About This Author

Contact Me

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.

Poisoned Purple Pen

She sat down at her old wooden desk, pen at the ready. Her thoughts raced. What shall I write today? Tilting her head to the side, a small smile tugged at the corner of her mouth before enveloping her delicate face. The purple ink began to fill the once blank sheet, each stroke a labor of pure joy as the words flowed from her mind, her heart, her very soul.

My Dreams...

to write of romance and endless love
to love without boundaries
to learn from past mistakes
to laugh with all my heart
to be the woman I am meant to be

TODAY...

I will reach for the stars

Will not give up

Will give all that I have

Dare to dream the impossible dream

For anything in this life is possible

<---I am blown away by this

GPS when my husband is driving but for me primarily photos. I take lots of pictures of my cats and my grandchildren.

Same here - My phone is my camera, GPS, Bank card, Travel Agent, 24 hour store, MP3 player, social organizer, Encyclopedia, Calculator, Take Away Delivery Service, as well as communication device. The one thing I don't do much on my phone is come on WDC - it's more time consuming and difficult to type on a phone especially adding emoticons!

Me too! I did not rush to own and use a cellphone, but once I had one it became indispensable. Like you say, it holds and does everything! Mine stores thousands of photos most of which are the four grandgiggles. I also bank online with it. I have never played games on it nor do I store music tracks. Haha! The landline phone is indeed vintage. Who would have imagined a pocket device could contain so much?

Almost party time! I agree, it's way better to be positive and to find cause for cheer wherever and whenever we can!

SandraLynn I swear it's like we're surrounded by negativity. The only way to turn it around is to start with yourself, so I'm choosing that route. Let's hope it works!

JACE I love how you haven't aged me since 2008! Why that's fantastic. I'll take it.

Running a business is not an easy endeavor. I had mine for 32 years. I never considered doing anything else, so I was never in the position to sell. But I did go through the down-turns and worries. That was enough.

I wish you the best in all your business endeavors.

I like your birthday-high attitude. Why focus on the doom and gloom? Be Dancing anywhere, anytime.

Tariff Wars

Prompt: How are the newly imposed tariffs affecting you? Did you realize how many products we use everyday aren't grown or created in the states or in Canada or Mexico ?

I'm a day late and $1 short. I meant to do this last night, but time escapes me during Ramadan.

As a struggling small business owner, I'm terrified.

It's honestly appalling how we are treating our neighboring countries who've always supported us. Mexico and Canada sent firefighters to California, and this is their thank you. I had the news on, and I saw his little "if they impose tariffs on us, we will tariff them the same." Hello! You started this. Now he's acting like it's tit for tat, but he's the victim.

I realize that candy, pop, water, and cigarettes come from inside the US, but who's to say that the materials used in manufacturing these products aren't imported from elsewhere? Aluminum, glass, etc. The US has outsourced so many things that it's impossible to keep up with the items we import that go into manufacturing our essential goods.

I live in Michigan, and with Canada fighting back [yes, that's how I see it], I keep waiting to hear that my electricity will be shut off.

I do know that the avocados are coming in from Mexico, and the tariff on that will be felt.

I already know the auto parts cost and markup for our customers. These tariffs will affect car parts imported from Germany, Canada, Mexico, and other regions. It's unavoidable unless someone comes to their senses.

Brace yourselves. It's going to get bad unless the stock market crashes and he's held to account.
