The all-in investment all of our major corporations have made into “Artificial Intelligence” 🙄 only to constantly see results like this from a Google search is mind boggling.

Found these little critter finger puppets at an adorable shop in Hudson, NY. I think they will be a delightful inspiration for my writing.

Took a little escape to Hudson, NY to inspire my writing with a change of pace and scenery, and to honor my late husband’s birthday with a train ride- he loved train holidays! Anyone else do this?

Today is Tinker Bell’s Gotcha Day! We adopted each other 6 years ago and she’s 8- we made today her birthday, too! She’s either wishing for me to write a picture book about her or to stop taking so many pictures….maybe both!

Thanksgiving and other holidays can be challenging. #Grief rears its head. Still, I follow Walt Disney's advice to be in a state of #gratitude. pixiedustforcaregivers.com/2024/11/29/a...

Sending good wishes and gratitude for friends who are like family. Tinker Bell is grateful that I can use Photoshop and that Duffy dresses up instead of her! Happy Thanksgiving!
