Bob Dylan’s song, “These Times, They Are a-Changin’,” comes to mind as I prepare to have my first book published. It was my childhood dream to become a writer, but not just a writer – an author. I knew I was meant to write books. The direction of my life never afforded opportunities for book […]
Transformation is a process (whether negative or positive), and processing brings growth. Looking forward, we envision the goal before us, and then we slowly become what it is we want to achieve. I have loved writing ever since my Mama placed a pencil in my hand. The world opened up for me right then, and I

Another day – the same as yesterday where opportunity abounds. Someone needs a kind word, support in their business, or a like or a share on their Facebook page. A compliment is given genuinely so. A hug, a note, a gift, and prayers – oh, the many prayers to be prayed on their behalf. Most

For my second time birding, I got a few things together rather than just my binoculars this time. I also wore a jacket. I set up a camp chair near one of the trees, brought out my Cannon with 250 zoom lens attached, and an empty journal to record any birds I saw, and I
A year after the 2020 pandemic, we have learned many things. Patience, solitude, resting, minimizing, and how to have fun again. Let’s face it, our usual daily grind is busy – too busy. It took a world pandemic to slow us down. To make us look at what’s important, and… at what we have been
