Probably you’ve heard a version of this at some point in your life:
You are–or are not–my cup of tea
My friend Maritza Parra created Courage Cards and does a free pull every month on her Facebook Page. This is the card she pulled for me:
I was part of an activity last year that Maritza held that included making a drawing of what the phrase meant to me. I drew my picture back in June, 2019, and I still have it.
When she pulled my card, I immediately recalled my drawing. It’s message to me is even more powerful today than it was the day I first thought of it. One person cannot be everything to everyone. We are liked by some people and maybe not so much by others. What we create will resonate with some and grate on others. Keep reading

I was feeling discouraged about how things were going in my business recently when I ran into a dear friend at one of my favorite local health and wellness shops. After we hugged, she asked me how things were going, and I said something about being stalled–whatever I said, I’m sure my discouragement shone through.
Then she reached into her pocket and pulled out this crystal and put it in my hand.
“Take this. It’s fluorite. It’s for determination,” she told me. Keep reading

I’ve been thinking about choosing #Faith as My One Word for many years now.
This idea occurred to me when I was writing one of my books. My maternal grandmother had triplet sisters that, sadly, didn’t survive infancy. They were so tiny that they put them into bureau drawers to sleep instead of cribs (according to my memory of family lore, which may or may not be fully accurate).
Their names were Faith, Hope, and Charity.
I thought it would be great to honor them by choosing one (and maybe more in the future) of their names as My One Word to focus on for the year.
This is the year.
I didn’t get the engraved “faith” stone for this particular purpose; I already I had it. It’s flanked by an Amethyst and a Smoky Quartz that I love. I gave it a place of honor, a place where I will see it frequently throughout the day. Keep reading

This is one of those movies that my husband wanted to see but I had no interest in it.
However, I have been working on broadening my horizons and doing things that I might not normally do, so I changed my mind and went with him.
This is the story of trial by media, which is ironic, because as far as I can tell, no one in the media is talking about this movie.
And they should be.
Three days after he is declared the hero for finding the bomb at the Atlanta Olympics and saving lives, he becomes the accused. Richard Jewell was a unique human being with a unique human being’s quirkiness, much of which gets turned into circumstantial evidence that was used by the FBI and the media to try to make the suspect fit the crime. The FBI had Richard Jewell, and like Greg Brady on that Johnny Bravo episode of The Brady Bunch, they desperately tried to make him ‘fit the suit’. Keep reading

The weather is turning cooler here in New England, and you can feel that fall is in the air. And you know what that means … the pumpkin flavored everything is everywhere? Yes, but more importantly,
NATIONAL NOVEL WRITING MONTH (NANOWRIMO) IS COMING!!
If you are new to NaNoWriMo, let me fill you in. In November every year, thousands (hundreds of thousands?) of brave people commit to write 50,000 words in one month.
People just like me.
And YOU.
Have you always wanted to write a book? Many people I meet do. Many have even started to but then, for whatever reasons that seem so important at the time, they don’t.
I used to be one of those people.
I was one of those people until 2010, when I discovered NaNoWriMo, and I wrote the first draft of my first book, a book that is now published. Keep reading
