Be Positive in Life and Writing

I just found this AMAZING blog hop that fits in with my mantra of “Find the positive, in every situation, no matter how small.” It’s called Celebrate The Small Things. Celebrate The Small Things is a weekly celebration where we celebrate the happenings of the week, however small or large the item in question. I didn’t […]

May Goals: 1. Since WIP#2 wasn’t working, I switched to WIP#1 and I’ve written a few paragraphs towards the ending. So, continue that. Unless my MC in WIP#2 starts talking to me again! I’m flexible like that! I’ve been plucking away at this one sentence at a time. I think I might actually have a […]

What a coincidental post this is. We’re supposed to reflect back on our journey through the alphabet last month, yet the whole month I spent looking in the mirror and trying to find the positives within to reflect back at me through that mirror. I learned a lot about myself. I learned not to listen […]

As many of you know, I’ve been dealing with a lot of emotional stress these last few months. I really can’t believe it’s already the 5th month! MAY! What the heck. I had so many plans, so many goals. I wanted to get back to writing my novels this year since I’m actually going through […]

Happy Easter!  I’m slacking on my Update posts aren’t I?! Oh well. 🙂 Still dealing with meeting deadlines at work, taking TheHubs to doctor’s appointments and the ER in hopes of some relief (nada). Absolutely no time to do anything really. I’m so exhausted. My positivity is wearing so thin, I’ve caught myself frowning when […]

April Goals. Same as last month since March slapped me in the face…and I have a feeling this month will be no better. Work has taken all my personnel away from me but I still have the same deadlines. All work is falling onto me and it always comes in all at once. So I […]

It took me a very long time to realize this. I found it difficult to make, and keep, friends because of my situation, especially after TheHubs got out of the military. It took 15 years for me to find a group who “got it.” And now I know, I’m not alone. If you want to […]

It’s not been a very good month here. The pain my husband is dealing with. He still has the migraine started off with on March 4th, the one we went to the ER for a little over a week ago. He has yet to have any relief. And things just get worse. He’s now having […]

Spring is here! Spring is here! While all my northern friends are probably sarcastically laughing, wanting to punch me in my face, we are recovering from a few days of rain and a weeks worth of grey. The sun is peeking through with promises of clear skies, warm weather, and flowers. I love spring. It is […]

A month ago I was contacted by the publisher of The Veterans’ Voice asking for permission to publish my blog post regarding how I thought I was alone in caring for my husband — a disabled vet suffering chronic pain, daily migraines, PTSD, and more. I received the paper this past weekend and it is […]

This is the month I am determined to make writing on my WIP a habit again. Determined I tell ya! Maybe if I put the NinjaDino up as motivation??? If you haven’t seen my post over on WriteMotivation.org go….read it now…and join me in making this happen! I need all the poking I can get. […]

February Goals: Get back into my WIP. Writing words. Yeah, no. I’m going to attempt to read through what I’ve already written and start writing again in March. At least I have been writing a good deal of words over on my other blog! So that’s something. Continue to think positive and share my positivity with […]

  February Goals: Get back into my WIP. Writing words. Yeah, no. Though, I’ve been seeing signs that it’s time to go. There was a news article I read about Iran hacking the Navy’s largest unclassified network. Then someone posted an interview with a hacker on their blog. And then, I was watching one of my […]

I finished up my binge on Downton Abbey and I’m all caught up with everyone else. I had to do this before I went on my trip so I could talk about it with my friend seeing as she’s the one who lent me all the seasons! 😛 (I so want to go back to […]

Already this year is screaming by. I don’t know what it is about getting older. I remember how time used to drag on and on waiting for summer vacations, waiting for my next birthday, waiting for anything fun. A watched pot never boils was so very spot on then. Now, as an adult, there never […]
