Random Thought for Today

We’re all busy.  Our schedules look like something out of a horror film, and for every item we take off, someone puts two more on.  Grabbing a few minutes for ourselves is hard, and sometimes seemingly impossible.
And yet we are diverse women with broad interests and deep concerns.  We don’t want cotton candy for brains [...]

Having reached the downhill part of this broken wrist marathon and since the pain is all but gone, I’ve had time to reflect on the past six weeks of hell.  One of the things I’ve thought about is that one should never refrain from asking questions of the “in-the-know” (supposedly) people around one.

For my novel-in-progress REBUILD MY WORLD I’ve had to research photography.  My heroine is a renowned photojournalist who is recovering from a vicious attack.  I am an amateur shutterbug and thought I knew my way around cameras, but boy!

Like the majority of the people and families I know, I’m working class American, stretching my dollars as far as I can to accommodate higher fuel, food and utility costs with a paycheck that isn’t growing at all, let alone at a rate to keep pace with the increases.  I’m not complaining – I consider [...]

I really am a Motorcycle Mechanic. Back in the days before the Women’s Liberation Movement, I was working in my father’s diesel garage, cleaning parts and putting together – or taking apart – the things that I could physically manage. At home, I worked along side my brother, building motorcycles. I went to school for [...]
