Happy Memorial Day Weekend

While we enjoy the Memorial weekend with family cookouts, fireworks, movie going, fishing with buddies, or shopping with girlfriends, I'd like to ask you to also take a few minutes to remember why this day was made a holiday and to share a moment of gratitude for all who have given their lives in service to our country.



With love and gratitude and hope for the future.

Newsclip LOLs

I normally don't repost the things my sister sends me, but since I used to work for a newspaper many eons ago, she thought I'd enjoy these and since I did, I thought to share them with you.


In for a pair, out for a partay. heehe


Whatever you do, stay indoors on Feb. 22! Yikes!


No wonder they can't agree on open meetings! lol

And finally...



Studies also show practice makes perfect. lmao!

Ya'll have a great weekend!

Keeping Motivated

I know one of the hardest things to do as a writer is to stay motivated. I think this is doubly hard if you are also disabled. Nothing is easy and nothing can be taken for granted when you have disability. Just finished reading one of the most inspiring, poignant, heart rending books. The collection is a mish mash of essays and poems, all connected through the voices of disabled women writers. The message is one of empowerment built on the back of physical and emotional pain. It's strident, in turns angry and loving, reflective and impulsive, and viewed solely from a feminine view. And by God it should be!  The women in this anthology have something to say and it's worth hearing.

Happy Mother's Day!

Summer Ebook Special. . .plus other stuff

Summer Special! Catch my summer fun paranormal novella 'Shimmer' on Smashwords for FREE! Limited time, so grab your copy today! http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/9899

Hoping I can finish the sequel to Shimmer, Shimmer II: Heart of Dixie by summer's end, but admit I hit a snag. Having some issues with blurred vision that is making seeing my keyboard tricky (I am so NOT a touch typist--lol--more of a hunt and pecker). But I shall prevail somehow...like my heroine Dixie, I don't give up easily. :-)

What have ya'll been reading? I've been reading The Magic by Rhonda Byrne (the author of The Secret) and some of it makes a lot of sense and some of it doesn't, but that could be my own difficulty in understanding. I like to think of myself as a very grateful person, because despite everything, I am grateful to the universe that I have the best treasure of all, family and friends whom I love and who not only tolerate and put up with me, but love me as well. ((hugs))

Do you believe in magic? I do. :)

Until next time,
Cass
