Winter Weather

Jan 24, 2016 | Extra Extra

I’ve loved seeing all the pictures of the snowfall over the last few days. The perfect snow looks so peaceful and inviting. It makes me want to curl up with a warm cup of hot cocoa and read by a fire.

But then I look outside my window and I’m very grateful for my winters here…

Testimonial

Nov 29, 2015 | Testimonials

“I honestly can’t say enough about my experience with Nicole Bailey as my main editor. She’s professional and knows her craft well, but for me as a prolific (and at times scatterbrained) writer, her ability to keep up with my schedule and move as efficiently and effectively as she does – blows me out of the water. I’ll be working with Nicole  until she kicks me out and would recommend her to anyone and everyone. She’s a necessary element of my writing process and I’m beyond blessed to have been introduced to her.”

Happy Veterans Day

Nov 11, 2015 | Extra Extra

Today, on Veterans Day, I think of my grandfather and his willingness to leave my grandmother to fight in WWII. I’m so grateful for his service, and that my kids and I are able to still sit down and talk with him about his experiences. They love to hear about how he was in charge of making the officers homemade ice cream, and earned money on the side by ironing his shipmates’ uniforms because he was the best at it.

To my grandfather, and all the other men and women who have served, are serving, or will serve, I thank you.

Waiver vs. Waver

Sep 29, 2015 | Tuesday Tips

It’s been almost a month since I’ve posted a Tuesday Tip. This week we’ll look at the difference between waiver and waver. I’ve seen these words misused and confused more than once.

Waiver (noun) :

  • The act of not insisting on, some right, claim, or privilege.
  • A legal document releasing some requirement.
  • Something that releases a person from a requirement.

Waver (verb):

  • To fluctuate or vary
  • To shake or tremble
  • To sway back and forth; to totter or reel.
  • To be indecisive between choices; to feel or show doubt or indecision; to vacillate.
