Inspired by New York City
I have a big problem. I want to go to New York City. But, it’s not really possible right now. For a variety of reasons, not least of which is that I refuse to subject myself or anyone else to my three small children on a long-haul flight. What is it about New York City […]

March Update: Reading, Watching, Listening and Life

A Day In My Life: Anne Novek
I can’t be the only one who is obsessed with those ‘A Day in My Life’ videos on YouTube. Surely, out of all the thousands of viewers these videos get, there has to be someone else who is willing to admit that they LOVE getting an insight (even if it is an edited one) into […]

My 2020 Book Buying Ban
Books are so magical. They transport you to different places and take you on journeys that you may never take in real life. I can’t express to you how much I love books, but you should know, because I’m an author, right? So, it may come as a surprise that I put myself on a […]
