Who doesn’t like curling up with a good book and a cuppa comforting tea…or perhaps a scrumptious scone (or three)? This blog post is for you, o seekers of creature comforts. Read on! The Teashop Mysteries by Laura Childs have one obvious pairing: tea. But why not matcha the book-a with the-a corresponding tea-a? (/phony… Continue reading Book and Food Pairings

3 Benefits of Past Pain
Everyone has had pain in their life in some form. For some it’s been fleeting physical pain—maybe a broken bone or a black eye. Or maybe, like me, it’s an ongoing battle with mental anguish with, hopefully, the worst of it behind them. There’s a verse in the Bible that says that all things work… Continue reading 3 Benefits of Past Pain
Watching THE WITCHER
I’ve been watching a show based on a series of books. Perhaps you’ve heard of…THE WITCHER? Magic and medieval-ish costumes and monsters and a brooding hero equals fun, albeit some nudity, sex, adult language, and a very confusing timeline. Really confusing. Like, it took me three episodes to figure out that we’re moving back… Continue reading Watching THE WITCHER
What I’m Listening to: January 2020
Right now, I’m working on the first draft of book three of The Goblets Immortal series. While I write, I’ve been listening to some pretty awesome music that I thought I should give a mention. Here, in no particular order, are the artists and the songs that I’ve been playing: Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da (cover) by Gabriela… Continue reading What I’m Listening to: January 2020
What I’m Reading: January 2020
My TBR (to be read) pile keeps growing, but I need to finish what I’ve started reading, which has proven difficult lately. Don’t get me wrong. It’s nothing to do with the books I’m reading—per se. I think I just have a small case of reader’s burnout. Ugh. Here’s what I’m reading: PRAY BIG by… Continue reading What I’m Reading: January 2020

New Year, Non-negotiable Goals
We've said farewell to a decade, guys! It's the '20s again, and that is cause for celebration. I considered attending a Roaring '20s NYE party, but I'm not big on crowds. Or booze. Or being out late, for that matter. Did you y'all do anything fun to ring in the New Year? Kiss someone… Continue reading New Year, Non-negotiable Goals

Mental Illness and the Holidays
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas, Chanukah, Kwanza, the New Year, Festivus (my spell check recognizes that word, huzzah.) I celebrate Christmas, Jolabokaflod*, New Year’s Eve, and New Year’s Day. I also have several disorders that I’m coping with. And I’m an introvert…or maybe just very shy. OCD + clinical depression +… Continue reading Mental Illness and the Holidays
Christmas Movie Bingo
Hey, everyone! I've been thinking about all of the Christmas movies I have watched throughout the years, and was wondering: who else has seen what I've seen? Soooo...I've decided to do a game of Christmas movie bingo. Whoever gets five in row going up and down, side to side, or diagonally, gets bragging rights and… Continue reading Christmas Movie Bingo
