Julie and Julia
Has anyone read this book, Julie and Julia by Julie Powell? I just finished reading it here, in Italy. I am on vacation and spending a good deal of time on planes, trains, buses, and in a car. This is time which I am content to spend looking out windows and watching the rolling hills … Continue reading Julie and Julia
“I have spread my dreams…”
"I have spread my dreams beneath your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams."Â -W.B. Yeats I have been thinking about dreams a lot lately, dreams, and goals, and plans, and the future in general. Â My own and other people's. Â Life's work and life's worth. Â Can your dreams ever be just too … Continue reading “I have spread my dreams…”
Readers and Writers Networking Sites…
In this constant struggle of mine to find (make) time for reading, writing, and discussion, I have joined a few sites online. Â (As well as two book clubs which is a whole other story!)

They also … Continue reading Blackle
On a blustery, cold night
There's really nothing quite like a good book, a warm blanket, and a hot cup of tea on a blustery, cold night.  (Knowing that I don't have to get up for work tomorrow is nice too!) Wishing you all a relaxing evening. ~Melissa 🙂
Serein
I love rain and all things that go along with it.
All I Want For Christmas Is You
A while ago (around 14 years ago!) I started writing a short story inspired by the Mariah Carey Christmas song, "All I Want For Christmas Is You." Â Through the years the story has stuck with me and every once in a while I reread it or added a little bit to it. Â I have always … Continue reading All I Want For Christmas Is You
“I like to think of life in terms of…”
Ironically, I made time for myself to read for a little while yesterday - following my own advice from the previous post - and what I ended up reading related exactly to the "out of control circumstances" that I referred to the day before. Â This is a long passage from Nicholas Sparks' Three Weeks with … Continue reading “I like to think of life in terms of…”
“Being rich is having…”
Being rich is having money; being wealthy is having time. -Stephen Swid, executive (b. 1941) Nowadays, with so many of us worried about the economy, and many of us trying to stick to tighter budgets during the holiday season, I thought that this quotation was appropriate. The interesting thing though is that while there may … Continue reading “Being rich is having…”
