Now you've seen my official MINDER book trailer, I'll safely confess I attempted making my own video before Matthew Niemann saved me. My poor little effort was doomed from the start. I was on day 4 of the flu. We're talking FOUR days of hallucination fever. Hot sweats. Cold sweats. Debilitating fatigue. I could barely …

Natural Homemade Roach Trap
I'm sorry if this makes you barf. I can't think of any sane reason to write about roaches (on purpose) UNLESS it's a treatise asking God why they're here in abundance. With superpowers. Making everyone cringe. I mean, seriously. Want world peace? Throw a bunch of flying roaches in a small room at the UN. …
Scavenger Hunt for Bored Kids
I don't know about you, but my kids are aggressive psycho lunatics if they consume too many electronics. By electronics, I mean television, tablets, video games, Minecraft, Netflix, youtube, or anything else that stabs their brains with jingly noise and flash images. Even those "learning" games. DIRECT correlation. The more they consume, the bigger jerks they are. And the …
Heaven Sends a Greeting Card.
Last Sunday evening, Christopher and I watched "The Road" on Netflix. It's not exactly a "feel-good" movie (like, at all), so when loving peace BURST, then spread through my chest cavity mid-film, I felt momentarily confused. This rare, beautiful feeling literally overtakes. It wholly consumes. And I looked slyly to Christopher, because I always wonder, …
Goodbye Walter, Hello Ghost.
So. We had an 'occurrence' this week I feel worth mentioning. Christopher and I finally finished "Breaking Bad" after a two year investment. A very emotional investment, I'll add. With heavy hearts, we said good-bye to the White family, kissed, killed the lights, and went to bed. Well, he went to bed. I stayed downstairs …
Preface
It started in 3rd grade. Remember those Choose-Your-Own-Adventure books? They offer alternate endings at the end of each chapter so reader basically chooses how the story ends? Well, at 8 years old I thought the choices were crap. The endings I made up were SO Much better. And then there was Puff the Magic Dragon . …
I Vacationed in a Muslim Country on 9/11. Truth.
Christopher and I were in Turkey on September 11th but that wasn't my choice. I wanted a holiday in Sicily. I wanted to sit under those lemon trees drinking grappa like Michael Corleone! But Christopher wanted Istanbul and he wasn't budging. So we did what anyone would do. We flipped a coin. That coin was STILL in …

Spirit Guides Part 1
“Do I have a spirit guide?" People often ask me. "Ummm," I answer honestly, "I think so." Some New Agers swear we all have spirit guides (Yes. You, too, dear skeptic). And supposedly these entities sign up to guide us through our lifespan. Sounds great, right? Well I’m the type of chick that needs proof so I won't SWEAR we have them. But I can share a …
Reluctant Psychic
I hesitate to call being psychic a ‘gift’ because ‘gift’ implies I've got something you don’t. And that is not the case. We all have intuition. But like any other skill, some are just more adept than others. I mean, we can all add but it doesn’t mean we’re good at math, right? Same thing …
