Thoughts on my mind

You’re allowed to leave any story you don’t find yourself in. You’re allowed to leave any story you don’t love yourself in. You’re allowed to leave a city that has dimmed your light instead of making you shine brighter, you’re allowed to pack all your bags and start over somewhere else and you’re allowed toContinue reading “Thoughts on my mind”

“THE YACHT AND I”

 Reality checks are the pits. Every time I have one (that I recognize – haha), I feel that “pit” in bottom of my stomach. Yesterday, as I was working on this post, the “Thoughtful Mind Inspiring Quote for April 28th, 2018” (that I receive each day by email) was the following, “All things are subjectContinue reading ““THE YACHT AND I””

(Yes, I know, the Atlantic was closer, but IContinue reading “TYPICAL MORNING WALKS – NOVEMBRE 2017”

#SmartAuthor “FIGURING THINGS OUT”

From one #SmartAuthor to others, I continue to be ‘berry beezy’ in France, figuring things out. It is not easy, being an expat. Each day is full of its own challenges in real life and online. Nothing is as it seems – like opening a door, flushing the john, turning on water, working an elevator,Continue reading “#SmartAuthor “FIGURING THINGS OUT””

#SmartAuthor WRITE THAT BOOK!! JUST DO IT!!

#smartauthor  I started writing in 2012. Well, that is not really true. I started writing when I was a little girl.  The first “Diary” I have is dated 1949.  I wanted to record things – thoughts, secrets, events. I want to spend time with my best friend – ME.  During the day, I “behaved” –Continue reading “#SmartAuthor WRITE THAT BOOK!! JUST DO IT!!”

NEW RELEASE: “JAYSPEAK ON THE COTE D’AZUR”

This book is dedicated to Steve.  We dreamed this dream together. Then, made eleven months of it a reality.  It is also dedicated to Andrea and Kate and the people who encouraged me to keep writing – Adria and Judi, are you listening? It never would have happened without all of you.  It started likeContinue reading “NEW RELEASE: “JAYSPEAK ON THE COTE D’AZUR””
