Is it just me, or are all fictional male characters suddenly 6'5" or taller? When did this become the standard? 🤔 Don’t get me wrong—if tall guys are your thing, that’s awesome! But personally, I’m not super into the idea. Give me a relatable height any day! 😂

✨ Wishing you a New Year filled with adventures that speak to your soul, opportunities that spark joy, and moments of rest to renew your spirit. May your journey this year take you to new places, whether through travel or the pages of a good book. Here's to all the magic your heart can hold. 🌟

Wishing my German family and friends ein frohes und friedliches Weihnachtsfest! Und einen guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr!🌟

Growing up in Germany, Christmas Eve was always the day for celebrating—decorating the tree, gathering with family, unwrapping gifts, and sharing a festive meal. May your evening be filled with warmth, love, and a little bit of that Christmas Eve magic! 🌟

Sunday morning treat. A nice frothy bulletproof coffee. Yum.

I’m so excited—I just booked a 2025 cruise to Norway as a surprise for my mom’s 75th! Norway was on my dad’s bucket list, and he visited before his unexpected passing (without my mom). By chance, our itinerary—a decade later—matches some of the places he went. I love how the universe works.

A pop of color. Just because.

Making sure everyone has a valid passport that doesn't expire soon. Keeping more cash on hand. Staying connected with the neighbors who support the new regime, so I know what the plans are. Waiting; as my German grandmother who was a WWII survivor used to say, "you can rebuild it later."

Graphic with a background of blooming white flowers against a soft, blurred green and blue backdrop. The text reads: 'Hello Thursday' in bold white letters, followed by the quote, 'Never give up on a dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway.' —Earl Nightingale.

Sometimes, things don't go as planned or take longer than expected (like my paranormal vampire-shifter romance), and it feels like progress is taking forever—but why not keep going?

Happy Veterans Day to my husband, a 30-year U.S. Army veteran. My appreciation for you is deep, but my admiration and love are even deeper. And to all the other men and women having served or currently serving our country: Today, we thank you, we salute you, and we honor you. #VeteransDay #Grateful

I heard this somewhere; it's not mine. "The most important love you'll ever have is the love affair you have with yourself."

What is an odd romance? Odd as in the number of participants or the personality/characteristics of said participants and their romance?

Well, hello there. First post alert. It's Saturday, and I'm procrastinating. I really should be editing my WIP; it's why I fired up the laptop after all. Or reading. But I'm trying to savor Book 4 in the Shadows of London series by Ariana Nash. What are you currently reading? Or writing?
