This, I am not. But I am a good actress. This has served me well. People think I’m alright. I successfully fooled them. My shit can be lost at the drop of a hat. Well, I’m working on that. Instead of losing my temper, I can use my temper instead. A wise blonde country superstar…

I’m working on my next round of original works! Also, a children’s book called Monkey’s Morning. It will be about our sweet backyard kitty. Someday, I will return to Tiki’s book, but right now I just can’t touch it. I give myself grace and permission to be okay with that. It is just too painful.…

The beginning of March was a stressful, fretful, cheerful and fruitful month. There were some personal setbacks that sidelined me temporarily, but I got my rear in gear and released a soft launch of my first three works: Meowruru Mimi, Meowhalo Popoki: 1st Edition, and Meowhalo Popoki: 2nd Edition.
