… to the cross. It’s passion week- or holy week, you know, the special time between Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday, and I can’t seem to get this song out of my head: LEAD ME TO THE CROSS (Hillsong)  You can listen to it here:  http://youtu.be/vdq9Q8wJdjc It’s probably...

We are all familiar with the old adage “don’t judge a book by its cover”, but this Fabulous Friday we’re going to do just that! Obviously, as an author, I LOVE books! They take me on fantastic adventures, pull me onto emotional roller coasters, increase my knowledge,...

My new best friend arrived in the mail last week. I call her Shirley ‘coz she makes me curly... I thought it was about time I ditched the 18-year old curling iron of yesteryear and invest in a current, clip-less “wand”. The fact I had a discount voucher swayed me to...

Dydd Gw?l Dewi Sant hapus ! THIS IS NOT A TYPO- it’s Welsh! Today is March 1- Saint David’s Day! Who? You may ask, unless you happen to be Welsh… Saint David’s Day is a pretty special occasion in Wales, and seeing as how I lived there for some 13 years, my daughter...

This Fabulous Friday, love is still in the air (leftover from Valentines Day!) so we are going to take a peek at a few of my favorite things- with love in mind. In theory, this could have been a REALLY long post, but don’t worry, I’ve reigned myself in! Hopefully, I...

Oh Valentines Day! An occasion dedicated to expressing one’s love and affection in the form of whispered words, soppy cards, and sentimental gifts. A candlelit dinner for two, a romantic stroll, swaying to soft music… it all sounds good to me! But I’m just a hopeless...

I’m nuts about coconuts! The smell, taste, texture, flavor, color, origin… there’s just something pure and perfect about these grungy-on-the–outside, delectable-on–the-inside tropical spheres of goodness.                  ...

ANIMAL PRINT- adore it, detest it, think it’s crass or classy, like it or not- it’s out there! I recently purchased these little boots (an incredible bargain- of course!), which got me thinking about why we fearlessly don ourselves in faux wild animal:    ...
