2021 Year In Review / 2022 Word of the Year
2021 Year In Review / 2022 Word of the Year
Happy New Year! I have really struggled this year in writing this post, not because I had trouble with choosing a word – this year that was the easiest part of this process.  The difficult part is writing a post that recaps last year without underpinning it with the politics and the continued divisiveness of this country which has managed to seep into just about every aspect of our daily lives,…

2020 Year In Review / 2021 Word of the Year
2020 Year In Review / 2021 Word of the Year
Once again a year has come and gone at a pace that seems to increase the older I get. For 2020 though, there were plenty of reasons; many of them were not good. My intention to choose a word of the year for 2020 was lost in the churn.    An inevitable journey we will all one day make, set its course for my mom during the summer of 2019 and came to its natural end in March just as a worldwide…

2018 Year In Review / 2019 Word of the Year
2018 Year In Review / 2019 Word of the Year #newyear #amwriting #goals
Happy New Year!  As has become a tradition for me, I am closing chapter 2018 with a review of how my word of the year turned out.  For those of you that don’t know, back in 2015, at the beginning of a journey that would change my life, I came across a blog post from my friend Melissa Dellthat talked about the concept of choosing a word to guide you through the new year. The word is supposed…

Chock-full of Goodness Cookies
Chock-full of Goodness Cookies #recipe #cookies #baking
[printfriendly]
 I came up with these quick, easy,  healthy-ish (at least I’d like to believe that – haha) cookies on the fly today to satisfy a sweet tooth.  This recipe falls under the category of  “Use What You Have”, but I’m very pleased with the way they turned out.  Not too sweet, a little chocolate, a little tart from the cranberries and a nice texture from the coconut and rolled oats.  I…

Happy New Year!
2016 - RESILIENT- A Year in Review #HappyNewYear #2017 #yearinreview #amwriting
As I sit here in the last hours of 2016, I look back on a year that continued in the arc that was started in 2015.  I continued to nurture and grow my creativity. I finished my first novel, The Empire, that will be published next week, and had one of the happiest and fulfilling years ever. For me, 2016 was a fantastic year!
When I started thinking about my Word for 2017, it occurred to me that…

2015 - Emergent - A Year In Review
2015 - Emergent - A Year In Review #wordoftheyear
  2015 was a very productive year for me, personally and creatively. The word “emergent” proved to be an accurate choice.  As I had promised myself, I kept my eyes and self open, and let the universe chart my course. I was not disappointed. There were challenges and lessons to be learned, and also a lot of wonderful adventures and opportunities. I pushed myself in directions that were not always…

Damn Good Crock-Pot Chili
Damn Good Crock-Pot Chili Recipe #recipe #chili #comfortfood
 This is a chili recipe with beans. Every time I make chili I do it slightly differently. It’s one of those things that is wide open for interpretation. You can’t really mess it up. I’ve made many types of chili including white chili with chicken or turkey, green pork chili and various types or red beef chili. This time I wanted to make a chili that was a little more subtle, and less acidic. I…
