How Graphic Design Has Helped My Migraines
As you have noticed, it appears that I have deserted my very own blog!
I suppose this is accurate, but you see, I’ve been on a bit of an adventure, and spreading my wings too thin.
I’m delighted I kept this blog open and sincerely thank everyone who continues to read all of my earlier postings while leaving comments that I’ve neglected. I genuinely apologize for that.
In early fall 2017, I began writing articles for a site called Virily.com (they pay writers for their work) and thoroughly relished writing quizzes of all things. My writing has steered me to various spheres, but I’m new to inventing a quiz!
What was most exhilarating was realizing an old passion; art design!
When I was on Virily, a blogging friend revealed that she designs for a site called “Redbubble.” This miffed me, but as soon as I heard the word ‘design,’ I needed to investigate.
Redbubble.com is a ‘print-on-demand’ (POD) marketplace whereby a designer or artist uploads an image of their design to appear on a multitude of Redbubble products. They sell merchandise such as framed prints, apparel, mugs, pillows, duvets, cellphone cases and laptop sleeves, clocks, tote bags, etc. via online shopping.
All production, shipping and customer service is their responsibility, therefore, you don’t have to carry your own inventory and uploading is free. They pay you a percentage of each sale.
Rocks for Cancer Patients
What a wonderful and compassionate idea. This would be very soothing for someone experiencing a treatment, and I’m sure it made their life a little less painful if only for a few moments.
The project began about four months ago and I don’t foresee an end in sight. The blue wire basket sits on the table by the pharmaceutical window at the cancer center. It holds painted rocks with inspirational saying written on them in paint pens. Some rocks have hearts and flowers drawn on them because I […]
Amazing editor – your post can talk back to you!
I tried this app out and was surprised by the results – it’s a great editing tool. It’s free (can be upgraded for a cost) via download. Try it out!
Originally posted on The Write Stuff: Let me preface this post by saying that in my opinion, there is no app anywhere that will ever replace a good editor. Not everyone agrees with me, but I think the writers out there who can get away with skipping a professional editing are few and far between. If you…

January was an Award Winning Month!
January, I struck gold in the Blogging Award department!
Wow, this has been a sweet month for me, a special month of bloggers presenting me with various awards. I am flattered and honored to receive these awards, but I haven’t been accepting them, as time is one issue, and I’m leery of impeding on other blogger’s “Award Free Blogs”. I chose to accept these awards as my last.
Today’s award called “Champions Award” was from Living a Beautiful Life.
I’d like to thank Danica for an award I’m unfamiliar with, however, it is described as to why I was nominated.
“What is the Champions Award Health & Wellness Edition? My nominees blog is about diverse health and wellness topics and corresponding solutions. They seek to not only survive but thrive. They also share their knowledge and experiences in order to assist and encourage others”.
News Item: Blogger with torturous migraines has brain fog and taking a break from social media to clear head
Well, I’m confessing, I have some type of “brain fog”, that I’m sure is related to these migraine headaches. Summer has been crappy. Writing thoughts are not flowing, and my fingers on the keys aren’t cooperating either, so I’m giving my head a time-out for awhile and taking a break from social media. I’ll be checking in, so feel free to leave comments.
I’ve lived with these migraines for over 40+ years, assessed by countless neurosurgeons and oodles of tests, end result: “You have bilateral migraines” and that’s that. Translation: Live with it. I take preventative meds and a med if I snag one coming on. Currently, zilch is helping.
Thanks to new followers/viewers for checking out this blog, and others that have taken the time to comment on my posts. Be back soon.

I was a guest on a Radio Talk Show!
Yesterday, on “Hot off the Press” @Wordpress.com, they posted an article: “WordPressers Making a Splash”
We read hundreds of blogs and websites every day, from up-and-coming voices and established pros alike. We love visiting those sites on WordPress.com, but it’s just as rewarding to see other platforms embrace the work of writers, journalists, and artists who regularly publish here, introducing it to new audiences.
