My favorite season is summer!

My all-time favorite season is summer (if you haven’t already guessed!). I love the warmth, sun, and being near the ocean. I also love being able to garden and being able to snag a sun warm tomato right off the plant. How about you? What’s your fav season and why? #summer #summervibes #wisdomwednesday

On this Memorial Day, remember those who gave all and those who sacrifice so much so that this Nation and its people will remain free. God bless or military men, women, and their families. God bless America.

P.S. – If you want to help out our wounded veterans, this charity was recommended to me by a military doctor and I have donated to them! Hope for the Warriors.

#ThrowbackThursday A Quinceanera!

In Latin tradition, girls are given a quinceanera, or Sweet 15, in order to celebrate their passage from girl to woman.

We had a quinceanera for my daughter with our family and close friends as well as a number of her friends. It was a lovely time and I think everyone had a blast!

Part of the tradition is that the women of the family, mom, aunts, grandmother and godmother, each present the young woman with a gift that symbolizes the passage. Things like earrings, bracelets, rings and other items that a woman would wear.

Here are some photos of my daughter, her godmother (my sister), her aunt, her grandmother and me doing that rite of passage.

Here is a photo of my daughter, hubby and me. If you believe in such things, you will notice the orbs that were present in this photo and many of the others. One friend who attended and is a sensitive said the place was haunted. It could be. We had the celebration in an old inn that has been around since 1843.

Just 1 More day until South Beach Love

With only a day left until the release of South Beach Love contemporary romance, I have to share a secret: If I wasn’t a romance author, I’d love to be a chef! I guess that’s why the hero and heroine in South Beach Love are both chefs. It’s always why I loved weaving some fabulous recipes into the book along with a very sweet romance and engaging story about friendship and family ties. Did I mention that when you buy the book you get a free, fabulous, original recipe from Hallmark?

So on this Motivation Monday, take a moment to share what you want to be!
