Sometimes you’re stuck. You’re struggling. You’re frustrated, and overwhelmed. You sit waiting, worrying, completely freaking out about what comes next. You send messages to the Universe, you beg, you plead ~ send me something, inspiration, focus, answers, anything, just help me get me moving again. And sometimes the Universe answers with Big Magic.

I’m still not finished with any of the 3 books I’m currently reading, so I thought I’d pull a book off the kiddo’s shelf for today’s book review. Hanna got this book for Christmas this year. It has a black horse on the front… can’t really go wrong there. However, this is not just … Continue reading
I’m still playing by the “rules” next book comes off the top of the Summer Stack. The next book on the stack was These Things Hidden. It didn’t take long to fall into this book.

As always, when it … Continue reading
I’ve been in a book funk lately. I’ve started some books, couldn’t quite get into them, or found them so incredibly boring or poorly written I didn’t know what to do! I hate giving up on authors and books in the middle, but I also hate reading boring and badly written books! Lucky for … Continue reading
Recently I opened Facebook and found a note from a friend. She’d just finished a book, thought I’d like it, and wanted to send it to me. Two of my favorite things… a book recommendation from a friend, and free books. 🙂 As we were pulling out of the driveway to head to Tulsa … Continue reading
