Life, Death and Body Sharing with Guest Blogger Amanda Ashby
Wow, I love balls – well, not that I’ve ever been to a real one before, but I’m sure that if I had, then I would’ve loved it. And besides, tiaras are so totally my color!!! Anyway, since the Debs have been kind enough to let me loose on this lovely blog I thought I’d [...]
Keeping My Feet on the Ground
Bear with me now: I’m having a moment. An Earth, Wind and Fire moment, that is. Bars of “September” are running through my head, followed by “Got To Get You Into My Life” and “Boogie Wonderland.” And then “Let’s Groove” … ah, I’m having major flashbacks at the moment – you can almost smell the [...]
It’s a Writer’s Life For Me

Astrology — just like the I Ching, dreams, “coincidences,” Chinese fortune cookies, [...]
A Numbers Game
Who would have thought that after all the angst surrounding the dream of publication (one I’ve had for a LONG time, as in … forever), I would let my debut novel out into the real world under a pseudonym? The reasons why are long and varied (you can get the entire 411 from my website), [...]
On Aging
Could this week’s post be more apropos? Because I just realized that my post from last week was technically the post we were supposed to write on a month ago. HELLOOOO!! Sheesh! There are so many things I could blame it on, but really, I have noticed a definite drop in my mental capacity the [...]
Secret Indulgences
My secret indulgence would put Deidre to shame. I give you Exhibit A: the powdered donut. And not just any powdered donut. It’s got to be a mini, it’s got to be completely processed and devoid of any nutritional value, and it’s got to come in a windowed box of 12 or 24, clumps of [...]
