Not Your Average Lassie: May 2013
http://notyouraveragelassie.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Not Your Average Lassie. Wednesday, 22 May 2013. Wow, another hundred! I say as I watch free copies of my ebook A THISTLE IN THE MIST. Fly off the shelf'. But I instantly regret saying it aloud and feel compelled to reach over and rap my knuckles on the wooden table. Have I just jinxed my downloads? And yesterday when I told my mom I have never experienced writer's block, she grabbed my hand and forcibly marched me over to her dining table to 'knock on wood'. That's a lot of bad luck and the only way to ...

Not Your Average Lassie: January 2013
http://notyouraveragelassie.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Not Your Average Lassie. Tuesday, 29 January 2013. A Thistle in the Mist.My Inspiration. Something happened to me when I was eight years old. I couldn't have known how profoundly it would affect me until twenty-six years later when I sat down before my computer and slowly began to type. Sadness and desolation took hold of the three sisters. When their father finally returned for them, their joy was beyond compare. That joy, however, was short-lived. Their father had remarried while his girls ...Grandma w...

Not Your Average Lassie. Tuesday, 19 March 2013. Don't Make Me Kill You With Kindness. Ask yourself: Have you been kind today? Make kindness your modus operandi and change your world.'. Scottish Singer Songwriter, Political Activist And Philanthropist. I have never forgotten this experience, the surprise I felt within myself at coming up against my peers, the sadness on the boy's face. And it came down to a simple act of kindness.

Not Your Average Lassie: April 2013
http://notyouraveragelassie.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Not Your Average Lassie. Monday, 29 April 2013. My Book Signing or 'How I Almost Lost My Nerve'. It was 7:15pm - 1 hour and 15 minutes since I had set up my little table. I had sold 2 books to one person. And that person was my old college buddy. Things were not looking good. But I could feel the sweat starting to roll down my back and my smile was starting to quiver. Shoppers politely looked just above my head as they glided by on their way to the racks and racks of jewellery. Seeing Mr. Aldred afte...

Not Your Average Lassie: September 2013
http://notyouraveragelassie.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Not Your Average Lassie. Monday, 2 September 2013. I Must Have Been INSANE A CONFESSION AND AN APOLOGY. I awoke with a feeling of anticipation and a sick feeling of guilt - always the guilt. Today we were slipping away to Niagara Falls for some family time and a much needed mental rest for me. BUT (and this is a big but) my book was not yet finished and my deadline was looming. Like the Angel of Death awaiting my last breath, my self-imposed deadline weighed heavily upon my shoulders. She was sick too.

Not Your Average Lassie: When The Bough Breaks
http://notyouraveragelassie.blogspot.com/2014/06/when-bough-breaks.html
Not Your Average Lassie. Sunday, 8 June 2014. When The Bough Breaks. It is not yet dawn but I’ve been awake for hours. I run my fingers through curls the colour of a new penny and lean to kiss his cheek. He stretches and yawns then cuddles in close. I flex and relax my toes, the old rocker groaning a rhythm of comfort as I rock my son. Rosy strands of sunlight glide over the lip of the horizon and stream into the living room. Red sky in the morning, sailor's warning. My little sister leans into Mom, her ...
