I’m taking a mini-workshop that conference calls every few weeks called Keepers of Time. (http://stargazerli.com) It’s based on a different calendar that begins in July and looks at the years as spirals, and the months are called Moons. Each day has a certain flavor or energy to it. For example, today is a Three Human … Continue reading Noodling and Puzzling over my Cuppa Jo
In Granville, Ohio, where I grew up, there was a store called the Granville Times Press. See that tiny portion of green stripped awning in the lower right of this photo? That’s the place! Wish I could have found a better image for you. To me, that store was was pure magic—my Church … Continue reading The Fine Art of Book Browsing
In keeping with last week’s blog about Yoga and Kendo, I thought I would post a scene from the first book of the Walkers Trilogy. For two reasons: 1) It shows how an author uses what he/she knows and incorporates it into their writing, and 2) It’s the first time we get to know TinneHolm, one … Continue reading More Coffee, Please, Warrior 2
Recently, I’ve taken up Yoga and I’m just drinking it up. Not sure if I’ll ever stand on my head, but I’m loving it as an exercise and a way of playing in the physical with a spiritual edge. Yesterday, the teacher had the class linger in the Warrior 2 pose. Here’s a picture I … Continue reading Warrior 2 (with Coffee)
I’ve been making movies! Well…trying to make movies. I’ve been using my iPhone, MacBook and iMovie to do it. My goal is to have more videos on my website and to clean up wind sounds, etc. for the little movies I’ve already made and have posted up on YouTube. But I’m not there yet. Not … Continue reading Sunday Morning Cuppa Love
Wow…I’ve been trying to get cheaper medical coverage for about a month now. It’s so crazy. I mean, it’s so complicated with the insurance company’s and Covered California’s efforts to make it easier. Just crazy. I really don’t even know what’s covered or what’s not on my new plan (or even if I have a … Continue reading I could use a Cappuccino
Took a quick business trip to Tiburon, California this week. When I was in my 20s, my girlfriends and I would go to Tiburon Sam’s for Sunday brunch. It was a fun place to go. Here’s a pic I stole from the internet so you can see for yourself. When you lived in San Francisco … Continue reading Sunday Brunches of the Past
Happier Morning Coffee It’s The Oscars! This is MY Superbowl Sunday. I’m home in front of the TV with my snacks and a glass of champagne, or two. I didn’t see as many of the movies this year and I’m sorry about that. But I do believe there is an Oscars next year so … Continue reading Happier Morning Coffee.
One of my favorite things to do is to scour images to find just the right people to play my characters. I’m not the only author to do this, BTW. I’ve seen whole Pin boards devoted to this fun activity for authors. Perhaps I should create my own Pin board….nahhhh….that kind of stuff takes away … Continue reading Sunday Character Casting
It’s Thursday. A long way from Sunday, but Mr. Al is taking me away this weekend to celebrate my birthday, which is tomorrow. My MacBook’s calendar had a delightful little reminder this morning informing me that tomorrow is Cammy’s 58th Birthday. ACK!!!!!! I was pretending not to notice how close to 60 that … Continue reading Aging Coffee
