My Creatively Random Life

Change. In general we tend to fear change yet without it nothing can move forward.  I am hugely guilty of this one.  I often deal with a status quo that does not make me happy because I am afraid of the unknown.  What will happen if I get a new job?  What is the dating scene like these days?  What happens if I try to make friends with the other parents at karate? There is nothing all that great about the status quo, and who knows what that change might bring?  More money? A trip?  More time with you family?  Take the plunge, change something small today.  Small change makes big ripples. 

Darcy Kincaid might be a runaway bride, but she still believes in happily ever after, which is why she’s devoted to helping couples orchestrate their perfect I do. Even though her fiancée turned out to be unfaithful and a big disappointment, Darcy walked away from her wedding fully committed—to her unborn daughter. Now, a single mom, it’s up to Darcy to secure her daughter’s future, which is why she’s invested her life savings into renovating Belle Mont Manor, Portland’s oldest, and nearly forgotten, wedding venue. So when Wedding Magazine offers her the cover for their June issue, in exchange for planning the wedding of a high-profile couple, Darcy thanks her lucky stars. Until the star’s best man turns out to be her ex’s brother…  The last time Gage Easton saw Darcy, she was sneaking out the back door of her own wedding—destroying his brother’s life. No way is he going to entrust the gorgeous jilter with his biggest client’s special day, no matter how much in love with ...

I find cats to be utterly fascinating creatures, they are just so adorable and mysterious.  My own cat especially, you can just never tell what the little angel is thinking.  The unusual look she gives us when she isn't demanding food or attention is one of utter disdain and I can only imagine what can be going on in her mind. You aren't actually leaving the house dressed like that?  There are many excellent stories that include cats, revolve around cats or just have a little tiny dash of cat in there.   My personal favorite cat quote comes from Terry Pratchetts's Sourcery.    "I meant," Said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"   Death thought about it. "CATS," he said eventually. "CATS ARE NICE." As you may know Terry Pratchett's Death is my very favorite written personification of Death ever.  But that is another post entirely.   Now, on to the neat things I le...
