Autumn Around The Burg – 2020

Another autumn in The Middle and I have to say it is perfect. With all the uncertainty around the globe, our seasons here have been splendid. I have spent a lot of time pondering and trying to get motivated. Motivated to write, to paint, to create…… Let’s move on. The motivation is slow in coming.Continue reading “Autumn Around The Burg – 2020”

New Days Ahead

Isn’t it a most intriguing time? So what are you all doing while staying at home? My husband and I go for walks when the weather permits. I have baked so much that I don’t want to anymore, the freezer is full. My favorite part of this quarantine is to reflect on my life. ThisContinue reading “New Days Ahead”

Could I Have a Do-Over?

Well, this New Year started off a wee bit off-kilter for me. I came down with a cough and a little congestion right before the clock struck twelve. Great timing. Since I filled myself with immune builders it could have been a lot worse. Instead, it dragged slowly on and I shared it with myContinue reading “Could I Have a Do-Over?”

The End of Another Year

I’m sitting here, typing, and listening to Surfing USA by the Beach Boys, in the middle of my country. You just can’t take the beach out of a Jersey Shore Girl. While contemplating the beginning of another year I must reflect on the last year. There. Done. Now on with the new. We had ourContinue reading “The End of Another Year”

You Want Me To Do What?

It has been a while since I wrote on here. I started this new painting journey and it took me away for a bit. I am back and I am still painting. That has been both fun and scary. I try to relax when I create, otherwise, it becomes drudgery instead of joy. I wantContinue reading “You Want Me To Do What?”

A Little Trouble

I haven’t posted in a while and I’ll tell you why. It’s a bit silly, but I find myself in a quandary. I was told I used all my media space on this site. I had no idea there was a limit. I love to take photos or attach some sort of media to my words.Continue reading “A Little Trouble”

To All You Writers

I follow this site daily and found this to be one that is to be shared. So to all the poets, the book writers, bloggers, podcasters and the like……. Pen to Paper – your Lion Bites word for today God is calling the writers and even those who know that there is a book withinContinue reading “To All You Writers”

In The Middle

It’s been ten years now since we moved from the east coast to The Middle. All but the last four and a half years were in the South Kansas City area and the current in a quaint town about an hour outside of KC. I finally feel at home. The USA is vast, miles wiseContinue reading “In The Middle”

A New Thing

As a child I was encouraged to be creative……sort of encouraged. My mom was a creative person, but her way of encouraging me was to have me watch John Gnagy, our version of Bob Ross. She bought pads and pencils and I was left to figure out if I was able to draw or not. ThatContinue reading “A New Thing”
