Mantra for 2025
I hope you had a nice Holiday! We visited with family, we had some down time with our girls, and we all got some sleep and rest, which was so nice, and we have had a couple snow days! And, I cannot believe our little girl is turning six-and-a-half-years-old next week! She is growing in every way and she loves learning, she is incredibly creative, and she is curious about everything, which I hope never ceases! Our fur girl, Victory, is doing well, too, thankfully!
2024 was a very intense year, which included putting my first book, ABANDONED: Chronicling the Journeys of Once-Forsaken Dogs, into the world, which was no small or easy feat, for sure! In the past, I have chosen a word for the year. This year, coming off a very intense year, I have decided that I am going to concentrate on what is in front of me, work hard, and have fun! This idea came from a recent memoir entitled, Be Ready When the Luck Happens: A Memoir, which I loved. Maybe a mantra or a word, an intention will work for you; I think it is best to embrace the new year in some way that works for you! So, I am doing things a little differently this year!
Wishing you a Happy New Year!


Here is ABANDONED: Chronicling the Journeys of Once-Forsaken Dogs out in the world at a book store!













I love reading about you and your adventures with Alex and Victory!
Happy New Year to you too
