Whether it's taking a quick walk around the block, a long hike in the mountains, going to a ballet class, or even just sitting on an exercise ball for a few minutes is a fantastic way for me to get the creative juices flowing again. I always come back with fresh ideas, and get some great exercise under my belt at the same time. Win-win!

What mystery in your own life could be a plot for a book?

Full disclosure, he was my first serious boyfriend, and ended up being the main reason I moved to Colorado from Pennsylvania. It appeared he had my entire life all planned out, but unfortunately neglected to tell me about it. Upon discovering the plan, I knew that just breaking up with him wouldn't work. He was a control freak as well as a planner. He was also a few years older than me and considered himself very worldly and wise compared to me, and loved to tell me what to do. Did I mention he was a control freak?

I was in my senior year in college. I broke up with him, packed my 1974 Ford Maverick and 5 days after graduation, left town with a college room mate to have an adventure and seek our fortunes. Thirty-three years later, when I was back in my hometown taking care of my dying parents when I heard a strange woman's voice calling his name as I was driving my mother home from the hospital. The sequence of events that followed were pretty bizarre, and remarkable. And it all started with a small gold necklace that I threw away just a few weeks earlier.....

It was so weird. And boy, did I dodge a bullet!(less)

Garden Grown Tomato Soup

It’s September, and if you have a garden, you are fortunate enough to enjoy a healthy harvest of fresh vegetables, including my personal favorite, home grown garden tomatoes. My garden was able to grow some spectacular tomatoes this year, in spite of the relentlessly hot, dry weather we experienced all summer.

There is nothing better than home grown tomatoes, as well as the many options for enjoyin
