our tragedies and trials, but somehow, we usually manage to band together and face them with as much strength as possible.

My husband and I have been together for… let’s say we met in 1983. He is not only my companion and friend, but also the guardian of my imagination. I imagine I am not easy to live with on a regular basis, especially because I am not always present where my feet are, but I also tend to babble and talk to my characters as I am plotting. Yes, he deserves a medal.

For thirty years, I was the teacher in a classroom. It was an experience I would never give up and I hope I made a difference for those students, but underneath the apple crusted desk, I was always a writer, an observer and a student of human behavior and responses. My imagination tends to fly in a million directions and it takes a cage to keep it focused.

Tha applications are endless and get funnier as you try it on. ”Look at that, can…

Safety First

By Julia Schmeelk | September 12, 2018

With major storms hitting our coast, volcano 🌋 activity in Alaska and all manner of other challenges, please consider your safety and the security of those around you. It is easy to make decisions based on emotion as things happen, but logic needs to take over. Evacuation can be smart and in a contest of wills, nature always wins. Do not put yourself in a position to rely on others…
