These past few weeks change seems to be on the table. One thing I have come to learn about change is that it always occurs with a fair amount of chaos and discomfort. Often we what we mistake for things spinning out of control, is just a prelude to a change of some sort. . . . → Read More: Examining Change I read a lot of books. I digest a lot of scenarios. One that runs particularly common through the stories I read is that of describing one who is no longer among them. Right now I’m sitting at the outdoor bar at Bobby Byrnes in Mashpee Commons waiting for my friend. She and I . . . → Read More: How Would You Like To Be Remembered? Today is the fourth anniversary of my retirement. Since Labor Day 2009 my husband has always stayed to celebrate NEVER having to leave the Cape again and go back to NY for another school year. Now, make no mistake, I thoroughly enjoyed every student and every school year for over thirty-five years, but at the . . . → Read More: The End…or The Beginning? 
This summer I have been stuck on the fiction of Dorothea Benton Frank. Her books take place in the “Low Country”, the islands off the coast of South Carolina. My interest in her work was piqued when her novel Folly Beach popped up in my recommended reads. A few years ago I spent some time . . . → Read More: Mango Sunsets Today my husband and I were going to attend a Cape Cod Writers Reception at a local bookstore.

It’s different in that you don’t have to post everyday for 31 days. You only post on Friday using the alphabet . . . → Read More: E is for Excited! Now that Ralph is once again alive on Amazon, it’s time for a creative break. (I can’t believe you haven’t downloaded your copy yet – or if you just did – thank you!) Yesterday I went to the craft store to gather supplies for a jewelry project my daughter is working on. While there, I . . . → Read More: Ralph Lives – Time For A Creative Break The Trouble With Ralph, by Diana Lesire Brandmeyer, illustrated by Linda Bartosik, is now available for your reading pleasure as an e-book on Amazon. If anyone had ever told me that someday I’d have a book I illustrated on Amazon, I never would have believed it. After 8 months of not only artwork, . . . → Read More: It’s Out! It’s the last day of the Cape Cod Writers Center Annual Conference. Though the amount of learning I acquired this week was insurmountable, it was today that made the most impact. On the last day, in every class, we have to fill out course evaluations. My e-pub teacher was great and I couldn’t have . . . → Read More: Last Day of Summer Camp I was a voracious reader from the days of Nancy Drew and The Bobbsey Twins. I was fascinated with books. It seemed ominous to my nine year old self to make a book. Authors, to me, were rockstars. Writing a book was just something so unattainable – like trying to be an NFL star quarterback. . . . → Read More: Summer Camp – Day 3 – Books! |
