Yes, that's right, all caps. I'm starting 2020 out with a declaration of my loud, wonderful attempts to rock 2020! I got my entry in for the BookJourney's First Book. I've been participating in this for a few years, and I even got that handsome man reading a Jack Reacher book to submit his picture (I am lucky enough to call him my brother, and he's part of a podcast, and generally just ...

I surpassed the goal, and I would like to hit the same goal tomorrow. We ... [ Read More ]
Easy ways to personalize Mail
I send out a lot of mail. Most of the time I have that perfect card or stationery. But sometimes I don’t. Now that might be some people’s way of saying that piece of correspondence is not meant to be—I am here to tell you that is not the case. I am sending a card to a stranger through the Oh So Happy Mail group on Facebook. Since I’ve never met the person, I’m not sure what their sense of humor ... [ Read More ]
My Elfster Swap
I participate in an Elfster swap monthly or bi-monthly. I got a cool journal, a book of poetry from my favorite poet and a set of pencils from my wishlist. I was floored by how awesome this was. ... [ Read More ]
