May 13, 2010 (In case this seems a bit scattered – you have to understand that I wrote most of it between 3:15 and 4:00 am … but after some more sleep, and some serious thinking, and research, and reflection… I am going with it!) I just woke up with an epiphany – that’s an . . . → Read More: epiphany: ah-ha moment! Novel Under Construction! 12 May 2010 As anyone who has been following this blog will have noticed, I am “taking the plunge” and trying to write seriously – become a real writer instead of a dabbler! So I’ve been reading, studying, conversing with other writers – and doing a LOT of writing. Anyway, I’ve been collecting incredible INSPIRATION on the . . . → Read More: key notes: inspiration! 4 May 2010 Being a mommy of 5 kids (and all their friends, many of whom practically lived at our house) and now 5 + 2 grandkids (2 due soon!), I’ve always tended to “cheap” when buying myself things – especially shoes. In the past year or two, as I’ve taken up trying to get out and . . . → Read More: new shoes! May 3, 2010 I read this in the April 26 entry in the 2010 Bible League of Canada planner: “Today you will probably have opportunities to get more than you actually need. Why hurt yourself?
