• ~Art of Life~

  Dear Diary, my moments have been at the drawing board…delightfully sketching the images which will spark the imagination of  innocent hearts.  it is such a joy to see the story unfold~!  yes, i am well pleased with my progress. the monolith was subdued. it resides now on paper. my quill is victorious. the work was all consuming. painfully draining emotionally. but now, now i am free. this morning i looked at the calendar. i mean really looked ~ and the [...]

• ~Monolith~

  Dear Diary, today i kept hearing the word “monolith” over and over in my head. granted…it was my own voice saying the word, so i can take solace. so here is the word …what shall i do with it ~ for certainly it cannot simply sit unattended. no, it must be explored, charted, and conquered. my complacency is not acceptable. there is something calling to me…more than desire, it is a need. if i ignore this call…my sonnet will erode. [...]

• ~A Tender Heart~

  Dear Diary, i have so many reasons to be thankful. there are so many blessings that surround me. i treasure all of them and hold them dear. many of my beloved friends and family were so instrumental in helping me find my way to putting my creations in a book ~ to finally making that decision…to really acting on the decision and not simply dreaming about the task. all of those lovely people i hold most tenderly. there are several [...]

• ~The Book Has Arrived~

  Dear Diary, i want to let my friends know my joy ! …if they wish to have their ordered copy of ~Enigmatic Evolution~ signed….. they can privately message me with their email (so i can send an invoice) i will need their shipping addy. Shipping is straight fee will have no markup…they may ask for a certain “salutation” (for gift giving) or perhaps, they may want me write something from the heart, the choice shall be up to them entirely! [...]

• ~A Moment of Capture~

  Dear Diary, I love this quote : “The difficulty of literature is not to write, but to write what you mean.” Robert Louis Stevenson I dream… We all dream. We close our eyes and conjure the most magical of fantasy lands, we whisk ourselves away to the days of old, or push our senses into the future and dwell within the unknown. We tiptoe into the memories of our past and smile ~ or cry. Our minds become a personal [...]

• ~A Moment Of Darkness~

  Dear Diary, today i was washed into a cavern of self doubt. the darkness chided me. its  haunting voice strove to push me deeper into the black abyss. my body shuddered and the waves rolled over me, moving my body with their tide. i struggled, but to no avail. was this my end? then a voice~gentle and kind. caring and sweet. whispered and yet, that whisper was heard like a rampart. the voice’s power, shattered the waves. they became docile…and [...]

• ~The Horse’s Lead~

  ‎Dear Diary, …if the horse I am riding does not want to go in a certain direction…neither do I ~ this weekend, I am trusting my instincts. There are times that metamorphosis and change are good, they help me grow. But, there are times, when change is not beneficial. I pray for the ability to discern the difference. I pray the same for my readers and my friends. Words to mind…Quill to parchment… Pen A Note To The Muse Tweet

• ~A Gift From Papa~

  she ever so gently, shook the tiny gift, listening for a clue. the burlap wrap felt like velvet to her young hands. the box was sweetly tied with a ribbon, a tattered cream bow, she had seen her mother wear on “special days. the midnight “snow fell about the window pane ~ little winter’s kisses, rebuked….as they melted away. the cabin was cozy, she smiled watching the fire light shadows flicker about the room. in a moment it would be [...]

• ~A Veteran’s Day Prayer~

  Today I close my weary eyes… I see faces young and old. Men and women who are much more than bold. They are seeds planted deep within the land ~ An austere force of The Master’s hand No yield No quarter ~ shall they give The soldier dies so that we may live… Today, i am one of the many hearts and voices who whisper…thank you.

• ~Rejection and Acceptance~

  Dear Diary, Two different emails…two decidedly different “takes” on the same creation. Today I am pondering both ~  Absorbing both ~ Trying to grow from both…. Note #1  “This mis-guided view of the world can easily be labeled as uninformed, amateurish, and totally out of touch with the tribulations of the universe.” Note #2 “How you ever knew what to write today, is beyond me. But I will hold those words close to my heart. They are healing words. They [...]
