I’m not a Top Ten blogger. I haven’t published an e-book and made thousands of dollars on it in within a week. No one is begging me to write for them. Yet here I am, still typing away. Things, actually, are going according to plan. Rome wasn’t built in a day and “changing my life” …
Change my life
In Print
Things come in “threes,” or so we all hear. Pigs, bears, blind mice. Celebrity deaths. General happenings. One work day a few years ago, I returned to my desk and spilled my morning coffee everywhere. My co-worker arrived late, because she had spilled coffee all over the inside of her car. A while later, one …
Time
The exaggerated spinning hands of a clock. The pages of a daily calendar whipped away by a wind. A tree changing from verdant, to scarlet, to barren. Time. It drags when we want passage, and flies when we just need to catch our breath. Life is full of milestones and the distance between those milestones …

Is it the hulking machinery, the type that comes in all shapes and sizes, or the fragrances of solvents and oil-based inks? We “unleash the beast” (a giant paper …
Tip Toe Through The Tulips
Pomp and Circumstance Over the next several weeks of spring, more than 3.1 million students will earn a degree in higher education, ranging from a two year associates on up to a doctorate (National Center for Education Statistics, Projections of Education Statistics to 2018, Tables 27-30). They will pour forth from the halls of academia …
Writing Aerobics
1.8 Miles, 200 Calories I am not “good” at exercise. I drag myself to my local gym 2-3 times per week and go through the motions. I’m a “plug in my earbuds and jog on the treadmill for the last half of a good crime drama”- kind of girl. Occasionally I wander around the weight …
