We had a quinceañera party (the Cuban equivalent of a Sweet Sixteen) at a very old inn. When we downloaded the photos, we noticed orbs in a number of photos. When we got back the photos from the camera with film, we also had more orbs. I decided to do some research and found out that people thought these were spirit orbs.

A Very Special Week – Ghost Stories
Last week I hosted Henri, the star of The Search for the Million $$$ Ghost. We had so much fun talking about ghosts and ghost stories, that I’ve decided we’re going to have a week long Ghost discussion and mini-contest starting TODAY! Continue reading “A Very Special Week – Ghost Stories”
Fashion Friday – Fitness Togs
Okay, I must confess that when I was about 60 pounds lighter, I bought some sexy exercise clothes to show off my svelte new figure such as these cute things from Otomix. (Although I never did the belly thing. Not me. Not my style.)

Thoughtful Thursday – How Time Flies
Today is a momentous day. My one and only is graduating high school. I’m sure I’m not the first parent to say this and I won’t be the last, but I can’t believe how time has flown. It seems like only yesterday that she was a tiny little baby. I remember her first steps and realize now that with those first steps she was already leaving me.
A difficult realization, but I also know this — she’s my best friend and will never be far.
On this very special day, here’s a wish for success in whatever she may decide to do! I know that with her passion and zest for life, she will always be reaching for the stars.
Wicked Wednesday – Wicked Ghosties Again

Starting Monday, June 25th, just leave a comment on one of the Ghostly Blogs. It could be just a “Hello” or your own account of a ghostly happening.

Writing Without a Net
I have a very special Guest Blogger today — Lynn Voedisch — a Chicago journalist and fiction writer with many years of experience working for newspapers and magazines.
Lynn’s latest release is Excited Light, “a story of magic and second chances.”
Thank you for providing this Tuesday’s Tip, Lynn!
Without a Net
There are writers who like things tidy, all neatly arranged and indexed. They probably have neat and organized houses, too. Then there are those of us who are called seat-of-the-pants writers, who work without a net and let our subconscious be our guide. I’m one of those writers who doesn’t use an outline. (My house is a mess, too.) It’s officially Not Recommended, but please understand that those of us who prefer this sort of free-form writing aren’t just flailing in the dark; we, too, have methods.

Thoughtful Thursday – Do you believe in ghosts?
Today’s Thoughtful is all about ghosts and quite frankly, I don’t know what I’m doing here.
I’m Stacia, a two thousand year old vamp and I’ve had my share of supposedly wrathful wraiths who could barely cause a goosebump. But Caridad asked me to visit this little inn to meet a new friend of hers – Henri de Montmorency, the Ghostest with the Mostest. Normally I’d be disinclined for such a meeting, but it was Caridad who asked and while I am nearly invincible over most immortals and humans, for Caridad I’d do anything. After all, she is the one who created me – Stacia – and has promised to give me yet another interesting adventure next year. In Miami no less. After experiencing the passion of one particularly intriguing Cuban, I can’t wait to go south and see what Caridad plans for me. Who knows, I might finally meet a man who is a worthy match for me.
