Hidden Corners

Over the last few weeks I’ve travelled the world through YouTube and I’m still on the hunt for the perfect corner tucked away in the city of millions. I would like one quiet spot with a table, drinks at the counter, yummy pastries, and a decibel level that’s barely a whisper. People come and goContinue reading “Hidden Corners”

Update On My Journey After Quitting My 9 to 5

It’s been a few weeks since I quit my 9 to 5 to focus on growing my art and to be honest, I don’t know how I feel right now. The excitement of taking action on making a big change in my life has passed and there are times when I feel guilty for havingContinue reading “Update On My Journey After Quitting My 9 to 5”

Cat Prompt

Are you in need of a prompt today because you need some kind of focus? Since I quit my 9-5 I’ve been bouncing all over the place to clean, organize, and fit in a few new creations. I didn’t work crazy into workaholic mode because that was the point of quitting my 9-5. I wantContinue reading “Cat Prompt”

Announcement Day!

Monday morning is here and I can hardly sit still in my seat. I planned on getting up late but my body was too excited and I woke up around 6:00 am. The feeling today is so different than other days because I woke up feeling relaxed, instead of dreading the drive to work. I’mContinue reading “Announcement Day!”

Your Pen Talks- Do You Listen?

I know, nobody uses a pen to write anymore, but the image of people typing away on a computer just doesn’t do it for me. So, I’m going with the pen. … Your Pen Talks- Do You Listen? I know it’s been a while, as I’ve been on break from the Holidays. Rest and takingContinue reading “Your Pen Talks- Do You Listen?”

Silent Nights

Looking out the window in the dead of the night at the quiet streets that are strangely without the white sparkles in the moonlight. I blink a few times to make sure that I’m not hallucinating. A power bigger than myself listened to my prayer because I’m getting my brown Christmas. Yes, there might beContinue reading “Silent Nights”

Twin Cities Con 2023

I know a few weeks have passed since my last post but my world has been filled with life size cats, characters from The Never Ending Story, and very tall Chewbacca’s. I haven’t had that much time at the keyboard because my husband and I were getting ready for our very first Con of theContinue reading “Twin Cities Con 2023”

Cramped Spaces

Did you get in any spooky writing time this weekend? I was back at The Art Shoppe supporting other artists and writers in Minneapolis. My husband and I volunteer together to help provide support to other creators. Not to mention that they’ve been carrying my books and art pieces over the years. Joining a groupContinue reading “Cramped Spaces”

Fall Update

Fall is in full swing and I feel it’s going by in a blur. All the art and craft fair events are keeping my fingers busy and I haven’t had time to sit at my keyboard. Preptober already started and I realize that the commitment to my goal for my artwork doesn’t leave me timeContinue reading “Fall Update”

Out of Sync

This weekend I had to remind myself to be more patient so that my husband doesn’t have to witness the not so Minnesota nice words that spill out while I’m driving. The end of summer up here means unexpected construction projects and delays. Not to mention that my internal map and clock was off. IContinue reading “Out of Sync”

Rainy Day

I just love waking up to the sound of rain drops on the window and cloudy skies because it’s good writing weather. The best storms let out the the thunder. Up here, we’ve been running dry. A storm was just what we needed and it fits the fall theme. Some might call the rain miseryContinue reading “Rainy Day”

Lost In Minneapolis

Getting lost in my own city of Minneapolis, Minnesota, was like unlocking a time capsule. After we found parking around the corner from the Mill City Farmers Market, I felt like a child again and I was discovering all things around me. We passed the red sign for the Mill City Museum and stopped forContinue reading “Lost In Minneapolis”
