This Blogging Thing
Hi,
This blogging thing as not made it to my list for a while. Life, work, house remodels, and tons of other things have gotten in the way.
I have attended several writing workshops and a conference recently. I learned a lot and enjoyed my time away.
I hope all of you have been well.

Hi,

I frequent there to learn more about forensics and how to use it in my mystery novels.

Howdy,
Today’s featured link discusses the purpose and reason for writing. I thought it was interesting. Thought provoking. Enjoy.

NAMI Local Affiliates
Hi,
For those of you who struggle with mental illness or if you have a loved one who is affected by mental illness, there is hope and help out there.
The National Alliance on Mental Illness is a grassroots organization that is instrumental in helping families. I attended the Family-to-Family classes last winter. It was a life saver for my family. I learned so much and am better equipped to love and set firmer boundaries with my adult children who struggle with mental issues.

It was well worth my time.

Perfect Goals?
Have you ever worked really hard at something only to have a wrench thrown in the plan? That is so frustrating. I love today’s featured link. There are some great organizing tips on the site and frankly this article is a timely one for me. I hope you hop on over there and read the entire thing. While you’re over there, maybe you will find an article that might help you with organization ideas.
You’ve created the perfect plan for your goal, just as the experts recommend when you set one. You mapped everything out…but then things didn’t go as planned. Recognize that plans are imperfect. There is no possible way to predict every bump and turn you will encounter along the way to your goal. But, it is highly likely that you will encounter obstacles, speed bumps and detours. When you do, ask yourself this question: Is this in my control or not? Click here to read the rest of this helpful article.
