The sound of the rain against the window pane, like a constant knocking. Loved ones from above, trying to come in. Let me open the window…
I’m awake at this ungodly hour and it is raining. Usually it lulls me to sleep, but not tonight. Too much on my mind, so I will just lie here and listen. Join me, won’t you?

Hello friends,
This past weekend, I had to say goodbye to a very dear friend. He was an incredible man, much like a brother to my husband, and treated our family with so much love and respect. I am having difficulty dealing with his death, and as such, I have not been writing, nor visiting WP as often as usual. Please bear with me, as I work my way through these emotions. Thank you ❤

I can’t believe it! Five years have flown by and my little blog has an anniversary today. It seemed only yesterday when I posted my first article, back when I wasn’t posting my poetry (That’s officially in January).
Of course, I wouldn’t be here without the support and friendship from so many in the WordPress community, family and friends. I never dreamed I would make it this far, and yet, 13 books later, with #14 in my hands awaiting editing, I am still here. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention our dear friend, Paul Lenzi, who left us far too soon. He helped me in so many ways. I would never be able to thank him enough.
And so, off to year six, and Lord only knows what it will bring! Many thanks to all of you, for allowing me to share my thoughts (sometimes crazy ones) and cheering me on. Because of you, I am able to continue my dream. See ya round the blogosphere! ❤

Fifteen years, in the blink of an eye
How time has passed, and still I cry
God called you home, not on a whim
The time had come, to be with Him
And though we needed you, right here
He needed you more, that much is clear
And when I look up, to see the stars
I know one twinkle, is where you are
Shining down upon us, our guiding light
Always in our hearts, forever bright
In loving memory of my Uncle Gino (1953-2003), a man who showed me the true meaning of kindness. I miss him every day…
