    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…

    Chasing Light: Light Wins

    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…

    Chasing Light: The Journey

    Sooner or later we must realize there is no station, no one place to arrive at once and for all. The true joy of life is the trip. Robert J. Hastings So much has been written about “the journey” as a way to find oneself or as a path of life, and while this post might…

    Diary of a Bad Writer: Cats Are Bookish…Right?

    Diary of a Bad Writer: Cats Are Bookish…Right? Absolutely, and you can blame the rodent delicacy of book binding glue for that little fact.

    52 Book Club Challenge

    It seems I am always making a New Year’s intention to blog more often, and apparently this year is no different. What makes this year any different, you might ask – the difference is that this year I will be blogging for me. You see, the past few years I have blogged to build an…

    On Writing by Stephen King

    You’re probably wondering why, so soon after my review of Elevation, I would review yet another Stephen King book – and for that matter, one published 20 years ago. That’s simple – it’s Stephen King, man! Another reason is this: in all of the inspirational writer’s how-to’s or memoir-like this is how I do it…
