Forever Changed
Bloganuary 2023 – # 10 ‘Has a book changed your life?’ My answer to this writing prompt is – ‘absolutely!’ I love to read. Admittedly, I was more of an avid reader when I was younger.

The Gift of Today
It is said the fear of Friday the 13th [Paraskevidekatriaphobia or friggatriskaidekaphobia] affects approximately 20 million people in America.

No Cuffing Here
Many like myself find it a task keeping up with the common slangs that evolve around us time after time. Cuffing is one that caught my attention recently. It is a term based on the idea of getting “handcuffed” or tied down to one person. The Urban dictionary defines the cuffing season as the ‘season inContinue reading “No Cuffing Here”
Peace Or Right
As we navigate the holiday season and move towards the new year we often do some inner reflection. As I age gracefully, being at peace has become so much more important to me than being right.
