I’m Moving – Please Resubscribe!

Hey Peeps!

I hope this finds you all safe and healthy during the current crazy coronavirus crisis. (Say that five times fast!) [No. Seriously. I double-dog dare you, and post it on social media. No prize awarded for your participation, unfortunately.]

Well, I’m dropping a line here to let y’all know that, like so much in life, a change is gonna come. (Cue Otis Redding.)

I’ve been quietly working on my other website, mollyjorealy.com, and while it’s not full-on ready for eyes, pretty soon I’ll be moving content from Frankly, My Dear … read the rest. . .

Sweeten my tea and share:

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year.

As I haven’t posted for a long while, and as it’s a holiday for most, and as I’m typing this on my small iPhone instead of my laptop, I’ll keep it short and simple.

Times, they are a-changing.

I’ve been diligently working on, well, work. Of all kinds. Day job. Home front. Creatively. All the all’s.

And I’ve some great things happening so I hope y’all will stay connected.

But not everything changes. Or maybe, what’s old is new again. I’ve had writer’s block for months (evident by the lack of blog posts) and so two nights … read the rest. . .

(Or, An Interesting Thing Happened on the Way to Being Me)

Dear Yumi,

It’s been a while since we talked, and I’ve no one to blame but myself. I know, you keep telling me it’s okay to share the little stories, but I didn’t really believe it. I thought you’d want only the grand, out-of-the-box stories.

Insert self-doubt here, amiright?

I mean, do you really want to know about the hideous date who blew a straw wrapper at me over dinner? Or how … read the rest. . .

Come Alive and Stay Wild!

Come Alive and Stay Wild!
(Or, How a Missing FedEx and Crazy Hair Put Me Back on Track)

I was out with my girlfriends a few weeks ago, doing what we do. Eating. Talking. Planning. Shopping. Crafting. You know how we do.

So it wasn’t unusual when we hit up the craft store(s). That’s when the Bestie, the Seester and I parted ways to each conquer our own areas. We rallied at the checkout and I was reminded, by the incredibly huge bin of impulse-buy-me-now Ty Beanie stuffies, of how, for a while, … read the rest. . .

NOLA: Now What?

NOLA: Now What?

I’ve been hiding. No, that’s not true. I’ve really been working double-time finishing up the edits/audio proofs for NOLA on Audible. That’s been a great experience, and I’ll tell you the process in a different post.

Tonight I want to let you in on a little secret:

I’m starting over.

Yup. That’s right. But, no. It’s wrong.

I’m not rehashing everything. Just some things. I’m going to relaunch the FMD Blog just in time for the holidays. (Who else has already enjoyed Pumpkin Spice Lattes?)

I’m also taking a … read the rest. . .
