I’ve been a busy bee working on getting to publish my thousandth piece of writing, and so have neglected this awesomeness a bit. (Plus I needed to renew my WP plan…)

But I promise I’m always writing and thinking of my readers, and ready to make the second half of 2023 a wordy fun place here and everywhere I can.

This month makes my 12 year anniversary in professional publishing. If all goes well my 1,000th piece of writing will be published next month, and then I’ll turn 40 on August 4th. What an awesome summer!

I’m also now writing for The Independent Journal Review in addition to my other wonderful writing gigs. I’m living proof that hard work pays off.

I hope everyone is having fun enjoying some hiking, swimming, games, and preparing for a wonderful 4th of July celebration.

There is always so much to be thankful for. Keep loving life and stay tuned!
