It’s my hope that this website, which I founded in 2009, will become a regular source of inspiration, encouragement and comfort for you. We’re old friends here, and I’ve got stories to tell (and things to share). So grab a cuppa (or a glass) and stay a while.

While blogging is how I started my out-loud writing career, my debut novel, Yeah, maybe was released in 2014 and became an amazon bestseller. See more novels from me under “books.”

Stuff & Things: The One Where I Break Up With Best Buy

Gather round, it's story time. So I got a Fitbit Charge HR for Christmas.  It's what I wanted, and having had a Fitbit flex for over a year, I knew I'd be happy with it.  The one I got had a malfunction and stopped charging properly.  No big deal.  I called Best Buy to...

 Mama, indie author, wife, believer and friend.

My only hope is that while you’re here, you feel a sense of belonging, comfort and empowerment. Because life is too short to live it worried you’re not good enough.
