Bell Let's Talk Day is today, January 28th, and I wanted to write a post to discuss a mental health issue close to me. This is from my Instagram post today... For The Quiet is quite a departure from the type of books I write, but it was something I needed to do. After struggling [...]
For The Quiet's first review is in!
For The Quiet - Coming November 2020 This website is very much like my journal and I tend to share things here that I may not share with just anyone. There is something comforting and protective in sitting behind the screen of a laptop and talking about the things in my life that feel like [...]

Dear Tuesday, Why, oh why do you feel like Monday? Is this just the first repetition in a Groundhog Day series of events? No. Please. No. It's early yet, let's get a cuppa joe down (or two) and reassess. You may feel like a Tuesday yet! I believe in you. Signed, Cautiously Optimistic
