Update!!!!

I can't believe it's been a month since I last posted anything on my blog. I've been so behind on life - It's kinda amazing what happens when you become so busy with writing and adjusting to new things. I finally was able to land a full-time job at a local University. I finished writing a novel in just a month. I actually just finished editing the whole thing too! (And started to send it out to Publishers!) (This is what I designed myself - just to use for "getting you all excited for it" purposes!  I just wanted to apologize. I really want to get back into blogging, daily - as I had been doing in the past. It might give me something to look forward to! I just need to find that "something" to talk about. And I'd love to have more interactions with you - the audience! I'm still here! I'm still writing! I'm just trying to survive for the moment! I hope all is well <3 nbsp="" p="">

Throwback Thursday: 4-28-2016: Wesley Forest

Do you all recall a time in your life when you did something fun, and at the same time was a bit life-changing? That's how I would describe my time at Wesley Forest.  I spent the Summer of 2010 in the Woods of Weikert, PA  Where I was Craft Counselor at Wesley Forest I might not have known it at the time, but it had a profound effect in my life - for the better.  I found a comfort in the woods - in nature - that I had never experienced before.  And I met some AMAZING people - whom I still have in my life.  (Photography © GlenRichards) I thought to share the video I created of my summer - so you all could see how awesome it was.  (Photography © GlenRichards)

Writing Wednesday: 4-27-2016

Welcome to Another "Writing Wednesdays"  Today I thought I'd share a few poems with all of you! _______________________________________________ Radishes I cut my long hair with my mother’s dull scissors. The rusty brown flecks of metal and iron, fall with my golden locks, straight and split ends, over my shoulders, clogging the sink drain. You called me beautiful in the moonlight glow— shining through my blue taffeta curtains. This was the last time you called me by name; the last time you used my hair to climb to me. We took the elevator—instead of the stairs, the pulsing lights for each floor, blinking into our eyes as we push anything to go down, down… We escaped with the plan to go to your house, across the field of lakes and green grass, where we shared a kiss and the promise of sunrise to the north. I would never be alone again. I could walk in the grass barefoot. The rain on the windshield
