Although Jay’s 6th birthday was on Wednesday, I’m dedicating this week’s Gratitude Sunday post to him, just as I did for my daughter on her birthday. Jay is quite a character. He has so much enthusiasm for life and a great sense of humor. But he has a very sweet and sensitive side too. Consider [...]

I couldn’t post this yesterday because the wireless wasn’t working at the Breckenridge rental. Which is a bummer because I wanted this to post on Em’s actual birthday – the 15th – when she turned 9 years old. But better late than never. This week’s Gratitude Sunday post is dedicated to Em. I am so [...]

After giving myself a buy week to focus on promoting a story I entered in a contest, I went back into The Artist’s Way with gusto.

It’s a little on the long side at almost 5 minutes, but I guarantee it [...]

As a lead-in to this week of Thanksgiving, here’s Gratitude Sunday. The above is a little video of Jay’s Kindergarten class singing a song called Thanks a Lot. The video is not much to look at, but if the sound of those little voices singing doesn’t melt your heart, I don’t know what will. I’m [...]
