I am a mother of four, grandmother of five, one dog, three cats and throw in a few fish. When I am not writing I am... spending time with my family; figure skating; riding my bike (the peddling kind); being a "crazy camera lady" taking pictures of my beloved Gettysburg Battlefields; struggling with my alphabet issues of TBI, OCD, PTSD and ADD! Though very often frustrated by my disabilities, I strive everyday to better myself and the world around me.
Wow! So we have come to the place in our project where we are in need of breakdown sheets, a business plan and the budget. This is with our 10 year anniversary fast approaching. It’s exciting to see all the traction we are starting to get with the project. It is actually overwhelming. Because once … More THE 3 B’S
Wow! It has almost been 10 years since I climbed Big Round Top in weather conditions such as these. I will be starting a book tour in 2019 as well have many film events throughout the year, to celebrate our anniversary. I am happy with all of the background work we have accomplished. I feel … More STAND WE WILL!
Coming into our 10 year anniversary, I am seeing more clear what my role in all of this will be, once the first film is completed. I can say with all honesty, I will then just be the writer of the story. It could be another 2-3 years before the first film is produced and … More LABOR OF LOVE!
Wow! In keeping up with consistency, I am having to redo all the Summer Ray book covers. This is so the 6th and 7th volume match the rest. It is an unexpected task. But, it has to be done. When things are consistent and in order, things have a certain flow about them. There is … More GREAT STRIDES!
Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Love Studios. I am so excited about what 2019 will bring. 2018 has been a hard year of ice skating injuries for me that started with a broken wrist. I am now nursing a hurt knee, but still going strong. For the film, we were able to persevere … More KEEP GOING!
I have always said that this project is like a puzzle. For a very long time it seemed like there were puzzle pieces everywhere and there was nothing but chaos. There were also times when pieces were put in the wrong place, or at the wrong time and it caused lots of frustration. But, over … More ONWARD…TO DISTRIBUTION!
This picture is of a Gettysburg sunrise over Big Round Top. It is not altered or filtered in any way. I was at the right place at the right time. But, the point is, I had to be there. This view did not come to me while sitting on my couch watching reruns. I had … More REALLY NOT ALONE AT ALL!
I have read this book several times and I am studying it again. As we get closer and closer to finishing our pitch trailer, I have to make sure my pitch is spot on. But, it isn’t just in what I am saying. It is also how I am presenting my project. But more importantly, … More A PRIVILEGE DENIED TO MANY!
Sometimes, all I need to relax and to refocus is a Gettysburg sunrise. I adore this battlefield and to see the beauty of it in the morning, is awe inspiring. I have been feeling “stuck” in life lately. It has been very frustrating. So, this blog is not just about the film but also about … More LOOK FOR THE GOOD
While working on a new fundraising campaign, I had to add pictures. The one above is from about 7 years ago. I can hardly believe it is almost 10 years of working on this project. But, when I go through the pictures, I see one word – DEDICATION! So many amazing and dedicated people. Sure, … More DEDICATION
