … [Read more...]
