Relationships :: Let’s Talk Love.
Image courtesy of Flickr This is a good week to talk about being in love. Romance is only one of several aspects of intimacy. If the loss of romance has become a primary focus in a relationship, it is likely decoying you away from what is actually present. Meaning, focusing in a narrow way on what is missing is a sure-fire way to not only condemn your connection, but to also kill whatever has replaced the romance.

It has been so wonderful sharing Disneyland with my daughter and we have had season passes since she was old enough to walk. Last year my husband…

Instagram Inspiration :: “Your Dog has Dwarfism”

Come Celebrate Penelope’s 3rd Birthday with Us!
It seems like yesterday when I received the email from Lynette Mattke of PicPocket Books and said that they were interested in my children’s picture book, Penelope the Purple Pirate, and would like to make it into an app available on their platform. I was so excited because my dream of creating a children’s picture book and storybook app was finally coming true!
