With so much happening and putting our world into a delicate state now, these words make a powerful impact.

“Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend.”

Martin Luther King Jr.

As I continue to feel more motivated daily, I urge myself to step and think outside the box. 

If I ever stop and ask myself why? I remind myself because I can. 

There are so many opportunities to do something good, and better opportunities to do something great.

I am in full swing, and want to thank you all so very much for your support. If you have been thinking about contributing to my GO FUND ME account and have not done so yet, there is still time. I will collect funds through the end of this month. Any amount is appreciated.....I have passed my half way goal. When I started this adventure, I didn't know where it would go but I was willing to step out on faith and I am so happy that I did.

I love when my work lands in the hands of beautiful youngsters. Let's see where Fuzzy Ears has landed today...

When I sit back, and observe I see opportunity, and potential in their eyes. I see dreams to be fulfilled, and most importantly I see hope. Creating works that children can pass to one another is a joy.

Who has their hands on a copy of Fuzzy Ears and the Grocery Store Adventure now? Available!!!

You ever have an AHA moment? I had one I hadn't thought about. A parallel between my long-time friend (since high school,) and my new children's book (Fuzzy Ears and the Grocery Store Adventure.)

 My friend detested her middle name, Rose, ever since we first met. She didn't want anyone to know that was her middle name, but shared it with me one day. From the moment I heard it, I loved it and started calling her by that instead of her first name because I thought it was fitting of the beautiful spirit she was and represented to the world. I became the only person that she allowed to call her Rose through these many years. Whether it was a letter, email, phone call...I always said "hi Rose." She knew it was me. Tonight, after having a conversation she informed me that after all of these years (and it has been many,) she has come to appreciate the name and now actually likes it. It made my evening. I knew it was beautiful all along, I just had to wait for her to catch up. Beautiful Rose.
