By day, I write stories and clean toilets. By night, I pretend I’m a chef’s apprentice and a chauffeur for junior soccer stars.

A brilliantly engaging and heart-warming novel about love, loss and finding your feet in your 40s - I adored this book! @ronalicollings.bsky.social #BookSky bookaholicbex.wordpress.com/2025/02/18/a...

My husband and kids make the sky look bluer even on a dreary day, like I can do the great things in my heart, like gold is quality time and silver is helping them achieve their dreams. Im okay in my corner, being small, but they make me want me to come out and play. And for them, I show up.

Fame is no good for the human soul. I think this is why one of the greatest singers in our generation isn't famous. I'd travel to any stage to hear Chris Blue sing When A Man Loves A Woman. This is going on my book's playlist! 💜

This quiet woman is about to get loud. I'm formulating my thoughts. Stay tuned.

Q. Is it ever right to have an intransigent viewpoint? A. Kids: Yes, when you really believe in something. Q. Is it ever right to bully others based on your intransigent viewpoint. A. Kids: No Q: Adults: At what point does conversation turn into bullying?

Let’s be clear, there's nothing simple about this man. Renzo singing Lynard Skynyrd is the future. #NBCTheVoice

Next up in car line reads is Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler.

Sometimes we miss the timing, but it doesn't change the brilliance of the leap. Watch Luvu frog jump over his huddle. youtu.be/FRqVCKjXKmE?...

Dude, we’re recognizing that change and variation are natural in language so we’re trying to keep our publications grounded in the details of current usage so they can calmly and dispassionately offer information about modern English later if you want to pull up.

Please notify me when the meme is available of Luvu jumping over his huddle twice. Luv U for the win! #WashingtonCommanders

thank you coach gowron

Ernest Hemingway once said, “In our darkest moments, we don’t need advice.” What we truly need is the power of human connection: a quiet presence, a gentle touch, or the smallest gesture that reminds us we’re not alone.

I'm starting with books I own and haven't read, mixing in saved audio credits from the time I forgot to cancel the subscription in 14 days, and relying on the library for the rest of my reads. #ReadingInCarline

"Would it be okay if you lived a little longer," I said repeatedly as I held all 25 lbs of his lifeless body. Russet was my writing companion of one year. His special needs met mine and somehow he helped me believe in myself enough to rewrite my story. I'd give anything for another day with him.

People are often don't take the time to learn the stories of our poor and working class families. Read this story about the amazing Kit de Waal who has a book coming out and a scholarship for working-class writers. #writerscommunity www.theguardian.com/society/2016...

Jesus' message is as much for the Herdmans as it is for anyone else. Take this from someone who seems like a Grace IRL, but is really another Imogene. #Emmanuel #TheBestChristmasPageantEver

I want to give you all something like the magic of a snow globe, the cheery jingle of a bell, Silent Night performed on a cello, the warmth and crackle of a fire, Nigella Lawson's cooking, Bookaholic Bex's gest, Six Triple Eight on Netflix, and the adventure of Snoopy sledding toward Christmas.

Sometimes the times-changer is missed. She should be the person of the year.

I spent 2024 rewriting a story that makes people laugh and cry. There's social commentary and true diversity and LOVE. So I didn't get into the club of represented authors and there are no opportunities for publication, but I wrote a story that makes people feel for one another. I have no regrets.

I don't know much, but I know I want to be championed by someone who believes in my heart and my work and is willing to challenge me to be the best person and story teller I can be.

All I want for Christmas is a champion for my work, which is now an impossible dream since I have no queries out. I'm proud of my "evocative prose" and "promise" and suspect I'll take a season to read before writing another story. I write for the love of story and will begin again. #writerscommunity

God wept.

if you're not watching #TheVoice, you missed the greatest unlikely matchup of Snoop Dogg and Sting. The Gangster Holy Ghost was surely with both men.

This was so beautifully accepted on Twitter, I thought I’d share here too

SOFRONIO!!!! Dang. #TheVoice

The Keeper of the Boneyard is 75 years old today. Happy birthday, Tom: Don't plant your bad days. They grow into weeks. The weeks grow into months. Before you know it you got yourself a bad year. Take it from me. Choke those little bad days. Choke 'em down to nothin'. They're your days. Choke 'em.

John Cupp's life or $3500 savings? One is a man who was a hard-working welder and married a woman with three children. The other is an insurance company that spent money on another company's cost-savings strategy instead of John Cupp. www.propublica.org/article/evic...

I sent out three query packages today!

I'm going public with my vote for Shye. It's her time. #theVoice

How does Sofronio sound identical to Sting?! And Sting is playing bass 🎸. #NBCtheVoice

I'm in a lot of physical pain currently, but I choose to focus on #theVoice. Music, stories, and people getting opportunities brings me joy. ✨
