Friday is here again and I’ve been enjoying my change of career to focus on the creative part of my brain. My body is tired today because our show circuit has begun. It’s a satisfied tired because my energy went into creating new art pieces instead of managing a group of adults. My background noiseContinue reading “Ghost Towns”

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”
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”
Local Inspiration
The past few weeks I’ve been on a journey to find inspiration again for my writing. My mind has meandered down different avenues to keep my fingers active and posting meaningful content. The fall season left me feeling like a change was necessary to break up the routine. As I brainstormed, I thought about findingContinue reading “Local Inspiration”
Labor Day
My day of rest turned into a working day. Instead of grilling hot dogs outside in the near 100 degree weather, I was making miniature hot dog earrings from clay in the comfort of my air conditioning. The end of our Minnesota State Fair went out with one of the hottest days of the year.Continue reading “Labor Day”
