Tonight, as I sat outside and gazed up at the almost starless blue- gray night sky, my thoughts drifted off to childhood days, and those long summer nights that were never wasted. Each magical night spent out in the moonlight with millions of stars twinkling above me remains forever a part of who I am. […]
I grew up in the red dirt of East Texas, walking barefoot everywhere, and never worrying about much. Freedom came easy back then. I spent my days climbing trees, listening to the birds sing, playing hard, and then snuggling under my bed covers at night feeling tired, safe, and worn out. When Autumn came, my […]
I have wondered… and now I know. How could his court case and all charges just be randomly dismissed. Hmmm… by promising the sitting judge a seat on a “higher” court when “he” wins again. How could any sane individual dare to storm the White House, maim, kill, incite riots, chaos, and fear? By sending […]

I was barely thirteen when I first saw that movie. It was magical sitting in that darkened theater watching a great love bloom. Then mere moments later, I found myself perched anxiously on the edge of the seat as the story unfolded, and the characters fell apart when they found out her diagnosis was terminal. […]
As in all things we humans set out to accomplish, we have no control over the “real world.” When I began my blog, I set a goal. Yet, the real world enters, steals away a part of our lives, our loves, and leaves us barren and forlorn for a while. Someday, I hope to return […]
It’s been awhile since my last post, but sometimes life gets in the way, and you have to attend to other things. My goal is to continue this online journey. Though for tonight, I will just share some rambling thoughts… I have always loved traveling on trains. Somehow they just draw me deep into the […]
As with all things in life, it’s a woman’s prerogative to change her mind. It may appear that I am very slow in accomplishing my goals, but I will never be a book a year author. My goal is not to rush through and push out a new book, rather it’s to let it grow […]
