A couple of years ago, I wrote several short stories with the intent of submitting them to short story competitions. I did enter one of my short stories, but I didn’t win anything. This was the second short story I wrote, which was based on a writing prompt from Writer’s Digest (I think). Late Night Phone Call is about a woman, Deidra, who receives a late night phone call from a friend, Stephanie, who is in danger and needs Deidra’s help. I hope you enjoy it… and thanks for taking the time to read it! Also, feel free to leave comments, […]
3 a.m.
I wrote a free-form poem (or something) on 7/14/1994 entitled “3 a.m.” It’s nothing fancy, but I found it along with all the short stories and poems I wrote as a teenager, which dates back to 1989.

My keep pile ended up quite […]
A Few of My Favorite Things: Products I Love!
There are certain things that I like, and then there are other things that I love. Here are some of the skincare and haircare products I love and currently use. I have a fairly low-maintenance skincare and haircare routine, which is a blessing considering the fact that I’m nearing the big four-oh (40)! My skincare routine is simple. I wash my face with Mary Kay facial cleansing cloths. Then I moisturize with either Josie Maran Argan Oil (mornings) or grapeseed oil (at night). I never wore make-up growing up, except maybe concealer. I did experiment with make-up several times in either high […]
