A Day in the Life (part 5)
When I got started, this was going to be a five-part story. I got a little carried away, though. Now I’m hoping to wrap it up in…um…eight parts? Maybe. Don’t hold your breath. Ten, for sure. Probably. Just in case you missed the first few parts and want to catch up, you can find them […]

Tickling My Funny Bone by Deb Kastner
As I mentioned in earlier blog posts, 2019 is going to be a big PIVOT year for me and I couldn’t be any more excited. The last two years I’ve felt rather like I’ve been hiding under my bed, afraid to stick my head out and see what is happening in the world. Chicken Little […]
