Review: Write for the Fight: A Seasonal Collection of Essays

Statistics on breast cancer can be very scary, especially when you hear that every woman has a 12% chance of developing invasive breast cancer sometime in her life. Breast cancer affects us all. It takes away our mothers, our daughters, our sisters, friends and even ourselves. When I heard that authors Tess Hardwick and Tracey…

Tracey M. Hansen

Tracey M. Hansen grew up in the wilds of Cape Coral, FL where she still unwillingly resides today. She lives with a dime piece she calls 'ManPal' and three very feisty fur-kids. With her best of friends scattered around the globe, Tracey spends her time in a dark corner in fetal position, sucking her thumb and…

The Lost Romantic

What happens when you can no longer write what you want to write? I write romance, er, well, I used to. It always felt right to me. It was not uncommon for my mind to drift off during the day and find myself dreaming of romantic gestures, sensual dialogue and even steamy sex scenes. This…

Yeah, I Pinned That

About 98% of readers of this blog find me via social networking. I have to say, I love Twitter; to me it's the biggest and best social networking site out there. I can connect to people I've never met and most of them actually follow me and care about what I have to say. I…

A Return to Self

I used to be an excellent organizer. I was one of those freaks that would color coordinate anything and everything.

All For the Love of Shoes

“So, what'll it take to motivate you? Should I take away tv time,” my husband asked with a sly smirk on his face. I slid my foot into my black converse and started to tie the worn out laces. “Noooo, dad. I have no idea what'll it take to get me writing again. Every time…

One Thought at a Time

We all have our insecurities. For some it's their crooked smile, for others it's their weight, for me it's my speech. Sure, there are a lot of things about myself and my body that I would love to change but none bothers me more than my inability to speak. I know. You're sitting, staring at…

A Worthy Pain in the Ass

A couple of weeks ago I was minding my own business when I got a notification on my phone that someone mentioned me on Facebook. Giddy at the thought of someone thinking of me, I hopped on my computer and brought up the message thread. It was between one of the instructor's from my gym…

Favorite Valentine Memory

Many of you know I'm not big on Valentine's Day. I have my reasons and no I'm not sharing them with you. However, just because the holiday isn't my favorite (not even in the top 5, it even falls after Administrative Assistant Day) that doesn't mean that I don't have a favorite memory from the…
