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.
While I was at Bethany Beach, I sat down to watch the “Bee Movie” with my beautiful GRAND-daughter. Something stuck with me enough to want to come home to blog about it. Bees are not supposed to fly. But they fly anyway. Well if a bee can fly, then I can become a filmmaker. Writing … More DOING ANYWAY!
I remember my reaction to seeing this picture with the sunrays shining on our banner. God was approving of our film and He was letting me know. It was a glorious day! We didn’t always have days like the picture above. There were times of hard physical, mental and emotional work. But, work on this project … More THE PROMISE LAND!
As I get ready to leave for the beach for a week, I have packed lots of books. I will STILL be studying film funding even on the beach. Hopefully while there, I will get a clear mind and come back with lots of new ideas. I know it have to stay on track. … More HALF THE BATTLE!
One of my favorite sayings is, “Go out on a limb because that is where the fruit is.” But far too often, we are afraid to climb the tree and climb out onto those branches for fear we might fall. Grant it, it would be painful to fall out of a tree. However, positive thinking … More IF IT WERE EASY, EVERYONE WOULD DO IT!
My comfort zone looks something like this – comfy pillows, a blanket and couch. “Comfort zone” is defined as: a place or situation where one feels safe, at ease and without stress.” Like most of us, my home is such a place and I generally don’t like to go anywhere other then the store, to … More LISTENING AND DOING!
Tenacious is defined as: determined, preserving, persistent, strong-willed, tireless, resolute, patient, steadfast, unwavering, unswerving, unyielding. Unwavering is defined as: steady, fixed, abiding. I love the definition of steadfast in the above sentence. It reminds me so much of 1 Corinthians 15:58 “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work … More EXCEEDINGLY ABUNDANTLY!
I have been working on writing the 6th volume of the Summer Ray Series. It was a book I wasn’t sure over the years would ever come to life. I could have kept the ending at the 5th book, but since this series has a mind of its own, I had to write what it … More ONE OF A KIND!
Over the years, it has felt like I was putting together a puzzle. I may not have understood at the time how the pieces would all fit, but I am starting to. I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel, with huge doors that are starting to open. I am … More PASSED THE PAIN IS BEAUTIFUL PROGRESS!
If there is one thing I have learned from our amazing Fiscal Sponsor, it is the simple fact that we only have about 30 seconds to make a good first impression. As much as I wanted to go the American Film Market this November 2018, after finding out that I need braces to close the … More AT OUR BEST!
A set back is defined as a “reversal or check in progress, problem, difficulty, hitch, complication, upset, disappointment, misfortune, mishap.” On the brink of an incredible breakthrough, we suffered a severe “set back.” I would like to add a “disappointment” – “sad or displeased because someone or something has failed to fulfill one’s hopes or expectations.” I really need to sit back from … More A BACKING FOR A SET UP!
