Feeling Happy
It’s been a while since I’ve really been able to say that I am feeling happy. But here I am. Things are finally to the point where I can start new endeavours and continue with ones I’ve had going before. It’s been a long time since I’ve truly felt this way. I’m not going to say that life is perfect, but it isn’t dragging me down as hard as it has been the past while. I’ve had some news that worries me, but until I know more about it, I’m going to try not to worry obsessively over it all. I’ve also been letting go of things that actively hurt…

Like the Phoenix Rising
I know that I’ve said it before, but every time someone thinks that they’ve got me down, I end up bouncing back.

Busy Writing
I’ve actually been writing, and that’s taken away from the time I’ve had to blog. Oopsie. I’ve also been busy reclaiming my time. It’s not a linear process, but it is happening, even if it is in fits and spurts. I’ve learned that making plans tends to be when things go sideways, so I try not to do that and have loose arrangements for things. Right now I’m debating taking you all back in time before pushing through the second book in the Rock & Roll Angel series. But I’ve been writing, and busy with it. It’s not on my computer or iPad, it’s old school, longhand on paper. It’s…
