That Time I (Almost) Forgot My Kid’s Birthday
“So there’s no problems with that weekend? October 14th to 16th?” I asked Mark. “I don’t see any issues,” he said as he looked at his calendar. We were looking at our calendars trying to decide if I could make a weekend away work. I had been asked to help with Mom...
I Need Help
I. Need. Help. Those three words are hard to write (and even harder to say). I don’t like asking for help. I like doing things myself. And I like doing them well. But I’ve hit a wall. Honestly, I’ve been running into the same wall for months now. I bought all the...
Unwrap Your Dreams: Front and Centre!
Writing a book is a bit like wearing your heart on your sleeve. You write and publish, what you think, is a beautiful book. Your greatest hope is that someone will love it as much as you do. So when you see a post titled "The Best Books To Refresh Your Kids' Bookshelf...
Happy?

What If I Bring Home The Wrong Career?
I was at the local Cold Beer & Wine store the other day. Normally I go straight for the beer. I like beer. I like fruity beer, hazy beer, pale ales, loggers… lots of kinds of beer. But on my way to the cooler, I got distracted by the ciders, coolers and hard...
2.5 Months in the Making
This post is 2.5 months in the making… I was holding off writing it, hoping that I would have a big update to give… but I don’t. So I’m writing today to give you a non-update. Two and a half months ago my life was turned upside down when I lost my job of 17 years. It...

My Books Are Here… Again!
Friends… this has been a learning experience. To say the least. On April 10, I posted a photo of me holding my book (!) after it was delivered. It wasn’t a single book that was delivered, it was 500 copies. As soon as the boxes arrived, I poured over them: looking...
