My rantings, musings, and the overall verbal diarrhea of optimism that leaks out of me.
Let me preface this post by saying that I don’t think there is such as thing as an intentional hypocrite. I strongly doubt that people wake up, get their morning coffee, and add “commit hypocrisy” to their to-do list for the day, right below “take out the trash” and “clean the gutters.” I believe most…
One of the things I’ve learned after nearly six years of marriage is that it’s not always perfect. It’s rarely the beautiful, singing-hand-in-hand-while-skipping-into-the-sunset sort of thing, despite what Hollywood would make you think. More often than not, marriage is a series of compromises, discussions, concessions, and sometimes full on pout-outs [primarily by the lady, I’m…
Every Thursday night, my husband and I compete in a coed kickball league. It’s a poorly organized group of friends who get together with the sole purpose of having a few beers, a few laughs and, if time allows, a few runs. The teams we play against range from the least competitive to the die-hard…
I started a new class on Monday entitled, “Publishing and Distribution.” As you can imagine, it’s all about… [wait for it]… publishing and distribution! Who knew? In this evening’s lecture, my professor expounded on the final project that we’re going to be working on throughout the class and delivery at the end: the creation of…
I’ve finally decided to take my own advice and launch a separate blog to detail the love-affair I have with food and my constant journey to live a healthy, nutritional life. As a forewarning, I’ll try to keep my optimistic tone in the majority of the posts, but I plan to be honest and forthcoming…
I wrote the first half of this post on the drive to Lake Whales, Florida at 7:30 this morning. The second half, I wrote on the drive home. Don’t worry – my husband was driving. Morning: In the predawn stillness of a chilly Saturday morning, an alarm clock sounded. The ridiculous cadence of a robot…
No, I didn’t go get a tattoo, Mom, so stop panicking. Different Perspective Productions, the marketing company I hired a few weeks back, has officially presented their logo pitch to me and I am IN LOVE! They absolutely captured my style, the essence of my work, and the overall tone and persona I wanted my…
My husband and I have been secretly house-hunting for several weeks. We’ve kept it quiet, mainly because we weren’t in a rush to find anything, as the lease on our condo isn’t up until August. We’ve basically just had our “feelers” out and have been researching properties, locations, and just getting an overall idea for…
OK, so, I did it! I managed to pitch the concept for my novel in less than three minutes, absolutely unscripted and with no editing after-the-fact. I’m a bit bubblier than I intended to be at the start of the video, but I think I toned down the enthusiasm by the end. In retrospect, I…
I just received an email from Priscilla at Different Perspective Productions letting me know that they already have a logo presentation ready for me! WOW! That was incredibly fast. Guess the pressure I put on Rob, their Creative Director, to produce something mind-blowing worked even better than expected. A less than 48 hour turnaround from…
