There have been a lot of different things I’ve wanted to write about in the last few weeks. I would see or hear something that triggered a writer’s bell in my head, but I couldn’t make time to flesh it out. I’ve been sick from the heat. I don’t do well when the thermometer goes…

I GOTTA GET BACK ON TRACK!
What do you do when it feels like life is spinning out of control? How do you get back on track? Can you even recognize that it’s happening? It doesn’t take much. You can have your whole life all planned out and everything seems to be going as it should. Then things happen. Something doesn’t…
The Good Times
I’ve been a writer for as long as I can remember. I wrote my first poem in grade school and fell in love with poetry. I sat in front of a typewriter free writing since my dad allowed me to “play” on his Royal. But, I just realized I seldom write during the good times….
The Benefit of A Guided Journal
To those of you who are not new to me, this may sound strange. But, for all the writing I do, I’ve never used a guided journal. A guided journal is more than just another journal. Most journals are just empty books to jot down quick notes or emotions. But, a guided journal has prompts…

Pens, Notebooks and Journals! Oh My!
One of my dreams for a long time was to have a hobby room of my own. I wanted a quiet place to sequester myself and write undisturbed to my heart’s content. Or a place where I could let my creative artist out without fear of distractions. My dream room had pens, notebooks, journals, art…
Write To Life
I’ve been a writer my whole life. From an early age, I loved to write. I can still recall the first poem I ever wrote when I was in second grade. It was for a school assignment but it ignited a fire in me that nothing can quench. It read: There was some red In…
