January 2020 seems like a lifetime ago. Back then, I asked you for ONE WORD to describe what you wanted to accomplish in the New Year. One little word to be your guiding light for all your hopes, dreams, goals and resolutions for the next 12 months.
Boy, did God/Life/Karma/the Universe have different plans for us. Ironically, for me …

I’ve always loved the New Year – 365 days of possibilities. I used to adore making resolutions. Creating endless lists of all the ways I could improve. Write it down! Make it happen!
Others don’t indulge in goal setting. My husband is the latter. He just strives to do his best and stays chill about it. That’s an absolutely foreign concept to me …
I’m not making any resolutions this year. From what I learned about healing trauma since our house fire in 2017, goal setting just doesn’t speak to me right now and I’m honoring that. It just feels like too much work, and almost abusive.
If you’ve already color coded your goals for this year, I say GO FOR IT!

This week marked the second anniversary of our house fire — August 29. It’s been 730 days since my family lived in our home of 17 years. Our kids were three years old and four weeks old in 2000 when we moved there. We carved pumpkins together each Halloween, cooked Mickey Mouse waffles every Wednesday night, had karaoke with the kids while a disco light strobed through the playroom. Regular family stuff.
Here’s what’s most shocking about the fire …

This is difficult to discuss. First, I want you to know I’ve finally figured out what was wrong with Bones and Lies Between Us (Copper #2), so the sequel to Pennies from Burger Heaven WILL be released later this fall. HALLELUJAH! Can you hear the angels singing?
This is more of a personal update. Physically, I’m great. I feel better than I have in years, so that’s HUGE (my hormones were out-of-whack, which made me feel awful, sleep terribly and look like the walking dead). But, emotionally …
