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.
With 2/3’s of the summer of 2017 already over, I can say without a dought, this has been the absolute worst summer of my entire life. I was down to my last tear drop…literally. I felt like I was being beaten up on every side; losing all I have worked so hard for; and not … More ONE LAST TEAR; ONE MORE TIME!
When the ball starts to finally roll down hill, chase after it and do not procrastinate. Now is the time to build momentum.

This time last year, I could not get my leg this high. At best, it was hip height. But throughout the year, I have been diligent to stretch, work out, ride my bike and of course, skate. Still, I have not been able to do this on ice yet. But the fact that I can … More PROGRESS

Lately, I have heard these two phrases and it has caused me to expand my thinking. I have had a … More THE HORIZON
Every time I come across this picture, I can’t help but smile. There is a sunray over our Summer Ray. It just reminds me that God is with us and that He has everything under His control. I have gone through a series of upgrades and more are on the way. But when you are … More SUNRAYS OVER OUR SUMMER RAY
For most of my children’s growing up years, I was a single mom. Although I knew Summer Ray was also a single mom, I never really thought much about it as I was always focused on some other parts of the books and screenplay. This was until recent reviews that turned everything right side up. … More IT’S MORE THAN JUST A STORY…IT’S A MISSION!
I was thinking about when we will make the film, when God stopped me. He told me, “You are already making it.” Then He proceeded to show me how. When I finally am able to eat a delicious cupcake – okay like three of them, the making of the cupcakes started with the idea. I … More I AM MAKING A FILM!
“Find your center, ” is a term used in Figure Skating. When we spin, if we are not centered, we travel all over the place and the spin is awful. It’s kind of like that in life. If we are not centered; solid in our core; or goal oriented, we will also spin out of … More FIND YOUR CENTER!
Sometimes I forget that “God is able” and I take the burdens of this film on myself. Well, my shoulders are not that big and I cannot carry the weight of it. Believe me, I have tried and I laid underneath it a helpless, crushed mess! But, the good news is, I didn’t stay there. … More TODAY!
