It was forty-two years ago today, that Disney World opened its doors to the Magic Kingdom in Orlando, Florida. Entrance into Magic Kingdom. Believe it or not, I took this photo with my iPhone. I happen to believe that Disney World is one of the most magical places on earth....
It’s new music Tuesday for the Scottish trio CHVRCHES. I love this play on letters. And yes, I agree with this BBC article – you must use all caps when writing, err typing their name. (And don’t forget the “E”) Today their debut studio album Bones of What You Believe...
Have you seen the trailer for the new Hugh Jackman and Jake Guyllenhal movie, Prisoners? It’s an intense 2 minutes and 36 seconds. I’m trying to avoid the spoilers. The movie opens tomorrow!! Are you going to go see it?

Every summer, RWA - Romance Writer’s of America - has a huge conference. This year, the conference was held here in Atlanta and that’s where I spent a good portion of last week. It was tons of fun getting to meet up with writer friends from my chapters like the...
I just love contests. Who doesn’t like to win stuff? Especially M-O-N-E-Y. When I was a teen growing up in Fairport, NY the local radio station had the Song-of-the-Day contests. I’d listen all day, waiting for that one song to play. Then when it came on, I’d feverishly dial the...
