By day, I write stories and clean toilets. By night, I pretend I’m a chef’s apprentice and a chauffeur for junior soccer stars.
I'm signing off of Blue Sky soon. It's been a joy to learn about new books and recipes, but the truth is, I'm at my best when I'm not on social media. ☮️

Watch Moana Two and then watch The Greatest Showman. Tell me what's nearly identical. 🎼🎶🎵

I'm listening to Surrender by Bono while doing my infusion today. EVERYONE should read it, especially creatives, people who've lost a parent, those who feel others pain deeply, or who get over stimulated easily. Feeling rejected, like the underdog in the fight for your life, it's for U 2.

A brilliantly engaging and heart-warming novel about love, loss and finding your feet in your 40s - I adored this book! @ronalicollings.bsky.social

Anyone But Him
I very rarely read books where the protagonist is a woman my own age.  Whether this says more about my desire to escape my own experiences or about the fact novels don’t often portray 40-something …

My husband and kids make the sky look bluer even on a dreary day, like I can do the great things in my heart, like gold is quality time and silver is helping them achieve their dreams. Im okay in my corner, being small, but they make me want me to come out and play. And for them, I show up.

Fame is no good for the human soul. I think this is why one of the greatest singers in our generation isn't famous. I'd travel to any stage to hear Chris Blue sing When A Man Loves A Woman. This is going on my book's playlist! 💜

This quiet woman is about to get loud. I'm formulating my thoughts. Stay tuned.

Q. Is it ever right to have an intransigent viewpoint?

A. Kids: Yes, when you really believe in something.

Q. Is it ever right to bully others based on your intransigent viewpoint.

A. Kids: No

Q: Adults: At what point does conversation turn into bullying?

Let’s be clear, there's nothing simple about this man. Renzo singing Lynard Skynyrd is the future. #NBCTheVoice

Dude, we’re recognizing that change and variation are natural in language so we’re trying to keep our publications grounded in the details of current usage so they can calmly and dispassionately offer information about modern English later if you want to pull up.

Please notify me when the meme is available of Luvu jumping over his huddle twice. Luv U for the win! #WashingtonCommanders

thank you coach gowron
If you go into a challenge thinking it will never work, it will never work. You have surrendered before the battle has even begun. Be realistic, temper expectations, but do not fight on behalf of your enemy by anticipating failure. Permit yourself to believe in victory.

Ernest Hemingway once said,
“In our darkest moments, we don’t need advice.”
What we truly need is the power of human connection: a quiet presence, a gentle touch, or the smallest gesture that reminds us we’re not alone.

I'm starting with books I own and haven't read, mixing in saved audio credits from the time I forgot to cancel the subscription in 14 days, and relying on the library for the rest of my reads. #ReadingInCarline

"Would it be okay if you lived a little longer," I said repeatedly as I held all 25 lbs of his lifeless body. Russet was my writing companion of one year. His special needs met mine and somehow he helped me believe in myself enough to rewrite my story. I'd give anything for another day with him.
