Can you believe it’s already past the middle of January? There’s no holding back time, is there? I wish you all the blessings that you need most and the joy and peace that you desire most in 2025! 2024—like every other year—had its memorable moments, both good and bad.

July, July, July, July!
Welcome to the 7th month of the year! Can you believe we’re in the second half of the journey to 2025? Where does the time go? I’ve had the pleasure of participating in a second great author and reader event, this time online. The RSJ Convention ran from July 11 – 13, and every dayContinue reading “July, July, July, July!”
It’s already May, for goodness sake!
I can’t believe we’re already started the last full week of May! So much has happened in my personal and professional lives. If you’re a subscriber to my newsletter, you already know a lot of it, but if not, here are the highlights. If you’re interested in finding out more about any titles I mentionContinue reading “It’s already May, for goodness sake!”
My Year In Review
First of all, happy holidays to you all! 2022 is almost over and it’s that Hanukkah, Christmas, and Kwanzaa time of year again! Can you believe it? 18 more days, and it’ll be 2023. Are you ready for that? Not sure I am! Personally, the year was again marked by pain. My father-in-law passed awayContinue reading “My Year In Review”
Gittin’ ‘Er Done!
It’s been a trying few months in my household, starting with my father-in-law’s death, an unexpected trip back home to Jamaica (after a 30-year absence!) as a result, a mystery illness that plagued my husband for the entire time we were there, and two cases of COVID-19 in my house, one of whom was me.Continue reading “Gittin’ ‘Er Done!”
Happy Mother’s Day!
Here in the United States, it is Mother’s Day. We celebrate with food and family, give gifts and show our appreciation for the women who birthed and raised us. Some people are no longer — or have never been — blessed to have their mothers with them. They have lived their whole lives, or someContinue reading “Happy Mother’s Day!”
Inspiration Central
It’s another cold day in the Mid-Hudson Valley of New York, with a forecast for snow this evening. I will not fear…as long as there’s no active snow on Tuesday morning, I’m good to go. Why, you may ask? Because I hate driving in snow or any other form of precipitation. But if you liveContinue reading “Inspiration Central”
Happy New Year!
Here’s to health, peace, and love in 2022! And here’s a sweet little love song to dance your way into the new year (the romance writer in me couldn’t resist this)!
Life in the fast lane
December is upon us! Halloween and Thanksgiving are in the rearview mirror, and Christmas is coming up fast ahead. Are y’all ready? My December began with a birthday…my youngest child — a daughter — turned 21. And on Sunday the 12th, my second child — a son — turns 34. Yes, I am older. LOL!Continue reading “Life in the fast lane”
It’s been a while…
I haven’t had the wherewithal to journal for a while. Grief has numbed me, and it’s all I can manage to go to Facebook to make sure my few readers don’t forget I exist. It’s two days before Christmas, and my house has more Christmas decorations this year than it did last year — whichContinue reading “It’s been a while…”
