A Lovely Focus

Texas has so much to offer native Texans, as well as, those folks who travel here to discover, vacation, or seek a new homeland. The landscape diversity within each parcel of Texas is pretty awesome. One of my passions is sharing my state, the Lone Star State, with y’all. On this journey, we’ll mosey through the […]

Long Days Journey into Night

Today has been a long days journey into night…. a good day, work, talking with friends, making sure the dogs got plenty of exercise…. Then out in yard, weeding the garden, checking the plants, watering, and ending up soaked in sweat from the heat and humidity. Long hot shower… laying on the bed contemplating life., […]

A Writer’s Journey ~ Come On Write With Me

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.

It feels inadequate to merely say, “Thank you for your service”, so I will add thank you for my freedom, for […]

A Writer’s Journey ~ Come On, Write With Me

There’s just something about music that deeply touches my soul. I’ve often been asked about my writing style, and one of the sparks that generates writing within me comes from listening to and singing songs that “tell stories”. There are so many songwriters that have touched my soul with their beautiful words and music. Their […]

A Writer’s Journey ~ Come On, Write With Me

In my other life… or one of them at least… I am striving to accomplish several goals as an author. I have two published novels that have done well in the local marketplace, but I am trying to reach the global market. As in all things, this is a hard goal to reach alone, so […]
