They say age is just a number… I’ll be turning 60 on Easter Sunday. I don’t feel sixty. Okay, sometimes I do, but most of the time I don’t. It doesn’t seem that long ago when my daughter enlightened me by telling me I was middle-aged. Of course, I found that hard to believe. I…

Patchwork to Healing Book 3 in the York Harbor Series Novels You’ve heard the expression: never have I ever; those words could not be truer for me. Never had I ever imagined that when I first started writing in 2016, that I would by 2019 have my first novel published, let alone three.   Patchwork…

Have you ever imagined the possibilities that exist in your life? I mean really imagined them? Do you realize that we, as ordinary people, can become extraordinary? You’ve heard the expression…the sky’s the limit. Anything is possible, if you truly believe, but here’s the thing…we’ve got to put the work in to make it happen. …

A time for growth, abundance, activity, energy, and strength. Can you feel it: that warmth that permeates through your skin and into your soul?
