I wonder sometimes if this word may become worn out. Like taffy pulled too thin, or chocolate pie eaten too much, we hear this word bantered around in various ways and forms.

Book Readings & Winners!
My sweet sister coordinated some book reading events for me in Boone, NC. So on Tuesday of this week, I drove to my hometown where I grew up from age 5 through college.

Beyond Imagination
In the daze (days) following Saturday's Book Signing and Art Show, I haven't quite known how to blog about the event.

A Line for Maddie
Friends of ours who went to live overseas, said to those of us sending them off, that we were the ones holding the line on the other end for them. I loved that thought! And, as an artist, the idea that I hold one end of the drawn line as they "draw" the lines of … Continue reading A Line for Maddie
