Writing Prompt: The Light

Posted on by cari

It's Friday! Time for a little shorty for you to read.  To be completely honest, I haven't been doing much writing over the past few weeks as life has pretty much dog-piled on me.

Let’s Talk Anxiety

Posted on by cari

I've written about anxiety and mental health in other places but not here. I suppose you could say I was anxious to share too much of myself here, because after all, I'm a writer, therefore I should be writing about writery things, right? (Yes, the ridiculousness of the last sentence is not lost on me, … Continue reading Let’s Talk Anxiety

Book Review: Little French Bistro

Posted on by cari

What this book is about: This book follows Marianne as she discovers, at sixty, what life is really about. I know that sounds like a trite and boring description, but I thought and thought about it and it was the best way to concisely describe the plot that slowly sinks its talons in and doesn't … Continue reading Book Review: Little French Bistro

Easter!

Posted on by cari

Easter. Probably the most significant holiday in the Christian tradition. I suppose we could certainly argue between Christmas and Easter, because with Christmas, there is no Easter. Without Jesus being born, he couldn't die. And if he didn't die, he couldn't live AGAIN. That's really the significance of this day in Christendom. Jesus didn't stay … Continue reading Easter!
