Salut, my friends!

Today is the final day of RRBC’s 30-Day Blogging Challenge!  I know, many wonder why I was participating, although I would not be able to win any prizes.  Well, for two reasons. 

There is a quote that I live by that says, “Never try to lead others, where you yourself are not willing to go.”  Now, here’s the thing.  I think this is my quote (LOL) but I can’t remember for sure.  It’s in my phone, and written over everything I own.  I’ve had it for years, and when I performed a Google search today, it yielded no results.  So, I’m going to say it’s mine, but, if I’m wrong, I’m sure one of you will tell me. 

So, the first reason I joined the challenge is I would never ask anyone to do something that I would not do.  That’s…

Hello, friends!

This is a piggy-back off of my post from Friday, 1/27/23.  Wanda Fischer left the following comment which gave me the idea for today’s post:

Empty is what I feel, watching the news and the senseless death of Tyre Nichols. His empty call for his mother’s help. The emptiness of the senseless violence that ended his life. The emptiness that the families of the five police officers who committed this heinous crime must be feeling. Empty as I made my way through the Civil Rights Museum in Memphis, attached to the Lorraine Motel, viewing the senseless violence perpetrated on citizens of this country by virtue of the color of their skin. The emptiness I felt when, in another part of Memphis, I stood in the hotel room once occupied by Martin Luther King, Jr., minutes before he died of senseless violence at the…

Hello, friends!

On a more serious note, tonight I’d like to share the dangers of sharing your kids on the internet; young kids AND your adult kids.  As many of you know, I am an extremely private person and one who believes that some of you, my dear friends, share just a tad bit too much.  I am excited to see photos of you sharing your time with family and friends, and the babies, etc., but, in my mind, before sharing, I assume that you have given serious thought to the repercussions that come along with that over-sharing of info.

Aside from sharing too much about your young kids, their full names, what sports they play, what school they play those sports out of, etc., some of you also tend to share too much about your adult kids, as well; where they work, where they live…

Hi, friends! A little something for you to “mull over.”

Hello, Friends!

Welcome to another Nonnie Mull-Over Moment! Ever heard of that?  Well, that’s when Nonnie gets a thought in her head that she can’t shake until she’s mulled over it, and made sense of it.

I didn’t sleep well last night, but, that should not have surprised me, because I didn’t rest well enough to even fall asleep.  I tossed and I turned while my hubby massaged my back and ran his fingers through my hair.  I’m a little puppy when someone runs their fingers through my hair, by the way.

After I couldn’t fall asleep, even as my beautiful hair massage continued, I decided to just get up.  Slipping on my robe and my slippers, I went into my writing room and laid back on my chaise.  It’s so relaxing, it helps me clear the noise from my head so that I can focus…

Hello, friends!

Today, while placing a call to my cable company, the rep that answered the phone introduced herself as Sora.  For those of you who don’t know it, I love names, and the odder they are, the better.  The more different they are, the more I want them as characters in my books. 

“What a beautiful name, Sora!  I’m a writer, and I hope you won’t mind that I’m going to use it in one of my stories.” 

Poor Sora.  I didn’t ask if I could use her name; I just told her that I would. But, it’s not like there’s a copyright on it or anything like that, I’m sure. 

Because I had no idea what today’s post would be about, and the name Sora was just soaring through my mind, I thought I’d pen something quick, using Sora as my main character.  And…

Hello, friends!

It’s funny how reading someone else’s blog post can give you the inspiration for your own.   

Yesterday it was my intention to catch up on visiting the blogs of my fellow RRBC members who are also blogging with me in this 30-day challenge.  I was pretty sure that I had made my way through all of the day 4 posts, so I moved on to day 5, and decided to start at the bottom of the list and work my way up; it’s easy to always begin at the top and when you get tired, forget about those on the bottom.  I made it as far as reading Author, D. M. Atwood’s Day 5 post, and leaving a comment before the unthinkable happened… my brain shut down.  I was seeing double.  My mind was swirling and I couldn’t formulate a thought.  I…

Hello, friends!

I am blogging earlier this evening as there is something weighing heavily on my heart. Some of you know that I am a reality TV junkie, mostly for Bravo TV shows, though. I love the Real Housewives of Many (not all… many). Although I love reality TV that comes from Bravo, it’s not the only reality-ladened network that I watch.

One show that I have never gotten into was the CHRISLEY KNOWS BEST show. I’d heard about them, but I never got into the show, so since I don’t have personal background to share, I called on Wiki for help. (He knows everything about everybody!) (Chrisley Knows Bestis an Americanreality televisionseries that premiered on theUSA Networkon March 11, 2014.^[1]It revolves around the lives ofGeorgiareal estate tycoon Todd Chrisley and his wealthy family.^[2]

“My past is where I use to live; I was slumming.  My present is in a much better neighborhood.”  ~Nonnie Jules

(Taken from UNTITLED – THE QUOTES DIARY:  “Life in Quotes”)

***

Last Thursday, I received an email from a reader asking me to explain one of my quotes from UNTITLED – THE QUOTES DIARY.  “Nonnie, I love this quote, but would you explain it to me more?  I want to make sure that I am comprehending it the way you intended.” 

Tonight, as I racked my brain for what I’d blog about, I had an idea… why not select another one of my favorite quotes from the book and expound on it… for you… the reader? 

To explain the quote at the beginning of this post, I must begin with a definition.

PAST:  1) the time gone by;  2)  the history of a…

Hello, friends and neighbors!  Yes, I’m welcoming my neighbors over tonight.  Everyone, come on in and find yourself a comfy seat.

By now, the world knows of Lisa Marie Presley’s passing.  Yesterday afternoon, like you, I heard that she had been rushed to the hospital under cardiac arrest.  While online, I notice that someone has asked the question, “What is cardiac arrest?”  And although a few superior folks in that stream made fun of the person asking (you know, because they know EVERYTHING), this was a sincere ask from someone who just didn’t know.  Tonight, I’m sharing what I know or have learned in research.

CARDIAC ARREST happens when the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops pumping.  When this happens, blood stops flowing to the brain and other vital organs.  Nine out of ten people who experience cardiac arrest outside of the hospital, usually dies within…

Hello, friends!

Yesterday, the hashtag that I used at the end of my post was #Hate.  

I did promise you a lighter post tonight.

I’m still in the throes of getting a couple of editing projects off my desk, so, although this is a short post, you will leave here with a smile.

The hashtag for tonight’s post is #Joy.

This is the world I want to leave behind for my children and their children.

What a difference a day makes.

And the best part is, tonight I don’t want to watch anyone get run over and flattened by a train!

Until tomorrow…
