I am, as you can see by the time of this posting, an early riser. As of now, I have been up for three hours, most of which were spent writing in my journal and morning pages.Today, I am off to LA, on Southwest airlines, and my beautiful daughter, Wendy, will be...

"One Last Look" is on its way to you, in trucks and airplanes, right this very minute!It is a romantic suspense, so there is a lot of both those things. Murder and mayhem, and some really hot love scenes.What do I love most about Tony and Clare?Their can-do,...

Tony and Clare will arrive!What makes them special? I've thought about that a lot. They are people who "stand up on the inside". In the face of adversity, they still dream. They still persist. In moments of joy, they celebrate. Even though they are fictional...

I just ordered groceries online for the first time. Wow! No driving, parking, pushing a cart through a crowded store. No lugging the stuff from the Avalanche to the kitchen once I get home!I am so jazzed!Maybe it's the approaching New Year, but I'm in the mood to try...

I love Saturday mornings.I used to sleep in--alas, Sadie and Bernice, my dogs, do NOT sleep in, so I don't either, but still, it's lovely to wake up with nowhere I have to go. The cards and packages have been sent, and I'm looking forward to spending Christmas in LA...

My good friend, Debbie Macomber, always chooses a theme word for each new year. She explores the meaning of that word, in her journals, in her prayers, in her life. She celebrates and honors the word, and claims the quality for her own. (Did I mention that Debbie is...

What a marvelous time I had!Debbie and I had lots of girl time, and since she's a really inspirational person, I came away walking on air.We talked. We shopped. We laughed. We shared our hearts.On Wednesday, we attended a luncheon with such stellar names as: Jayne Ann...

I'm off to the Seattle area tomorrow morning to spend a few days with my good friend, Debbie Macomber. We're going to laugh, and probably cry a little, too. We're going to talk, in depth, about things that really matter. We're going to eat and shop and drink good...

Sorry about not writing a blog. I've been down, but not out, with a bug.Plenty of good things going on, though. I had lunch with my sister, Pam, yesterday, at PF Chang's, and we did a little medicinal shopping afterwards at Barnes and Noble.I've made an offer on my...
