Minnesota Heat Waves

Heat waves and thunder is the normal rhythm of this summer. Instant sweat appears on our skin one day and thunder is never far behind. My parents used to say that someone is bowling in the sky during the storms and I always picture the lightening as a strike. I think there’s been a tournamentContinue reading “Minnesota Heat Waves”

Minnesota Summer

Summer in Minnesota means getting into your car and having your makeup begin to melt before the air conditioning didn’t cool off the inside. The humidity up here can make your skin prune without taking a bath. It’s like being in a sauna while your outside trying to enjoy the outdoors. We put up withContinue reading “Minnesota Summer”

Letting Go

It took me a couple of days to let go of my pen last week, and finally take a rest. Instead of cramming in other projects I binged on some young adult summer romance movies on NetFlix and relaxed. My only hobby over the weekend was napping and trying not to feel guilty about itContinue reading “Letting Go”

Colors of Character

Ideas are floating in my head and I’m trying to find an anchor for one of them to get a few projects completed in the next few weeks. I have the job of creating a simple logo but it’s not so simple. Taking a design and stripping it down to it’s core element has neverContinue reading “Colors of Character”

Work Life

The 4th of July ended with the sunshine instead of the early morning rumbles of thunder. The loud rolling woke me up early and I laid listening to the loud storm throw thunderbolts through the sky. I didn’t bother to look out the window. The whole weekend has been gray and drizzly. The sunset atContinue reading “Work Life”

Happy 4th of July

The beginning of our week is starting out with a bang, sorry I couldn’t resist. Happy 4th of July! I hope you got your fill of celebratory food and extra time to get in some writing. Most of us in Minnesota spend this weekend outdoors, around the campfire, and at the lake. Our overcast skiesContinue reading “Happy 4th of July”

Late Night Post

The clouds moved in over the weekend as we drove to another flea market to take a look at future options. Our umbrellas joined the pop-ups as we walked through the aisles of forgotten memories. I found a rickety old work cart that had potential to be turned into a food stand for my miniaturesContinue reading “Late Night Post”

July Is Here!

The first of the month is here and we’re moving into a long holiday weekend. Happy 4th of July early! The roads of Minnesota will be lined with those heading to cabins and weekend getaways hoping to soak in the sun. Whether or not our weather will cooperate up here is always a gamble. I’llContinue reading “July Is Here!”

Manifesting Dreams

This week I’ve turned into the midnight writer again because my fingers just didn’t want to go earlier in the day but I’m still hear. I feel like a Cinderella writer but the difference is that when the clock strikes midnight, I turn into the fairytale writer. Maybe I need to manifest a large increaseContinue reading “Manifesting Dreams”

Vending Machine Day

Last night, I needed to unwind after a long day of cleaning up my mess after my event and rescuing some free furniture that was calling my name. A little reorganizing and I made them a temporary home until I can figure out what I want to do with them. To my surprise my husbandContinue reading “Vending Machine Day”

Summer Blues

I made through the past few years with a few minor illnesses and avoided the big one despite having to go in for testing 4 and now my 5th time. This is the one time I’m crossing my fingers to be negative about something. Regardless, I’m under the weather and my post is a littleContinue reading “Summer Blues”

Mother Nature In Minnesota

I’m at my writing post again like clockwork and my eyeballs feel like they’ve been under a hairdryer for 8 hours. This weekend my biggest challenge was Minnesota weather and participating in an open flea market that had no wind barriers around a large open field. I set up my tent in the early morningContinue reading “Mother Nature In Minnesota”
