holiday spirits
fester in the winter breeze
money’s not the cause

missions accomplished
all across the globe last night
poor old Santa Claus

blended families
tackle the hard questions now
no more pressing pause

soothsayers bend words
only to save broken hearts
we all have our flaws

To those of you who celebrate, may this Christmas be full of love, joy, strength, and peace for you and yours. I wish you the moon and its powerful glow, too.

Have you gotten your copy of my new book: a collection of serial tales & flash fiction, Séduire (E-Book and Paperback) yet?

Christmas Past

Christmas, five years ago.

Jernee: a few years back (five, to be exact) as we celebrated her being introduced to some new toys.

She was a bit more mobile back then and got much more excited, too. Now, she just looks about sort of with it and not with it, too.

But … she’s still bringing me so much joy. I hope this video does exactly that for you, also.

Peace and blessings.

Happy Holidays, Beautiful People!

If you celebrate this time of year, Jernee & I are wishing you a safe and happy holiday season.

May the upcoming year bless and keep you throughout each month.

Peace and blessings.

Because It’s Still the Little Things . . .

Homemade Gingerbread Cookies. One is me, the other is my sweet friend, Heejin. I love that she got the skin/cookie tones right. She’s Korean & Jewish.

I will always say, “It’s the simple things” in life to cause me to become my happiest. My beautiful and incredibly talented friend Heejin included homemade Gingerbread cookies in our care package this year, and I nearly teared up when I pulled them out of their bubble-wrapped packaging. I immediately sent her a text message to make sure they were indeed edible and not for decorative purposes only . . . I mean, I don’t want to eat them, they’re so perfectly crafted. She informed me that yes, I could eat them, and not only were they edible, but they were also made in our likeness. One is her, the other is me. I informed her again that I truly didn’t want to eat them even more now after learning this fact.

I am in awe almost daily of her undeniable talent. She never ceases to amaze me. I often think “What can I do to top Heejin? How can I give her the best gift?” But she continually tells me, our friendship is the best gift I could ever give her. Having her in my life is surely icing on the cake.

If you’re blessed enough to know true friendship, hang on to it–embrace it at every turn. I’d choose it over any monetary or tangible gift any day.

It’s truly the best.
