Sports are such a big part of our lives. We send our kids to play, we watch them on TV, but how much do we really appreciate our Coaches? They work hard to teach our children teamwork, and commitment, while still having fun. I wrote this poem for all the coaches out there, and for those of you who would like a new way to say thank you. This poem can be found on a variety of gifts in the Sports - Coach section my Zazzle store; NikiClix Creations.

Light - by William G. Aitken
If you ever want to read something different, something with a unique writing style, something that will make you think, make you wonder, and make you feel good - than Light is it.
This time around, William G. Aitken, has thrown caution to the wind and wrote from his instincts and heart. This book is an amazing example of what a writer can do without the constricts of form, rules and regulations to hold him down. It is different from other works of William's which are mainly thriller, horror, and other genres, that we all love to see.
This work proves what a diverse Author he is. Once you have read this, and other works of his, you will see how broad, and how promising this new young Author is, that has exploded onto the scene.
When I read this book, I did not know what to expect. It's rich with descriptions and fast moving plot that will take you on a wild ride.
Every time I read one of William's books I am pleasantly surprised, and I can't wait for more!
Light, is available at Amazon.

School Days!
Many people are gearing up for back to school this weekend. So get out and enjoy the barbeques and weather if you can, summer will be over soon.
Those of you who know me, know I hold a special place in my heart for the paraprofessionals who work in our schools. Their dedication and commitment should not go unnoticed. They provide the backbone of the classroom, and an extra heart for the children to turn to. Although I am a Teacher Aide myself, the designs were created with all of my colleagues and friends in mind. I know how much of ourselves we put into our work everyday, and I am proud to be a part of such a wonderful group of people.
I have dedicated some designs to the appreciation of Teacher Aides, Teacher Assistants, Special Education and more, and I am happy to say, that there are many people from the US and abroad, who have shown their support to their own classroom staff.
Here is a key chain I created to appreciate all the great Teacher Aides:

Me-Sponsible!
A few years ago, I came up with the term;
Me-sponsible:
The act of being responsible to ME - for the benefit of my health, happiness and well being.
I put it on to t-shirts and mugs and different gifts on my online stores. Since then, I have seen my quote used in different blogs around the internet, and I'm glad that people are finding it helpful in their own personal health quests. That was my intention.
Recently, I've discovered even more ways for me to apply the term Me-sponsible for myself, than I originally thought. At first, it was a way to keep my focus on my health quest without letting the influence of others, or taking care of others first, get in my way. But now, I've discovered how much more important it has become for me to keep that focus. I don't want to let the cat out of the bag too early, but I will say, I will be writing a short true memoir account of my story of Me-sponsible, and where I go from here.
I hope to have it published on Amazon Kindle and other ebook devices before the end of the year. Along with Ginny's Sacrifice, a paranormal fictional novella, and a few other paranormal fiction short stories.
In the mean time, here is a keychain with my design and quote:
Have a great day!

Vacation!
Hi everyone,
It's been a while since my last post, sorry about that. Today I'm officially on vacation from my day job. So now I can really focus on my writing and designing, and just doing what ever I want. I'll be visiting my 95 year old Grandmother soon also. She is a gem. Lots of good stories come from her wisdom and experience. It's amazing how much can be acquired in the span of 95 years. I've been very lucky to have her still with us.
The weather is beautiful, great day for going for a walk. I come up with my best ideas when I'm surrounded by nature.
Have a great day!

First Draft
Hi all, my first draft of Ginny's Sacrifice is done! Yea! Alas, there is still much work to be done. But I have to say, the first draft is always my favorite because you never know where the journey will end up. So now comes the task of checking and rechecking and all that fun stuff. I'm hoping that by the end of the year (or sooner) that Ginny will be ready for publication.
In the mean time, I will be working on some short stories, while I'm letting Ginny's story rest for awhile. I've started one already, and so far, so good.
I'll keep you posted!

Ginny's Sacrifice...Coming Soon!
Ok I'm getting excited! I'm now five chapters into my new book! It's a fun time travel story that I hope to have finished in the next few months and published with Amazon, Kindle. This has been such a fun journey for me. I have lots of other ideas in the works also for future books. I can't wait to get started with them. Writing has always been a passion of mine along with designing, and with ebooks, I can get them out to the public in a jiffy.
In the mean time, here is a sneak peak at the cover, I couldn't resist!
