After recently uploading my children’s book on Amazon, I wanted to check on its status. I have never been on a best sellers list before so this was exciting! Then I saw the number, my book is ranked as being the 240,901 best book. OK, so I am not in the top 100,000 but ifContinue reading “I have ranked on a”Best Sellers” List”

I thought I’d try my hand at digital art. I call this The Scream Heard Around the World. ~ Hope you enjoy it.

If you had the privilege to be an honoured guest at an amazing event that you have always dreamed of attending, your first thought may be ‘what will I wear?’ When we go to fancy places, or have an opportunity to see people we admire, we pay attention to how we present ourselves.

Likewise, “Put your head down!” teachers would say when they wanted a child to focus on their work. Heads up vs heads down. There areContinue reading “Heads Up!”

After we joyfully make a wish and playfully toss a penny in a wishing well we curiously watch where it lands before we walk away feeling satisfied. It isn’t long before distractions consume our thoughts. Long line-ups at the check-outs, noisy traffic, the neighbour’s cat clawing at your garden, etc. As days turn into weeks,Continue reading “A Penny For Your Thoughts”

So many young adults are struggling at the fork in the road. Which way should they go? They feel an urgency to decide today what their destiny will be.
