Did Country Singer, Carly Pearce, Just Release A Song About Her Ex?
Carly Pearce is moving forward with her musical career! There's no doubt that she's talented and Chris Stapleton obviously agrees, or he wouldn't agreed to have been featured in her new song, "We Don't Fight Anymore."

How Do You Find Happiness in the Present?
Living in the present isn’t easy for me. I can’t speak for other people but I’m always thinking about where I want to be next month, next year, five years from now, or when I retire. Always.

In the Mind of an ADHD Writer
Some might not call me a “real” writer. I don’t write every day (although I’m always thinking about writing something). I don’t make a living off of my writing (although I do make money). And I’m certainly not on any best-seller lists. I don’t even have a huge social media following.

You Can Catch More Flies with Honey
I’ve spent about 15 years of my working life in the hospitality industry. I’ve worked both back of house (kitchen, dishwashing, prep) and front of house (serving). I love being a waitress though. Some say I am good at what I do. I say I am not the best waitress in the world — but even when I mess up you will usually be pretty happy with my service because I have a good attitude.

Chew the Bones
Looking at the people that mingle around Nana’s home, speaking in hushed tones, I can think of nothing but my Bompy’s voice saying, “Don’t forget to chew the bones in your juice!”

My Best Writing Tool Can't Even Access the Internet
What is your biggest complaint as an author? Is it the piddly sales? Maybe for a few of you but for most of us the money isn’t the reason we write, is it? Is it sitting for hours while you pour your heart out onto the pages? Not likely. We don’t even need readers because writing is something we do because we must — not for the fame and fortune?

Loving Another Man
Love is hard sometimes. No, not sometimes. A lot of the time. We think it should be easy, but really, have you ever had a love that was always easy?

Why Don't You Visit Me Anymore?
Dear Lindsay, You haven't come to visit me in a long time... not in my dreams, not when I'm awake. Don't you know how much I still need you?

Me and Medium are Not Getting Along
I've been writing on Medium for several years now. Over those years, I've made about $5,500 US. That works out to around $7,300 Canadian. I mean, that's not bad for a casual income, right?

50 Ways to Have a More Exciting Life
It happens to everyone at some point in our lives — we get bored and we start looking for ways to have a more interesting life. For most people, their life is built on doing the same things every day. We have routines and structure. And those can be good at times — but not all the time. Sometime you just need to do something to make your life more interesting.

9 Things I've Learned from My Freelance Writing Career
I’ve been writing online since about 2005/2006 — almost 15 years. Even when I wasn’t doing it full time (and I’m not right now but I am working back to that and I am taking new clients), I was learning and honing my craft.
