Sunday Chapters – Life Between the Lines: The Beauty of the Rise
“Not all resurrections are loud. Some happen in silence, in stillness, in the decision to try again.” In last week’s essay, Becoming the Story, I wrote about the power of naming your dream—how we stop waiting for permission and start claiming who we already are. That essay came from a very real place in my heart……

Feel-Good Fiction: The Unexpected Power of a Good Story
There’s something irresistible about fiction that feels like a friend. Whether you’re curled up with a romantic thriller, a beachy escape, or a heartstring-tugging drama, the right story has a way of settling your spirit and stirring your soul.

The Magic of Sprayed Edges: When Books Become Art
There’s a quiet kind of thrill that happens when you unwrap a new book. That satisfying weight in your hand, the whisper of turning pages, the scent of possibility. But every so often, a book offers a little extra—a detail that makes you pause before diving in. Sprayed edges. They’re the literary equivalent of icing…

Sunday Chapters – Life Between the Lines: Becoming the Story
“You don’t just write the story. You are the story.” In my last essay, The Light That Finds Us, I wrote about how we spend so much time searching for clarity, not realizing that the light we’re looking for often finds us when we stop trying so hard to chase it—and simply stand still long enough…

Sunday Chapters: Life Between the Lines – The Light That Finds Us
There’s a rhythm I’ve come to trust—one that lives not on the clock or in the calendar, but deep within the quiet spaces of our lives. This rhythm doesn’t shout. It doesn’t rush. But it moves, nonetheless, carrying us from moment to moment, chapter to chapter, season to season. When I began this essay series…

Sunday Chapters – Life Between the Lines: Roots Before Blooms
“Just because it’s not visible yet doesn’t mean it’s not growing.” Last week in The Winds of Change, I wrote about transformation—the quiet nudges and bold gusts that move us to take action, to let go, to begin again. Change has a rhythm like that. Sometimes it’s loud and insistent, demanding movement. But not all growth…

Sunday Chapters – Life Between The Lines: The Winds Of Change.
Sundays have a way of settling the soul. They offer a quiet kind of magic—a deep breath between what was and what’s coming next. A space to pause, to reflect, to listen to the pull of something more. Last week, in The Garden Within personal essay, I talked about patience. About how the best things in…

Crush Your Goals The Pomodoro Technique Way
Admittedly, I’ve never been big on productive, I’ve gone with the flow. I keep things pretty simple. I write a daily to do list with things I need to get done and then I start hustling. My father introduced me to the Pomodoro Technique years ago but I never implemented it until this past month,…

Book Review: How To Make A Living As A Writer
Writing Book Review I’ve been very fortunate to have a life where I have constant access to hundred’s of books. Books and writing have always been a passion of mine. It wasn’t until my 40’s that I got enough courage to actually start writing. Inspired to act on reading about an author who got a…
