Mermaid’s soul song

I went to visit mermaids today. This time, I did not end up swimming with the fishes. At least not unintentionally. I talked my kids into taking me out paddleboarding. I have to borrow my son’s board still. It was a beautiful day to be out on the lake. Several large fish jumped while we … Continue reading Mermaid’s soul song

Dinosaurs from the past

Today I fought a T-Rex. I thought the dinosaurs were dead. Apparently, I was wrong. This one was certainly alive from the ancient past. Here I was, all nice and happy, working away at preparing a short story for publication out into the world. I had a thought that I probably needed to do some … Continue reading Dinosaurs from the past

Greys are not as fun as gnomes

Today, it was the Greys that invaded and stole me away. Geesh! Let me tell you, they are not nearly as fun. Okay, maybe I have found that I like gnomes more than Greys, at least when we’re talking about hypnotizing aliens. At least it’s my Friday. I need it. I need to shake off … Continue reading Greys are not as fun as gnomes

Time-Space shift

A strange thing happened on the way to my writing room last night after I finished my blog post. I tripped over a rift in the time-space continuum which I had opened with my previous planning and fell into a vortex of doom. I found myself at the mercy of little gnome-like aliens who shoved … Continue reading Time-Space shift

Accountability #12

Well, if you got my email and came to read this, it has changed. I’m a goober! Okay, so let’s also be accountable. Here’s the stats from last week: That’s dismal. I think that’s a splat for sure. Okay, I need to get some writing done as well as everything else. I will give myself … Continue reading Accountability #12

4 years & accountability

Today is 4 years of writing a blog post every day. Okay, so let’s also be accountable. Here’s the stats from last week: That’s dismal. I think that’s a splat for sure. Okay, I need to get some writing done as well as everything else. I will give myself some grace because I knew I … Continue reading 4 years & accountability

Short to rest

I’m not going to write a whole lot tonight. I haven’t been feeling well today. I mowed the lawn this morning and I was trying to rush through it, and I think I got overheated. Not a good plan. Top that off with the mindset work I’ve been doing and breaking up a lot of … Continue reading Short to rest

Response Ability

Today, I’m thinking about responsibility. I heard a good definition of it recently: responsibility is your ability to respond. I enjoy it when words can be broken down like that. (grin) But it’s led me to thinking about my own responsibility to my creativity, to my businesses, to my life. I find that in a … Continue reading Response Ability

Trip to Shoshone

Little Miss and I went to Shoshone today for Shoshone Art in the Park. Aside for stupid drivers who try passing on the highway at bad spots because heaven forbid they might have to slow down to, oh, THE SPEEED LIMIT, it was a good trip. Yes, California driver, I’m looking at you! I could … Continue reading Trip to Shoshone

Back from reception

Got back from the artist reception. Forgot to get pictures. I’m so bad about that. It was neat to see my pictures hanging. I had the chance to meet some other artists. Always good to see new faces and get to hear about their art. Talked to friends as well. Overall, it was a good … Continue reading Back from reception
