Here’s where you can find me these days

If you think I've disappeared from this blog, you're right. But never fear, I can still be found!

It’s been a while . . .

You know how people say that time flies when you're having fun? I've found that time flies whether you're having fun or not. I took a "little" break this spring and now here we are, close to the end of the year. I will admit that I simply can't keep this particular blog on any...

#WATWB To make a wish and then give it away

Make-A-Wish America is an organization near and dear to my heart, and something that always comes to mind when I think of good news stories. Make-A-Wish, to put it simply, grants wishes. Specifically, their team of donors and volunteers does everything in their power to make wishes come true for terminally ill children. When our...

A to Z-ing at my other blog this month

I'm participating in the Blogging from A to Z April Challenge once again, but (like the last time I did this) it occurred to me today that there may be some confusion for those who have WordPress accounts. My A to Z posts are all on my other blog, Easy Reader Editing, so if I've...

#WATWB Happiness heroes

Finding this month's #WATWB post just made me smile for hours. Who doesn't love tiny animals, right? I think we all have said, at one time or another, "If only kittens could stay kittens and puppies could stay puppies . . ." because the truth is, they're just so doggone cute when they're tiny. If...

Spring break

No, I'm not actually going on a spring break. I'm simply taking a break, because it's spring. Spring tends to be a busy time for me, for whatever reason. I don't always even know what is keeping me so busy, but I know I'm tired from it at the end of the day, and a lot...

The clutter that is life

One of my goals for 2018 is to declutter. No one who's ever been to my house would ever accuse me of being a minimalist, so perhaps you can appreciate that this will most likely be a year-long task. And yet, I'm determined to plug away at it for more than a few reasons. I've...

#WATWB One man’s trash is another man’s treasure

I try to not use the word "love" frivolously, but I will confess that I love books. As a reader and a copyeditor, books factor heavily into my free time and lifestyle in general. Imagine how excited I was to find this month's #WATWB post! In the city of Ankara, Turkey's capital, a unique library...

These are a few of my favorite . . . blogs

Probably half of my online time is spent blogging, whether that means writing for my own blogs, answering comments on them, or visiting other people's blogs. Because I'm part of the writing and editing world, a good number of those blogs feature those topics. But I consider myself fortunate to have a wonderful variety of...

Celebrating each victory

So . . . my last post was a bit heavier than usual, but tonight as I write this, my heart is full. Right around the time of my previous post, we had a tiny bit of celebration in our household. Well, it was a big deal to one person in particular, and just a...
