I’m baaaa-aaack

Ta-da!!!That's right, I'm back. I'm sorry that I haven't posted in a long time, BUT with my book OFFICIALLY being released in 10 days (!!!!!), my agent/publisher/mother says I need to do my own promotions and marketing. A great way to do that is through my blog, so I'm going to try my very hardest to …

Sorry, sorry, sorry! I know, I know, I know,  I missed my first post of the new year, and I’m sorry! That has GOT to be the biggest blogger-fail EVER.

Kayla’s Corner~ Mini Post

I literally just walked in the door, into my house at 5:36. It is now 5:38 and I am writing this week’s blog post. The only reason I wasn’t typing this at 5:36 is because my laptop is incredibly slow when it comes to booting up and signing in(That was a subtle Christmas Wish item, …

Kayla’s Corner ~ A Missed Week and Memories

Ok, so, I’m gonna be real here. I didn’t post last week. I waited too long, and when I tried to write something down, it didn’t go too well and it wasn’t my best work. I didn’t want to put it ‘out there’. So I decided to be honest, just skip that post and do …

Journaling Pen Pals

I am a writer. I have always been able express myself better on paper. I can trudge through my emotions when I see them typed out. Putting thoughts into words forces me to explore them, otherwise I'm much more comfortable just shutting down. One of my daughters is like me in a lot of ways, …

Purpose Outside of Profit

Your value isn't based on your net worth. Your purpose isn't found in profit. Your usefulness isn't dictated by your salary. Even as I type this, my mind is playing devil's advocate. "Yeah but~" *fill in your rebuttal of choice* Personally, I am wired to measure the worth of my actions by their earning potential. …

Giving Back for the Holidays Without Breaking the Bank
