the good, the bad, and the “I’m not ugly.”
With two months of 2018 behind us, I thought it would be an appropriate time to update you on my year so far. I’ve dealt with a lot of changes lately, some of them good, some of them bad, and some of them bittersweet. The good. In the beginning of January, I flew to California…

In case you’ve been under a rock, trapped beneath a dresser, or in a coma, those of us on the east coast are in the midst of Blizzard Jonah, Blizzard 2016, Snowzilla—whatever you want to call it—it’s snowing out there. My Saturday morning spin class was canceled, as were my lunch plans with a friend,…
Read Morewith a little help from my friends
Confession: Since the beginning of the year, I’ve been in a writing slump. I’ve always prided myself on my immunity to the dreaded “writer’s block.” Creating ideas and finding the words to express them has never been a problem until recently. I’m about half-way through writing the first draft of Novel Girl, a sequel to…

I have a very special relationship with my mother – anyone who has followed my blog knows this, as not only have I dedicated a post to her recently, she was once a guest blogger. The mother/child relationship is such a special one, which is why I am so pleased to share this special anthology…

Read MoreThe Celebration of Bloggers Tour welcomes Francine LaSala
I’m so pleased to have Francine LaSala as part of my Celebration of Bloggers Tour today. Francine wears many hats, including but certainly not limited to, published author, ghost writer, editor, blogger, copywriter, mother, wife, friend, and she recently added “party planner” to her resume when she co-organized the first annual Author Book Buzz event…

Before writing books was even a blip on my radar, I was a blogger. I blogged about everything from my friendships, to my family, to my BFF from high school who turned out to be a pretty horrible friend, to the effects of PMS on my personality, to unrequited crushes, to romantic relationships – especially…

Hi everyone! I’ve been falling a bit off of my weekly blog schedule due to time constraints but thankfully not by too much. The past week has been craaaazzy!! First of all, do you remember when I told you that after my first mammogram, I was called back because the images were unclear? I was…
