I don’t know about you but I LOVE the Olympics. I’m not a sports person but I get wrapped up in all the sports. Maybe because it only happens once every four years or maybe because it’s not every day I can watch rowing or fencing but I love the events, I enjoy the back story of the athletes, and I just like the energy.

These athletes work so hard on achieving their dream and it puts in perspective how easily some of us non-Olympians give up on our dreams just because they seem hard to achieve. It comes down to mind-set. The commonality of these athletes is their commitment to the goal, their positive attitude. I’m sure they too have days where they don’t feel like they are making progress but when it comes right down to it they persevere. They don’t stop but continue to work their ass off the next day and the next. As a result they are in London living their dream.

Congrats athletes for being a great example to all of us!

I almost peed my pants

Wallflower in Bloom by Claire Cook was OMG, rip roaring, hilarious! I laughed out loud so many times that my significant other went into the other room to work (I think spitting wine out my nose was the last straw for him). While I also enjoyed Claire’s first book, Must Love Dogs which turned into… Read the Rest »

FREE Stilettos & Scoundrels

Gently touching the handle of the front door was all it took to make it swing wide open. It was late, after midnight, and everyone in the house except Tom was asleep. As usual, Tom was in his study working late. Walking carefully and quietly through the foyer, the adrenaline began to kick in. The intruder confidently walked into Tom’s study. Tom was concentrating so hard on the papers in front of him that he was unaware of anything else. Raising his hand, the intruder hit a stack of books sitting on a side table, sending them crashing to the floor. Tom spun around with a look of shock on his face as he recognized the person swinging a sharp object toward him. Tom raised his hands to protect himself but he wasn’t quick enough. The spikey end of the stiletto heel punctured his neck instantly, sending a spray of blood over the papers on his desk. He tried to cry out, but all that sounded was a gurgling noise as his lungs filled with blood.

The intruder set the shoe down next to Tom and backed out of the room softly, closing the door to the study and hoping no one would come looking for Tom until morning.
