It Takes Up All My Time

Hi. It’s me. You remember, the keeper of this blog. I know, I know, it’s been awhile. AWHILE. But I work full time now and manage a Koko FitClub here on the Cape and it takes up all of my time. Wait. That’s not quite true. My job just doesn’t take up my time. I . . . → Read More: It Takes Up All My Time

Left – Here On Earth

“Earth is forgiveness school. I believe that's why they brought us here, then left us without any owners manual.” ~ Anne Lamott

This morning on Facebook I came across an article in Salon by one of my favorite authors, Anne Lamott. This article was on forgiveness and we all know what is at the . . . → Read More: Left – Here On Earth

When I Speak of Inspration

Very often I bring you things and people in this blog that have touched my life and inspired me to be better than I am today or to “go for it” and try to reach a goal. What I have for you today touches on something that means a lot to me and I . . . → Read More: When I Speak of Inspration

If You’re Like Me

If you're like me you are probably coming off of a very busy week and have a ton of things to do around the house, but then there is this incredible weather…. Yup.

The Birth Of A Picture Book

First the story is created. This story I’m working on was created as a classroom exercise by a woman I didn’t even know, at last year’s Cape Cod Writers Center Conference. When it was her turn to read her story, I picked up my pen and quickly sketched my version of her characters. At the . . . → Read More: The Birth Of A Picture Book

I’m Just Not Good Enough

This morning I was cleaning the toilet. Ok, it’s what I was thinking when I was cleaning the toilet that prompted this post. I had just shown my husband my first illustration for my rocker friend, VK Lynne (meet her here and maybe kick in five bucks to help fund her upcoming tour) and I . . . → Read More: I’m Just Not Good Enough

Happy Anniversary

Linkedin informed me and a lot of my friends that it is my one year anniversary of working at Koko FitClub. I can’t believe it’s been a year. When I think back to last August when I first started at Koko, and I look at myself one year later, I’m astounded.
