it’s february…i’m free!

Facebook sent me a message that I haven't posted anything in a while. Talk about pressure! It's hard to complain that celebrations have kept you so busy the past two months that you need a break, but...that's what I'm sayin'. Holidays, birthdays and the odd celebration peppered in are behind me now and I feel so free. It's February...I'm free! So I devised yet another exercise plan. I need adventure so I am now on a kick to walk the five miles it takes to do a loop up near Lake Michigan and back. The first free day I had

the excitement of january

It's January. Wow! So what have you been doing? Are you busy? Are you relaxing? Are you shivering? Are you shoveling? All of the above? None of the above? Oh, I have so much to chat about! I know that is no surprise, but fair warning...this post is a biggie. I keep adding to it. I love January. It's such an exciting moment to be at the very beginning of a fresh new year full of possibilities and unknowns. A few years ago, I ditched the New Year's resolutions and opted for a word or a thought that would guide

it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas

When I first started writing this post to share with you, it was much closer to the beginning of December. Now, it is much closer to the end of December, or at least it will be by the time I finish writing it. So, yes, my title is a little iffy because it should look a lot like Christmas now, but I'm still keeping it. In my world, we celebrate Christmas. And Christmas needs snow. And coldness. That's because I have always lived in a northern seasonal part of the world, aside from my first six months of life spent

the turkey club predicament

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. We're still eating some delicious leftovers and I found myself in a turkey club predicament today. Now that my "Happy Moments" coloring book for big people is published and for sale on Amazon, to start, (my happy plug), I can turn my attention back to creating my cookbook. One of the ideas I am currently working on sharing in my cookbook is for Turkey Day leftovers because I wouldn't dream of messing with your Turkey Day meal traditions. Here's my predicament... A few weeks ago I had some dental work performed. Nothing

my “happy moments” coloring book is ready on amazon

My "Happy Moments" Coloring Book for Big People is now available on Amazon and I am just tickled beyond words. https://www.amazon.com/Happy-Moments-Coloring-Book-Because/dp/0997737409/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1511712541&sr=8-1&keywords=happy+moments+coloring+book I won't ruin the story of how this book came to be (for those who love coloring books for grown-ups and just might add this to their list of needs this year), because I included it in my book, but it has been a project in the making for the last two years. Toward the end of October I realized that I was really close to being finished and if I buckled down, I just might have it ready
