frazzled & frumpy

"Words are, in my not so humble opinion,  our most inexhaustible source of magic." -Albus Dumbledore Today, I am grateful for writers.  Since the beginning of this month, I've read LOTS of blogs.  First I was surprised at how many bloggers there are. I'm also amazed at the many fabulous writers.  As a writer myself, I don't feel jealous of others talents (well, maybe a little), but I do appreciate their gifts and their willingness to share it. Writers have the power to uplift, empower and inspire, and literally change the world. Don't believe me? Look at JK Rowling.   She inspires me with her imagination.  My book is a fantasy and I have to admit I've sometimes had a hard time letting go of reality.  I worry that others wouldn't believe something in my story. Then,  I read the Harry Potter books and I'm in awe of her ideas and her profound insights.  Ms. Rowling  makes me want to be a better writer. As do the other bloggers. I don't ...

Do you remember this show? We watched it in reruns (I'm not quite that old.) and loved it. I always wished my mom could wiggle her nose and *BAM* the house would magically be clean.

Good question. Maybe because we all wish we could do something without any effort. Wave a wand and ta-da- done! So, in honor of this week's celebration, I'm going to try some magic. I'm going to make 5 pounds disappear! Ala-ca-dabra, hocus pocus!(wave of my wand) Bibbity-bobbity-boo! I'll let you know how it worked. What would you do if you were magically inclined?
