Holy Crap….2016….

Greetings everyone!

So here we are in a new year and I must say, 2016 has come out swinging. We have lost so many people in January but the ones that have hurt me the most are losing the Goblin King and Professor Snape.

My heart goes out to their families and I know that the Labyrinth and Harry Potter will never be the same for me again. So let’s have a moment of silence for not only these men, but for everyone that we have lost already this year….

Switching gears now,

I’ve been working...

Magic in the Air

So sorry. I know it’s been a while since I did a poem of the month. I wrote them, I swear. I just never got around to posting them.

The days grow short

And the nights grow long

But you can feel magic in the air

Smoke rises from chimneys

And the skies become gray

but you can feel the magic in the air

The wind is cold

And the trees are bare

But there is magic in the air

In the darkest of nights,

Lights will appear

In the trees

On our homes

In our hearts

We shall gather around heavy laden...

I’m back in the saddle again!

Man o man! It has been a long minute since I have updated anything. I feel a little guilty about that but that’s life. Sometimes you just can’t get to everything. Well, I hope that everyone is doing well as we gear up for the holiday season. Even though I haven’t been here, that doesn’t mean that I haven’t been working. I’m still working away onSouls in the Dark. I’ve actually been plotting a lot (insert evil laugh).

Ha ha. Don’t worry folks, I haven’t planned anything too shocking….at...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I might have scared a man in Wal-Mart the other weekend. My husband and I went to Wal-Mart to pick up a few things and as usual, we go through the garden section. And right off the bat I see Christmas trees! Are you f*ing kidding me!

Now I don’t have anything against Christmas, I just don’t like seeing it earlier and earlier every year. Is it too much to ask that we’re allowed to enjoy Halloween and Thanksgiving before we get bombarded by Christmas? I hate how commercialized it has...

I Really Should Be Editing….

Over the Labor Day weekend, I finished another chapter of my new book. As I finished, I realized that I haven’t done any editing in a long time. I have just been busy plowing through my chapters, spitting them out as quick as possible. Now I don’t want to disrupt the creative juices, but I also don’t want to have a huge pile of papers to go over. The last time I did that my brain nearly melted and I ended up missing a lot of stuff.

But I have to edit. I need to make sure that I’m happy with t...

First Three Weeks

I have nearly completed the first three weeks of school…

I am so, so, so, so, very tired. It already feels like I’ve been back for three months. I think coffee is the only reason why I’m still alive. But….I love seeing the children. They all grew so much over the summer. The new kindergartners are so adorable and it’s nice to be back with my work family.

I know it will take some time for me to get fully back into the swing of things, but I hope this year will be a good year!

See y’al...

The Cleansing

Here I stand on a distant shore

Weary, worn, and broken

From bridges burned and words unspoken.

The path I walked was a lonely one

Filled only with silence

And a singular reliance.

Here I stand with nowhere to go

Staring out to the sea

Dreaming of a new way to be.

Filled with hope for the very first time

I walk carefully into the surf

Seeking the road to my rebirth.

The water washes away

All my suffering and all my pain

Which have long been my life’s bane.

Under I go

But only for a momen...

Beauty of the Night

I weep at the beauty of the night

With its welcoming darkness

Brightened softly by the moon.

I weep over the beauty of the night

With its cool winds

That caress my skin.

I weep over the beauty of the night

With the lingering scents of flowers

And sun baked earth.

I weep over the beauty of the night

Whose energy fills me

And urges me to new wonders.

I weep over the beauty of the night

Whose subtle nature often goes ignored

By those who are born with the sun in their veins.

The night is in...

July…the fastest month of Summer

I can’t believe that my summer is almost over! I only have two weeks left before I have to go back to work!

Summer where did you go! Come back! I didn’t get a chance to do everything that I wanted!

I wish my summer was as long as it was when I was a kid. It seemed to last forever back then. Sigh.

Farewell Summer, I shall miss you terribly.

The Attempted Homicide of My Computer

My computer owes its continued living to my husband. For the past two weeks, my lovely computer has decided to take a crap on me. It’s not even that old! I’ve only had it for a few years! Arg!

I kept getting errors about a driver, but it never told me which driver was jacked up. Luckily, I was able to, during a brief working period, get all my files backed up. My husband stopped me from taking my computer out into the back yard and shooting it with a shot gun. He spent two days working o...
