Purple Heart for Valentines Day

By Diana McCollum.    

I’ve spent a great deal of time pondering what I should write about this month.  The subjects that were suggested by our Blog Queens "Marching to the Beat of a Different Drum."I chose something entirely different.

I realize death is a sad subject to discuss.  It’s going to happen to all of us at some point in time.  The hope is we live long, healthy, happy and

A Different Drummer by Lynn Lovegreen

(Note: this was previously posted on www.lynnlovegreen.com.)





I was the nice, quiet kid who read a lot. I had friends and could be social when I was in the mood or circumstances called for it, but I was a bit weird. One of my favorite things to do was find a quiet place in the woods and tell myself fairy stories. While other kids played sports, I curled up with a book or listened to

Stepping Outside the Comfort Zone by Eleri Grace

Sometimes the prompt for the
monthly blog stumps me, and I’m forced to ruminate for a few days before
settling on the best theme and angle. With this one, I immediately knew how I
would approach it. You see, both my heroines and I know a bit about marching to
the beat of a different drummer.

Living to the Beat of a Different Drum by Dora Bramden

When you don’t fit in you have no choice but to live a
different kind of life, one that is a path forged out of necessity. It can be
difficult as you face an unknown road but also freeing because you aren’t bound
by the restrictions of a normal life.

parents were raised on farms in Tasmania, but I was born in working-class
suburb north of Melbourne Victoria. In some ways, I was socially

I Never Do Things Easy by Paty Jager

This month at RTG the theme is “Marching to a Different Drummer.” I can tell you about that!

I’ve always been an independent spirit. My mom said when I was a baby, I didn’t like to be held. I’ve always been happy to hang out by myself, which was good considering I had two brothers. One is 18 months older and the other 4 years younger. I spent most of my time either reading, listening

Translation, this woman’s head is in the clouds; she’s not reality based. The irony of it is, I consider myself  a romantic realist. Gotta love with  both your head and heart.
