About This Author
I am a 40 year old married mother of two teenage boys. I live for writing, especially romance. Love the happily ever after scenerio. The best thing about writing for me is the ability to lose yourself in your work, and feel as if you've accomplished something great. At the end of the day, that's all that really matters.

It's a Pisces Thing
Motivational Monday! Actor William H. Macy, born on this day in 1950, once said, "Everyone hooks up with George Clooney. He's a genuinely cool guy. He's using his powers for good." How are you using your powers for good?
Gotta love a fellow Pisces! Happy Birthday WHM.
Hmm, my powers. Do I have powers? Why does this feel like a trick question? 
Here at WdC I'm currently teaching two classes at "House of Sensual Prose "  by Purple Holiday Princess  , and assisting a third. My auction is running for 4 more days "March Madness Auction ~ CLOSED" by Purple Holiday Princess , and it's going to help benefit my contests and activities, as well as "The Quills" by Lilith 🎄 Christmas Cheer  , "The Weekly Quickie Contest" by Dawn Embers  , and "Kit's Contest and Awards Group" by Kitti the Red-Nosed Feline  . I believe in helping where I can, and these three deserve some extra funds so they can keep awarding others.
I'm also hosting "Write from the Heart Poetry Contest" by Purple Holiday Princess and "Tales of Seduction ~ Dec. Round OPEN" by Purple Holiday Princess . Speaking of Write from the Heart. The contest has really taken off, and though I only dabble in poetry, I love reading it. I'm fascinated by others abilities to invoke so much feeling in a small amount of words. I think it's time I expanded the contest and added some guest judges. So if any of you awesome poets out there are interested in running a round, just let me know. It runs twice a month. 
I also just signed up for "Secret Pal Initiation Room" by Kate - Writing & Reading  which will be a fun activity for April. I did Secret Santa, and the only thing that sucked about that is that I was overseas and sending things from my phone or iPad. I didn't get to do all the cool colors and pretty little added emoticons that I wanted to do. So whoever I get for this activity, hopefully will bear with me going a little crazy.
I did get to bid on an auction package that allowed me to collect a merit badge for myself, and gift a merit badge to 11 others. I just like showing others my appreciation for all they do. I may not be very chatty with everyone, may just only say a few words, but I watch and pay attention. It's always a good feeling to do something nice for others, to help out where I can.
Oh, and I got to be a judge for The Quills. You know I thought it was going to be easy?  Don't even ask me what I was thinking! I have my little WdC notebook filled with each category and remarks for each nominated item so I can keep them straight. Worst part was writing the words...loved it, fantastic. You'd think that wouldn't be that much of a problem, but it was. When you write that phrase more than 3 times in one category you are asking for trouble.
In my personal life I help out wherever I can. It may not be a lot, but all anyone really needs to do is ask for something and I'm there. That's just who I am. Being a Pisces and an Empath just makes it next to impossible for me to not jump in and help. I hate to see anyone struggling or upset. Even when I know I'm overextending myself, I can't seem to back away. I blame the Pisces in me. It's my catchall for when people ask me why I do things. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
