I have always wanted to go to California! I have a couple of friends who live out there and they love it! I actually went to L.A. a couple of years ago for a blog conference, but I didn’t get to venture out beyond the hotel and the area around the Staples Center. I did go on a walking tour, which was amazing, but there is so much to see in California besides downtown L.A.

I Write, Therefore I Am
“When talented people write badly, it’s generally for one of two reasons: Either they’re blinded by an idea they feel compelled to prove or they’re driven by an emotion they must express. When talented people write well, it is generally for this reason: They’re moved by a desire to touch the audience.” — Robert McKee I think I’m a talented writer who writes well, and in everything I write, I like to think that I do it out of a desire to touch the audience. I like to write stories that pull a reader in and engage them to either cheer […]

It is great to sit down for a few hours (or half the day) and click on link after link after link, and discover new things, new ideas, and new people. In the spirit of sharing, here are the link I love this month. If you’re like me, you love bath bombs, like the ones sold by LUSH. But did you know you can make them yourself?

Dah-ling I Love You but Give Me Park Avenue
“Green Acres is the place for me. Farm livin’ is the life for me. Land spreadin’ out so far and wide. Keep Manhattan, just give me that countryside. New York is where I’d rather stay. I get allergic smelling hay. I just adore a penthouse view. Dah-ling I love you but give me Park Avenue. …The chores. …The stores. …Fresh air. …Times Square. You are my wife. Good bye, city life. Green Acres we are there.” Green Acres was a popular show back in the late 1960s-early 1970s. I was born in 1973, but I remember watching this show as […]
