Thanks so much Roz ~ Loved your reading yesterday!

But I don’t want to wear a weighted vest

Pub Day! If you want to know how I’m doing, I just tried to refill my coffee by turning on the kitchen sink.

Thank you!!

Get yourself a friend who will chat with you on the phone on the way to a coffee shop where you’re meeting up to chat some more.

Thank you 🍇 !!

A comment on safety grapes.

One tiny moment from the brilliant memoir MOTION DAZZLE: A Memoir of Motherhood, Loss, and Skating on Thin Ice by @jocelynjanecox.bsky.social. Out September 30 from Vine Leaves Press.

It's not that Bruce Willis' wife Emma hired full time care for him in a separate space (they have the means to do this); it's that ALL caregivers in this country should have the access to professional help in a safe environment when the health needs escalate beyond a manageable capacity.

The freedom for so many people to have so many guns with so few regulations sure is making me feel unsafe.

Have skort, will travel.

(To a coffee shop.)

To write.

(In my financial spreadsheet.)

Long long ago……

Motion Dazzle: Here are some scenes, some moments, some stripes of my memoir…

I don’t want a ballroom. I want, among other things, PBS, clean water, and for other countries to not loathe us.

Yep! 😂

An app, but to track all the books you’ve pre-ordered from various booksellers.

Which ones? From where? When arriving?

Thx Elizabeth! 🙌

I was feeling pretty good during the audiobook recording of my memoir until I came to two lines I needed to…sing.

my legs
they are dotted
with mosquito bites

God give me the strength to stop doing things the most inefficient way possible.

Thank you!! 😊💛

Thank you Julie!! :)

COVER REVEAL! Tah Dah! 

Motion Dazzle, my memoir about caregiving, dementia, finding love, the “sandwich generation” and new motherhood, with a figure skating backdrop and zebras galloping throughout comes out 9/30/25 from @vine_leaves_press . ✨ I am so grateful for this design. 💛

Let’s hope

Ahhh need to add that to the list (and prepare myself)
