Beach Trip
This past fourth, my husband and I made the trek up to New Jersey to spend a week with his family. His grandma had flown in from Russian and that was the first time she had seem my hubby since he left 13 yrs ago. It was a fun trip. I would have more but the other pics are under my hubby’s google account and I cant’ remember the password.

Silver Lining
[image error]As an aspiring author, especially a self published one, finding the way to get our book(s) in to the hands of readers is a challenge. I look at New York Times best sellers and #1 indie author’s and wonder just how in the world they manage to pull it off. I mean which god did they sacrifice to in order to get their books into enough people’s hands that they climbed to the top of one of the hardest ladders to climb?
There is a point to this rant I promise.
As I near completion of my third boo...

Where’s My Magic Carpet?
For as long as I can remember, there has been this thirst in me to see the world and all its wonders. I’m not just talking about the ancient structures or the typical tourist things (not that there’s anything wrong with them) but the colorful tapestry that is mankind. I love experiencing different cultures and learning how they see the world and their place in the universe. And honestly, I think that’s where we are failing. I see it on the news and hear it in passing conversations. Ther...

Comparing
I know I am very much guilty of this. I highly doubt that there is a single person in this world who doesn’t compare themselves to other people. Sibling rivalry ring a bell? And honestly I don’t really think it’s all that bad, but I do have to agree that the best person to compare yourself against is you. We know what we had to overcome to reach where we are. We simply don’t know that about other people. They may have gone through hell and back and are now finally on the up swing.
I kn...

Getting Back into the Groove
Man oh man. My summer isn’t quite going the way I planned. As an educator, my summers are mainly used to recharge my extremely depleted batteries and possibly getting caught up on all the other projects that tend to fall to the wayside because of work. Well unfortunately, the sweet summer heat has left me lethargic and before I knew it, quite a bit of time has passed. At least it’s not too late now to get back into the groove. So no more waking up when I feel like it. No more days mindl...

Summer Lethargy
Oh Summer, how I long for you when you’re gone (well except during Fall) but I really need you to give me the go go juice instead of indulgent indifference. This is the time of year that the rest of my life is not warring with my need to write. Seriously mate, I love you but we gotta get to work before you leave me for Fall and I’m sitting here not having done a thing.

In the Night
In the cool, dark night
Magick stirs in the air.
Witches, ghosts, and fairies
Come out from their lair.
Tread carefully eager traveler
As you walk in the shadows
For you may fall victim
To the otherworld’s power.
Make sure to leave a gift
For those who have crossed the veil
And listen closely to their words
For they have a story to tell.
In the cool, dark night
Magick stirs in the air.

5k words in a day
That is my goal for today! Honestly, it sounds a little daunting. I don’t really keep track of how many words I write in any given session but I seriously doubt it’s that much. I found a picture on pinterest that laid an entire day out, with breaks. So I’ve decided to give it a try. This is the best time to do it since I’m on spring break and planned on writing anyways. I added the picture just in case anyone else wanted to give it a go! And to credit the creator : J Young-Ju Harris

A collection of moments
[image error]In the spirit of this pretty little picture and quote I want to talk about my recent trip up to Hanging Rock. The plan was to go camping for a couple of days and unplug, but that didn’t pan out, so we just went hiking instead. My husband and I invited my parents (who we were staying with) to come along and they said yes.
We decided to do the water fall trails because they were a little easier and my step father is still recovering from knee surgery.
The trail was nice and I enjoyed being ou...
