Merry Christmas
Remember the movie Scrooged with Bill Murry? Such an awesome retelling of one of the best Christmas stories of all time! And the greatest moment of the movie is when Bill Murry’s character finally gets it. It may not be a Charles Dickens tear-inducing Tiny Tim moment, but stay with me…here’s what he yells in…

Diary of a Bad Writer: Holiday Songs Take Center Stage
The media has honed in on holiday songs this year, specifically Baby It’s Cold Outside. But the Washington Post took a satirical jab at one of Christmas’s most, if not beloved, well-sung songs – The Little Drummer Boy. It is interesting the writer talks of the little drummer boy as an annoying party-crasher who showed…

Diary of a Bad Writer: Overbooked?
Overbooked. That’s what I am – or at least feel like. My calendar and task list are too full. How about you? Is it the season or is it just what we allow to occupy our time?

Confessions of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella
I picked up Confessions of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella only after reading Surprise Me. I loved Surprise Me, but can’t say the same for the character of Becky Bloomwood. I thought she was a shallow and self-centered twit. Maybe that’s what Kinsella wanted – a character that the reader would roll his or her…

“If love is easy, you’re not doing it right.”

Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret by Judy Blume
Are you there God? It’s Me Margaret. I know you all must think I’m insane to read this again after 30 plus years (probably 40, but who’s counting, really?). Yet, Ms. Blume has let go of her well-known hold on the movie rights to this gem, and soon we’ll see Margaret’s struggle with pre-teen issues…

Diary of a Bad Writer: Election – Day After Thoughts
Yesterday was Election Day across the United States, and debates and argument abound! Some are overjoyed at the results this morning, while others are brooding in defeat. Yet, everyone who cast a vote had a voice in the outcomes. All votes matter! In Florida, where I am, the major race was for Governor. Gillum v.…

We Have A Hope
My grandmother died in May – her birthday was Saturday. I had the honor of living with her and caring for her during the last years of her life. My husband and I have been trying to get her home of over 60 years ready for sale. Man, did she accumulate a lot of stuff!…

Almost Everything Notes on Hope by Anne Lamott
Another Monday and another book review. Now, don’t get used to a Monday Book Review every week – I’m just not that quick of a reader during a normal week. This week was not normal. The hubby and I had a great stay-cation. What does that mean: I read all week! This week I finished…
