Peek Inside: “Surviving Sue” – Heal, Grow, Help
Hi there! I have a little inspiration to share with you today. I love this anonymous quote: In four super-short sentences and a mere eleven words, that quote describes my current state of being as a writer. Heal. Grow. Help. Yep.

Peek Inside: “Surviving Sue” – Weight of Lies
Never did I imagine writing a post that would link my mom, Sue, with Dostoevsky, yet here I am. Doing just that. Let me explain, by starting with a quote from “The Brothers Karamazov”: “A man who lies to himself, and believes his own lies, becomes unable to recognize truth, either in himself or in…

Publishing = Panic at the Disco?
No, no. Not the band of the same name, “Panic at the Disco”. I’m referring to a silly moment in my latest podcast with Wynne. What a treat it is – every time I visit with her. Even when the topic’s fairly serious, we find ways to have fun. 😎 In this week’s Heart of…

Peek Inside: “Surviving Sue” – Angels On My Path
One of the recurrent themes in the story of my mom’s life is the presence of empathy warriors – beautiful humans who stepped out of their comfort zones to provide support, despite the potential of triggering Sue’s wrath.
