Read MoreBad Love Triangles
I was reading a book recently and found myself irked by the “so-called” love triangle. I’m not comfortable mentioning the name of the book and don’t try to figure it out by looking on my Goodreads “currently reading” list because I did not add it!! While the novel itself was generally entertaining, the love triangle…
Read Morewriter’s block
When you can’t think of anything to write about on your blog! Really sucks when the goal is to post one a week and it’s been almost two. Irritating when you’re trying to build your social media platform and you can’t think of anything to say. Terrified I will never come up with a blog topic…
Read MoreSix Sentence Sunday
In this scene from “Just Friends With Benefits”, Stephanie looks to pop culture and God to cleanse her of a sin committed to love interest Ryan. “When I closed my eyes to go to sleep that last night in the Outer Banks, I imagined asking my fairy godmother to grant me not three, but a…
Read Morethe waiting is the hardest part
I started this blog while I was trapped on a 6.5 hour flight to Seattle, sandwiched between two people with barely enough room to extend my arm to grab my two bottles of pinot grigio from the flight attendant. (I only asked for one bottle, but the flight attendant must have taken pity on me…
Read MoreNew Year’s Resolutions 2012
I often complain that our society lacks originality, at least from an entertainment perspective. Movies from decades past, like Footloose, have been remade, television shows from the 70s have been modernized for today’s world, like Hawaii Five-O and the epic fail, Charlie’s Angels, and covers of older songs are created every year in the double…
Read MoreThanksgiving “grateful” list
This time last year, I dedicated my blog to Thanksgiving blessings. I called it my “grateful” list and I shared some of the aspects of my life for which I felt extremely blessed. I thought about re-posting that blog as “new” since, really, what is the likelihood that any of you actually read my blog…
Read Moreode to my friends
I was on an emotional rollercoaster today- started off the day feeling happy and confident, but something inconsequential happened that felt monumental and as a result, my great mood turned ugly. But I vented my concerns to a friend and within an hour, she replied and I felt better. Emails from this friend usually do…
Read MoreThe Hardest Part – The Final Chapter – Promotion
So you’ve written a book and found someone who wants to publish it. Now what? You sell three billion copies in the first week and the book gets made into a movie starring Julia Roberts and Richard Gere, right? Oh yeah, that’s Pretty Woman and in real life, hookers don’t wind up with the big-hearted…
Read MoreNew Years Resolutions
I’ve never been a fan of the New Years Resolution. Through the years, I’ve silently laughed at all the new people who suddenly crowded the gym on January 2nd. And I counted the days until February 1st when I would stop seeing those people and could finally stop bitching about the line for the treadmill…
