I normally wouldn't share a post about what's been happening so far this year, but I was inspired by a fellow author who does a Mid-Year Check In/End of the Year Check In and thought it would be a great chance to start my new posting schedule. Anyon...

Things I Don't Want Anymore

Hi! It's me, again. I thought it would be nice to switch things up a bit and talk a little about the things I don't want anymore...This post isn't meant to be a rant, but instead a piece to inspire you to take a look at your own lives and consider w...

Letting it Go: The Newsletter

Whew! Things have been INSANE around here so it make sense as to why I haven't been blogging lately. It makes me sad, to be honest with you. I miss writing. This blog was meant to be a back-up plan since school, work, and life has caused me to have ...

Rebuilding My Author Presence

In November of 2025, I made the decision to step back from social media and work towards building an author business behind the scenes. What this meant was I would delete all of my social media accounts (which I did), and focus on both my grad work ...

Counting The Blessings

I've noticed lately that some of my reflective posts have sounded a lot like I'm ungrateful. I wanted to take this moment to count my blessings because while there are some decisions I've made that feel heavier on the hard days, I'm incredibly fortu...

Nine Days to Forty-Three

Earlier this year when I was drafting the last draft of my memoir about my time as a military spouse, I realized that in just a span of a 43 years, I have Iived what has felt like 43 lifetimes. As someone who has big feelings, sometimes bigger than ...

When Life Burns You Out

Hey Readers, It’s been a couple of weeks since I posted a blog. I’ve been working behind the scenes, and over the next six months I’ll be figuring out a regular schedule for these posts. This time away has given me some clarity about where I want to...

Between Chapters

As many of you know, a few months ago I decided to scrap my online life and step back in the shadows. Doing this had many purposes; the biggest one being I wanted to get back to writing and stop pretending like I was this author that everyone loved....

February Reading Round-Up

February brought a number of books into my life, and while there are only eight for this month, it was still an interesting mix of reads. Check out the books themselves below and let me know in the comments ones you've added to your TBR or have alre...

Songs Behind The Story

This year has been one where I’ve stepped back and worked behind the scenes while processing where the road is taking me. I thought doing this would be difficult. That I'd lose readers because I wasn't posting on social or trying to boost posts and ...

After The Storm

In my last post, Grief Over Loss, I reflected on a painful moment that recently happened in my personal life. While it was important to share that post, I also want to make sure my blog offers readers a helping hand if they are dealing with somethin...

Grief Over Loss

Loss. Goodbye. End. Three words that mean the same thing in different contexts. One of my favorite movie quotes is, “I'm tired of living without really living. I'm tired of wanting things. We can't have a lot of things. But we could have this,”...

January Reading Round-Up

Each year I participate in the Goodreads Reading Challenge, where I set the number of books I want to read for the year and track my progress. Other than adding books to my “Want to Read” shelf and tracking the books I do read to reach my goal, that...

Faith Over Fear

Lately I’ve been carrying a strange kind of fear. Not the dramatic kind, though I suppose that depends on how you look at it. It’s more of a quiet heaviness that sits in the background of my days and makes itself known when everything gets still. Th...

A Quiet Start To 2026

In 2025, I hit a breaking point with my writing. It was like I took a giant, unintentional leap into quicksand with only a sliver of hope to drag me out. Looking around at what I was doing with my writing business, I realized that while I was slowly...

A Day At The Writing Desk

Picture a middle aged woman who rises from her bed, dressed in a pair of maroon pajama's, messy hair and a craving for a good cup of coffee. After a quick shower, a little make-up, and a quick swipe of a toothbrush across her teeth, she settles...

Where Would You Time Travel?

Let me first say, Welcome to the Blog! I've missed blogging and during this year of transition, rebranding, and thinking about where I want to go as an author, one thing I am sure of us that I want to blog about life. So, welcome and thank you ...
