How many times have you moved in your lifetime? I get dizzy just thinking about our moves. Growing up, my parents bought their first home when I was just a few months old. Of course, I don’t remember that move. But I remember when they bought this house in 1969. I was five and getting … Continue reading Moving Forward

I used to say, I'm a singer/songwriter. Now I just say I'm a creative. I take joy, and in entertaining, writing music, collaborating with other artists, and singing various genres of music. As an artist, photographer, writer, poet, and musician, I'm a romantic, expressing my art in a way that will change someone's attitude about themselves, about God, and about life.

Writing Well
Today, while checking out writing sites, I ran across one for writing contests and the copy was full of spelling errors. Ugh! Let’s be professional people, so you will be taken seriously. Writing full-time or as a part-timer takes practice like any other art form. Creativity comes naturally to some, but even if you write … Continue reading Writing Well

Yesterday was a balm to my soul. When was the last time I had lunch out with girlfriends? A crazy long time. I miss it so much. I see these ladies almost every Sunday, but we get little time to chat. As a social person, the first year of the pandemic irritated me. Soon, I … Continue reading Lunch
