I have discovered a new, delightful heroine, and it's time I introduced her: everyone, meet Saffron Everleigh! She's a spunky, witty botanist working as a research assistant at the University College in London in the 1920s where she suddenly finds herself mixed up in a murder scheme when the wife of a professor drops dead at a dinner party. Though at first she might seem like the awkward, bookish type, she quickly finds her footing in the throes of the chase as she first tries to acquit her ...

I’m Back
I found my spark again. A lot has happened since I last wrote, even though it’s only been a couple of months. A lot of changes around me, in me. A lot of shackles have been removed. I don’t feel tied down anymore. I’m getting comfortable in my own skin again, too. It’s an exhilarating feeling, having the freedom to be oneself. I’ve chased my own authenticity for years now. I don’t know if I’ll ever stop, but I feel as though every day brings me closer and closer. Growing up, I was ...

I'm back momentarily to share one quick update, and something I recently learned which may help you as much as it has helped me by boosting my confidence about Life interrupting what is important to me over these last few years.

Glass Ball, Rubber Ball
I dropped the ball again. Except—as I heard someone once share how they manage the demands of Life—to me this was a rubber ball, not a glass one. I know this will bounce back, but I still should have shared yesterday. Anyway…I’d like you to meet two new friends of mine: Mr. & Mrs. Shroom. They hang out with me at work to let my coworkers know whether I’m having a good or bad mental health day. If good, Mrs. Shroom hangs out with me; if bad, well…her grumpy spouse joins me instead. ...
The Hidden Power of Yud
I don't have much to share that I haven't already said in either of my last two blog posts where I both announced the upcoming changes to my blog---to be released later this month---and some changes at my day job, which proved to help amend the distress and attacks I endured earlier last year. (Still feels weird to think it, officially, was last year now.) In fact, I'm not sure I have much to share or say in this new year at all. Not yet, at least. There have been a lot---and I mean, a ...
