BOOK REVIEW: YOUR NEXT SHIFT by ELIZABETH SCALA
I first heard of Elizabeth Scala when she joined RN FM Radio. I didn’t know how much I was missing a female voice on the show until she arrived (yay!). I didn’t know she was an author right away. I started following her on social media and that’s when I became aware of the breadth … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: YOUR NEXT SHIFT by ELIZABETH SCALA

I forget. Anyway, my friend and yoga teacher, Kristen, mentioned a book casually in … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: This is the Story of a Happy Marriage by Ann Patchett

I am sitting here on the couch trying to write a 'signature talk', which would be so much (expletive) easier if I could just decide on one topic, already! I am trying to figure out how to combine my metaphysical nurse blog with my kwrites blog under one domain, a version of my name, which … Continue reading Be still
Taping an interview for TV
It was my great pleasure and good fortune to be invited to be on Write Now with Gayle Heney. I met Gayle at the New England Authors Expo last summer. After the taping date was confirmed, a helpful email arrived with instructions for how to get there, what to wear, where to park... But back … Continue reading Taping an interview for TV
The power of one
I have been giving a lot of talks at local libraries. For my most recent one, I personally invited and Facebook invited a lot of people. A lot. Plus, it was a full moon in Gemini (my sign)! At 7:05pm! And my talk started at 7:00PM! I know this is a busy time of year for … Continue reading The power of one
