Dear friends: Protect yourself using what ever tools are available to you and fit within your moral/spiritual guidelines, protect others who don’t have access or who are not able to protect themselves. Pay attention, resist, and stay in it, stay here. The world is a better place with you in it.

This is my vibe today.

My pupper enjoying the snow reminding me to take some time to do things we love even when life is sideways.

These sea lions yelling at each other is what it’s like inside my head as my characters have gone way off script and I’m trying to wrap this draft up by the end of this month

My fish just chilling under the ice. I’m always amazed at their ability to adapt to the winter water temps.

It’s been awhile! Happy to be back! Sharing this bit of beauty I found going through my photos. I love finding these gems- it reminds me to look for beauty in the world.

I highly recommend to read Jae’s blog. I love being a beta reader& for me it’s an honour if an author trusts me with their work. One thing I always try to be is honest but kind in my feedback. Just like I know in the end it’s still the authors book & my suggestions are “only“ suggestions.

Molly is stoked for the dashound races and costume contest this weekend. #woosterfest

This Monday is made better because I'm going through the ridiculous number of photos I took at the College of Wooster parade this weekend that featured 60 Scottie dogs. So many dogs, so many pictures.
