Quills, and New Year’s Resolutions, or not?
I was recently told by someone I greatly admire, “I don’t make resolutions, I make goals.” I had to pause a moment, for some reason that turned everything in my head around and the gears of my brain started to click. It had been such an accepted term all of my life, I never thought … Continue reading Quills, and New Year’s Resolutions, or not?
Serindipitie Creations Christmas Cards
Its always been a struggle for me to find a packaged set of Christmas cards that I like. The style of card I prefer is anything but traditional.

A Story About Dogs
I sat under my tree today. The prickly Acacia tree blocked out the sun. Its sparse leaves and thorns sheltered me from the 100-degree sun. My childhood dogs, all now six feet under, kept me company. A curl of my overgrown pixie haircut caught a puff of the wind and dangled over my eyebrow. Hair seems … Continue reading A Story About Dogs
A Regroup From The Camino
