It's Rocktober, baby!!

Or, as we call it here at Chez Munder, my favorite month of the year! Some people love summer and equate the late Fall with a winding down period. Others love January and the start of the new year, I feel that same rush of new possibility and opportunity every October 1st. And it's here!!But, I can't have to much fun just yet. I'm finishing up a final, Q3 project that is pushing my Q4 off for

It's another one of these weeks!

Happy Tuesday, my friends. I hope you are cruising through your week with energy and enthusiasm. It's another one of these (those?) weeks here at Chez Munder. There is cool writing stuff happening. There is not so cool elderly parent/extended family stuff happening. There is simply a whole lot of STUFF happening.

But, I thought I had a good grasp on the names I used, how often, and how they fit my characters.Apparently not, as when I went through and updated the list the other day, I was mortified to see

Time keeps on slipping...

 Last month of the 3rd Quarter! Man, time flies. I'm starting September off with a much better feeling than I had at the beginning of August. Due, in no small part, to my hacking and winnowing down my projects and priorities down to a very nubby nub. What can I say? I love to over-estimate ALL THE THINGS I can (not) get done.None of that matters because we are sliding into Fall. Or Autumn, as

Did you love yourself today?

 Happy Thursday, friends. So, I'm jumping right in with the big question: what was your first thought when you read this quote from the awesome Pahla B of PahlaBFitness.com. Did you cringe? Offer up a snarky yeah, right? Snort? Did you simply break down into hysterical laughter?I hear you. Once upon a time, I probably would have joined in any, or all of the above. I never thought of myself as
