(when your child is just like you) For several generations, many mothers have put the curse on their children, “I hope you have a child just like you.” My mother never did that to me, or my brother. She said it was because my grandmother always told my father that and she had to deal […]
Ramblings
The Game of Life
Life can be described as many things. I am a believer that we make our lives what they are. No, I don’t think we control all circumstances, nor do I think that people (specifically children) bring abuse onto themselves. I do, however, believe that as we grow and become aware of our cognitive thought, we […]
The Triangle Took Shape (Part 2)
I came home from Florida and got back into my routine. I was counting down the days until I could see him again, until my youngest came home, and until I got to go to Missouri to see my oldest graduate from his Army Engineer’s training. I didn’t get to see Triangle for a few […]
Sunny San Diego
I grew up a couple of hours away from San Diego, but never really spent much time there. The weather is nearly perfect year-round and it’s next to the ocean, which is one of my favorite places to be. There are tons of things to do, great food, and fairly diverse. It’s also a bit […]
And…ACTION!
One of my absolute favorite experiences of this entire process so far was shooting a little commercial (or trailer) for the first book. I didn’t take the route that I see many author’s take, which is a professional editor putting together a few graphics and comments about the book.

Daddy’s Little Girl
Today would have been my father’s 62nd birthday. He passed at the young age of 45, completely unexpectedly if you ask me or my brother. As far as we knew, he was a healthy, strong man who couldn’t succumb to anyone or anything. In reality, his body was riddled with cancer and tumors, including at […]
Summer Time Fun
This past summer was far different for many of us than anything we’ve ever experienced or even imagined. The whole world has turned into something out of a history book and sci-fi apocalyptic movie combined. Several people I know did their best to get through the uncertainties by keeping their routines as normal as possible, […]
