I woke up this morning with this overwhelming feeling of being at peace. You might wonder why today of all days I might be feeling that. This isn't a surprise or revelation. Most days, I reside in a place of serenity, but today is different. A year ago today, my...

I finally have a little space to exhale. Myla, our German Shepherd foster, has started training and her stint as a Tasmanian devil is slowly evaporating. Meanwhile, I am no longer sleep deprived and have the ability to string together some coherent thoughts. Lucky...

Have you missed me? Since getting the puppy, I find myself napping when she naps. This middle-age woman is too old for this shit. Anyway, between promoting my new book, My Turn, (links to purchase on my website www.authorallisonjones.com) and crate/potty training an...
