  • Draws close, the end

    The scent lingers as I enter A hush over the room tells me I’m in a holy space I feel the weight of the air Silent and expectant Waiting For the moment when they shall usher Out an old friend I remember times when we spoke Good humour and wit And now I see eyes…

  • Time to live

    Time to live

    A long weekend of friends and family, Another celebration of life and living Each moment trapped in the crystalline gel Of time Strung together With beads of wonder Watching children play and grow Friends grow and change and become more dear Moments of life and living As time moves onward Carrying us all in its…

    Day at Calaway

    A Sunday like no other, We packed up and hit the road Headed for the place Where the seats are sold By the ones and twos, Or in our case by five and ten, We got there nice and early, With some good old friends The kids were full of excitement The doors swung open…

    Thunderstorms

    Friday rolled around again, raining down on the land with the fresh smell of dirt. I love the way A good thunderstorm rolls over all my senses Lightning so stark yet vibrant, Fire from the heavens Thunder as it rumbles, Playing drums in my heart The smell of life, Rich and peaty I can almost…

    Late night with my thoughts

    Night falls late in my home, My body droops and I sigh So much running through my head As another day goes by I wonder if I forgot To cross my i’s and dot my t’s And wonder if I remembered To give enough thanks and please Another month is ending, Another week almost through…

    Aftermath

    Another launch day almost gone and I’m still as pumped as the first one.

I did my first ever Facebook live which was truly hilarious. I couldn’t believe…

    The night before launch

    Tomorrow is the big day. My fourth book launches, and it’s every bit as exciting for me as the day book one was born. I can’t believe four of my creations will be out in the world for others to enjoy- and I hope they do. We all tell stories, everyday. Some of us write…

    The catch up day

    So today was my deliciously unexpected half day of work. Like most things I do, it didn’t go exactly to plan. Morning ran into lunch, then lunch ran into a meeting which turned out to be so enjoyable That we ran late (what? I know!) So by the time I got to my free time,…

  • My incredible Sunday

    My incredible Sunday

    Today was a full family day. We decided to attempt a family movie, hoping for the best and not at all prepared for the worst. It was The Incredibles, which I thought would capture the attention of each of the kids, youngest to oldest, So we took a deep breath, said a quick prayer for…

  • Oceans 8

    Oceans 8

    Okay, I’m going to have to fan-girl a little bit tonight. My hubby surprised me with tickets to go see Oceans 8 tonight, and I was stoked. An incredible heist movie with all of the main characters female? What? Has that ever been done? It was witty, bold, and at times painful in its honesty…
