Early last year, following a harrowing year of anxiety, I was down. The black dog was biting at my heels. I needed a boost – something to cheer me up. Something to put things into perspective. A friend directed me to an article; it was then I discovered the wonder of the thankful jar. It’s…

It’s NaNoWriMo Time!
Greetings dear Reader, This month is NaNoWriMo (National Nominated Writing Month). For those who have not heard of NaNo, it is a personal challenge to write like the wind (gratuitous YouTube link here) and aim for 50K words in one month.
