Completion…and a new beginning

I did it!! Yesterday I hit the “send” button and submitted my book proposal. Relief doesn’t even begin to cover what I’m feeling!

So many of you have been cheering me on and supporting me through this process and I can’t possibly thank you enough. It is thanks in part to your support and love …

Two miracles for the price of one

Here’s a great story from Allen Klein, an author and speaker who found exactly the right people at exactly the right moment.

It amuses me terrifically that I’m starting to get guest miracle posts from so many humorists!  🙂

A couple of years ago, after I got the rights back to several of …

Small gems

Long day.  Tired Leah.

I don’t have cable or NetFlix (never had cable, gave up NetFlix during the great cost cutting). I only watch the things that I can see online – which is a lot, but certainly not everything I’d like to see.  For instance, the first episode of HBO’s series “Newsroom” is available …

Are you Hunger-y?

My friend Jill introduced me to The Hunger Games a few months ago (you may remember Jill as the mother of the best baby in the world).  Even as she was describing the book to me I thought, “I’m probably not going to like this.” But Jill was very persuasive in her insistence that I …

Reading for pleasure

Chick Lit

On Friday night I mentioned going to the library to get some mindless books.  I’ve already finished two and a half of them. It’s been wonderful to escape into someone else’s story for a little while. And it’s been SO long since I’ve read something purely for the fun of it.

I have a friend …

A new book

One of the things that Mr. Blue Eyes and I do together is read books and discuss them.  Can I tell you what a joy that is for me?  I’ve always wanted to be able to do that with a partner.

This week we’re starting a new book that we’re both excited about – Undefended …

Clearing the bookshelf

I have a lot of books.  Really…a LOT of books. Last night I decided to review my bookshelves with a singular question in mind: “If I were to move, would I want to carry this book with me?”

I went through the three bookcases in my bedroom and with that criteria, I managed to take …

Five Wishes

OOPS!  Yesterday afternoon I closed my eyes for “just a minute” at 4:00 p.m. and woke up again at 7:30 p.m. Which threw my whole evening into weirdness and I forgot to put up a post.  Oh well.  I’m pretty sure the world kept on turning.  🙂

Here’s a short but really cool miracle:
