    Diary of a Bad Writer: Nom de Plum

    When an author decides to publish under a pen name there are things they should consider. While pen names seem cool on the outside, there are downsides to using one as well. First off, I pose the question: why are you considering using a pen name? There are various reasons someone would want to use…

    SOS Cuba

    Millions of Cubans across the world are shouting, “We cannot remain silent.” Most of humanity cannot even begin to understand the Cuban people’s plight – communism, oppression, poverty…and all for the sake of politics. I’m not going to pretend I understand all the nuances surrounding the Cuban people and their struggles, but what I do…

    Chasing Light: The RV Show

    Who knew, twice a year in Tampa, Florida, an RV show puts up its roots at the State Fairgrounds. Last month the summer show; the next one will be in the winter (maybe around January??). Well, DH and I decided to explore and possibly get some questions answered. We were not ready for the surprise…

    Chasing Light: Every Day Needs a Night

    Designation: Dark Sky at Kissimmee Prairie State Park in Okeechobee, Florida. Independance Day weekend has come and gone, and a storm named Elsa didn’t bring the disater some predicted (non-Floridians for the most part). I’m now back at my day job and having a bit of wanderlust withdraws. Kissimmee Prairie State Park was beautiful, and…

    Chasing Light: Quickbooks

    My DH says, “Math is of the devil.” Now, I know not everyone agrees with this statement, yet for me, there’s a reason I majored in English and minored in Communication Arts. Math is definately not my forte. Which brings me to today’s rant. Since moving forward toward running a funtioning and hopefully profitable business,…

    Diary of a Bad Writer: An Uncluttered Road

    A dear friend went on vacation. She packed her bags, fueled up her car, and hit the road. She shared her adventure on her blog glitzyadventure.com, and of course, I’ve had to read it. In one of her posts she closes the dialogue with this statement: Our road is presently uncluttered. Kathy Leigh – My…

    Diary of a Bad Writer: Simplicity

    As I begin to catch up to my mother’s age, I realize more and more how we, as humanity, accumulate stuff we think we can’t live without, yet in reality…we can and often times should. But then the challenge of letting it all go becomes stressful. That 65 inch television you got for Father’s Day…

    There’s something about catching enough light in the dark to produce a photograph. Why? Because it means LIGHT WINS!

    Chasing Light: And So It Begins

    This past weekend DH and I drug out the tent and camping gear. Yes, I realize tent camping is sort of trending right now with a fresh title – Glamping. What exactly is glamping? Well, Webster defines it as “outdoor camping with amenities and comforts (such as beds, electricity, and access to indoor plumbing) not…
