Lately, I’ve been reading more than I have been writing. It’s odd to find myself in this predicament. I read Laura Davis’ book The Last Thing He Told Me in 2 days. I stayed up all night the 2nd night just to finish reading it, and then threw the book because I was so mad …
Sorry for the MIA. So much has happened since my last blog post. I lost my domain name. Apparently some foreign retail store now has it. They are benefitting from the traffic that I had worked many years to create. I’m mad about that, but I refuse to pay them for the return of my …
It has been some time since I wrote or things have been normal for me. We have been currently displaced and will be for some time, though I do hope by next week we will have some sense of normalcy until we can find a permanent place to call home. I didn’t think that I’d …
This week I allowed something to sidetrack my progress. Everything was going well. I made two sales, and I sent those out early, but when I decided to create some new items, it completely stalled my progress.

I sympathize a lot with my students who become easily distracted over the smallest of issues, and when you have those same …
I sat down yesterday morning and worked on my To Do list for the day, but it wasn’t long before I decided I really needed to go to Hobby Lobby to see if they had what I needed. That was my first mistake. They didn’t have it, but instead I ended up wandering around the …
During the course of this long weekend, I actually made several huge steps towards progress. On top of launching 2 more websites, I started designing and prepping another. I should have it up and running in a few weeks. I decided, why slow down now? I think I’ll be able to find the extra time …
Lately it seems as if the whole world is out of focus. I want to blame much of it on my depression, but I know that some of it has to do with the decisions I have to make regarding moving forward with my teaching career. That in itself did not help with the depression. …
I realized just recently that my schedule went to pieces the moment I went back to work after the stroke. Ever since, it has been difficult to get back into a routine. I’ve been exhausted physically, mentally, and emotionally. Most days I just come home and crash. I suppose those sorts of things happen. It’s …
