Are you evacuating?
I live in Florida and have been since 1999. I have weathered many storms, some of them scary and others inconvenient. During the fall when people are enjoying Indian Summer and red, yellow, and orange leaves, I track the weather in the tropics no matter where those storms lead. This is because I care about the people, the animals, and the communities that are in the storm’s path and am praying for their safety.
Whenever there is a storm churning toward Florida, I am often asked by people who live outside of the state if I am evacuating. This is a common question, so let me address it. One should evacuate if authorities make it compulsory and warn you that your life is in danger....

Is your writing life a blur? 3 Ways to Eliminate Writer's Block.
1.Start chilling.
If your mind is clogged, your thoughts and distractions will affect your writing. You may not see where the clog is, but a clog is a clog.STEP 2: Start talking to yourself.
Talk like no one is listening. Talk about things that are on your mind, problems, concerns, rants, complaints.
Get rid of all the negative garbage that’s been holding you back.
STEP 3: Write for 15minutes a day.
Use a notepad and paper and set a timer for 15 minutes and write nonstop. Don’t worry about what you are writing, don’t worry about how it sounds, don’t worry if you have nothing to say.Don’t worry.Just write.

Ithought I'd write about coffee today.
I have quit drinking coffee many times.
Yes, it's the smell that lures me back every time.
I enjoy a good cappuccino and even a latte, but I always fall back to those flavored coffees, amaretto and almond, especially. Those flavors just seem to go naturally with coffee.
For me, coffee is more than just coffee.
It is warmth, goodness, nourishment, and comfort all rolled into one.
I also love frothed milk, honey, and whipped cream with it, too, and it becomes more to me like a dessert. Ialso love to drink it while writing. It makes writing so much easier.
What's your beverage of choice and why? What does it mean to you?
