A Valentine for You
How is Valentine’s Day perceived? Valentine’s Day is a day that is very loved or despised. Maybe it has to do with the lack of a romantic partner in one’s life. Debb’s View of Valentine’s Day Where do I fall on the love or despise scale? I love Valentine’s Day. When I doodle, it is either flowers or hearts. As a child, red was my first favorite color. I enjoy watching Hallmark movies, and the majority of fiction I read is romance. Yes–I’m a sucker for happy endings. What am I Working On? The novel I am writing, my first fiction book, is a romance.

Hello, Friends!
It’s already the first of December! Can you believe it? I thought I’d let you know this blog now has a different theme. Have a happy December and holidays.
Christmas Story About Dogs
SANTA PAWS by Debbie Loesel Stanton Lucy, a large golden-haired dog and Abbey, a small white dog, lived in Florida. The year had gone quickly for them, and it was already December when their owner Ken took them to their favorite dog park. They loved running and playing at the park once a week. They were so thankful that he took very good care of them. Saturday morning On this December Saturday, Lucy and Abbey got tired of playing. Ken looked over at them when they were whining and barking. This was not too unusual, as Lucy and Abbey often had meetings to discuss important matters. Their meeting today…
Christmas Story About Cats
SANTA CLAWS by Debbie Loesel Stanton Zeke and Zoe, the charming one-year-old cats, had a discussion in early December. “I think we should get our cat mom, Joanie, to write a letter to Santa Claws for us. Didn’t we hear that Santa Claws is just like Santa Claus, how they both give gifts to young people and fur babies?” said Zeke. “Well, of course we should ask her, dear brother of mine, but how?

Almond Breeze Almond Milk–and Nog!

I like the Unsweetened Original kind, and I’m in love with their chocolate almond milk. Guess what I found today? Almond Breeze has egg nog! Well, not the real thing, obviously, but probably close to it! Just in time for the holidays! They call it “Nog”, and I’m anxious to try it at Christmas. In the meantime, I’m on Day 6 out of 21 of my detoxification way of eating. It’s going well, and I’m starting to feel better. I looked online, and…
Happy December!
It seems to me that we just finished celebrating the New Year! Eleven months of 2018 have already passed? Instead of posting a holiday-looking photo, I’m going with that of a white-tailed deer in the snow. It reflects the winter season in the Midwest…and a place to ponder the peace of gently-falling snow. There is a feeling of awe in the stillness. Meanwhile, the photo to the right has a saying I’m especially fond of…Do what you love, love what you do! May peace surround your month, your activities, and your heart.
