The Indie Life: Deadlines

I’ll admit – there are times I wonder if the dreaded “D” word is a curse or a blessing. On one hand, I love deadlines. I thrive, flourish, write my best work all while being on a deadline. I find without one, I tend to take my time writing, I will spend time on Facebook or Twitter or creating covers or promo items for myself or other people. I’ll read …Read More

Love on first sight. It is real. It’s super easy to make and tastes delicious! The only caveat I’d say is that the chocolate doesn’t set like a regular fudge – it’s a bit soft – softer than the peanut butter part – but I promise you, it won’t matter!Especially when it’s on Facebook and it’s a recipe that combines peanut butter and chocolate. I keep this in the freezer …Read More

We All Need a Girlfriend In Our Lives

Without my girlfriends, I’m not sure how sane I would be.  They help keep me grounded when I’ve run out of chocolate and my hormones are out of whack. They’ve saved my marriage more times than I could ever count. They help me to see the beauty in myself when I get lost. They make me feel like I’m the smartest person in the world – even if they thought …Read More
