Finding Faith
I recently read Lost Edens – A True Story by Jaime Patterson, a book about the author’s failed marriage. There were so many poignant lines but the sentiment that resonated with me was Patterson’s struggle with her faith during this dark time in her life. She asks “Where is God in this?.” She prays for [...]
National Writing Day
Apparently, October 20 is National Writing Day. Who knew? You’d think I would. So, in honor of this day, here’s a post I wrote awhile ago about why I write. Still holds true. Enjoy. What have you written today?
My Food Network Magazine Debut
I’m so so excited that I can finally share this news! Earlier this year, I was asked by Food Network Magazine – FOOD NETWORK MAGAZINE people! – to nominate three Maryland pizzas for a travel article they were planning about pizzas from every state.

And I wanted something different than the Nursery Rhyme theme we had used for our son. So I googled for ideas and eventually came across this post: [...]

The Costume Trunk
I recently read The Costume Trunk by Bob Fuller, a children’s book about a little girl who discovers a magical costume trunk that takes her and her friends to the imaginary world of Paddywhack Lane where they can be whoever they imagine to be. It reminded me of the costume trunk I played with as [...]
Farewell Borders
I’m going to miss my local Borders. Its been my bookstore of choice for years. I loved the new release tables – and imaging my own book there one day. I loved perusing the magazine stacks. I loved the café with its free Wi-fi. I met friends there for coffee. I escaped there to study [...]
Goodbye Harry Potter
This is not a movie review. It’s a reflection. No spoilers here. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part Two made me cry. But not for the reason you may be thinking. It wasn’t at the end. It wasn’t because Harry lived or died. It was the flashback to when Harry’s mother is killed protecting [...]
