Zorro Finishes It Out

Zorro Finishes It Out

My final A to Z Challenge post is about the masked man, Zorro.  I’m thinking it’s a great way to end this month’s challenge and I kind of wish that I could make my own “N” slashes on this blog to celebrate the month – it’s been amazing! When I first got the idea to take this challenge, my only goal was to get back into the habit of writing everyday.  It was a goal that I could achieve after just…

Yankee Doodle

Yankee Doodle

Hi everyone!  I’m sorry my post is late today, had some appointments this morning.  How’s everyone’s Friday going?

What’s a Wampus?

The Valiant Tailor

The Valiant Tailor

Bravery is a funny thing.  It’s easy enough to associate bravery with policemen, firefighters, soldiers (as it should); it’s what first comes to mind if you think about it.  When I was considering the topic for today’s blog, I came across the story of The Brave Little Tailor and I thought, But what about everyday heroes? Just the other day I was reading an article about a lawn company that was working in a neighborhood and noticed an elderly lady…
