What I Always Look Out For by Susan Horsnell, USA Today Bestselling Author

First of all, I would like to thank Judith for inviting me to post at Romancing the Genres. As an older woman, one of the things I always look out for are the actions of people and the goodness within.

There Goes The Sun

 I’ve written to you about my issues with SAD (seasonal affective disorder) in earlier posts. For decades my mood has been controlled by the amount of sunlight during the day. By October, there is so little sunlight that my brain goes dark too as depression descends. Fortunately, by this time of year, my depression has fled. Good, because April 8, 2024 is coming. The sun has such a

It's A Gut Thing!

By: Marcia King-Gamblewww.lovemarciaking.com I am told I read people well. It’s a gut thing, but I havemet people who literally made the hair on my arms raise. On the other hand, Ihave met strangers that even after a brief encounter left me feeling good. I’ve never thought of myself as a particularly psychicperson, but I have found that my assessment is rarely wrong. On the occasion I

Here they come!

Ah, the promise of spring. Now that we’re in one of the official “springtime” months, albeit super early springtime in these parts, I’m on the lookout for glimmers of future mild days, blossoms, and nature’s renewal.One such glimmer is the return of migrating birds and the subsequent nesting behaviours.
