The Year That Will Be

Posted on January 3, 2020 by

A couple of days before the dawning of the New Year, I was checking out Erin Karpluk’s instagram page (I have been a fan since Being Erica) and it had one of those giant word search puzzles. It stated that … Continue reading →

Thoughts on writing multiple blogs

Posted on May 5, 2019 by

I probably shouldn’t try to write multiple blogs.  Writing one takes energy, but writing three takes more than three times the energy. It leads to the neglecting of either one or two of them. Maybe I have some form of … Continue reading →

Posted on March 5, 2019 by

It was a great surprise to me, but perhaps not to most of you,  but yesterday’s post on editing and errors generated a lot of great comments.  I had believed that I alone had the inability to easily spot and correct … Continue reading →

Listening Gets You Free Stuff

Posted on January 8, 2019 by

A co-worker was lamenting the state of Christmas. It was not the commercial aspect that everyone seems to always grumble about (and do nothing about)  but rather the state of her own family Christmas and gift giving traditions. Unlike a … Continue reading →

Encouraging Someone To Write

Posted on January 3, 2019 by

While on Facebook, hitting “like” on many of my friends’ posts, I noticed that someone had left me a message. Since this happens as rarely on FB as it does on my phone, I took notice.  What I discovered was … Continue reading →

It Has Begun….

Posted on January 1, 2019 by

Best Friends

Posted on December 31, 2018 by

Briefly Booming Stats

Posted on August 3, 2018 by

I don’t normally check the blog stats during the day. I might glimpse at it if I posted late at night–secretly hoping that there aren’t too many comments about my poor grammar–I am an ESL teacher after all. Today, during … Continue reading →

Blogger Award

Posted on May 27, 2018 by

I have been nominated for the Sunshine Blogger Award by the author of HeideBlog. She confessed that she sometimes turns these things down because they have a chain letter quality about them.  I hadn’t quite thought of it that way, … Continue reading →
