• I made my first ever $10.25USD as a writer :)

  I saw on a fellow blogger’s site that she had made over $1000USD on a site called “Medium” where her blogs earnt money. The 5-year-old that lives in my heart was all “Yaaaasss!!!

• #Bloganuary – What’s my dream job?

  What’s your dream job? My whole life, I’ve wanted to be a Kindergarten Teacher. I love children and even when I was a little girl, I’d set my bedroom up as a classroom and teach younger children everything I knew, bless my heart. As a teen, I was always involved with kids clubs and after-school…

• Bloganuary – What chore do you find the most challenging to do?

  #bloganuary #bloganuary11 #bloganuary2023 #Housechores #moppingsucks #sweeping #damnit Chores, you say? Well. This ALL depends on how my mental health is tracking, really.

• New Year’s Eve

  Raaaaaa. Where to even begin? So much has happened in the last 4-6 weeks, I don’t even know how to tell you all about it without going on a huge RANT and boring you to death, lol. Let’s just say it’s been an emotional rollercoaster that I have wanted to jump off many times, but…

• My first “Book Coach” meeting…and 2nd guesses

  I wonder if God places people in our paths or if He lets us wander and whoever we meet, He’ll use that situation to help us grow? In my case, I found a great “Book Coach” who specialises in Memoir which is great because that’s what I’m writing (woohoo). Annie lives in Colorado and has…

• For Shanti…a shining star in a dark storm

  As writers, we live lonely lives. We write and we try to share our hearts on paper (or in these times of modernity online) but there is always that fear – that worry – firstly of “Is anyone going to read this?”, then the anxious thoughts of of “Will they like it?” when really we…
