March Project: Desk Revamp
There’s this deck that is less than 40 feet from touching the clear water of a lake that holds the most sacred places in my heart. It’s connected to a cabin that has been my family’s vacation destination for the same week in August for the past twenty years. It’s a familiar space with gorgeous views, and it has the capability to unleash floods of memories. If there ever was a place more conducive to productive thinking, I haven’t found it. That deck is my sweet spot for inspiration. Goals are made there; motivation is birthed. I write like crazy and even contrived the idea for my current mystery novel…

Valentines Project: You’re the Cream to my Java
Valentines Day. Yup, it’s coming up, and are you, dear reader, prepared? Those of you with significant others, do you find it’s really hard to come up with something for your sweetie that’s not cliché, ridiculously expensive, or something they already have? Here’s the trouble, it’s been just over a month since we pored ourselves into the Christmas season, prepared carefully the gifts our guy would open, and spent (in my house at least) a pretty penny to make it special. I love giving gifts and I like to go all out, but when you’re on a budget, being lavish hardly removed from the best gift-giving holiday can be tricky.…
