Synchronicity with Dave & Deb in the Morning
Originally written on August 18, 2016 Recently my reading started leaning toward history rather than fiction, especially history of the American revolution. After much prodding my husband finally persuaded me to listen to the writings of author David McCullough (through Audible recordings).

How to Map Your Own Domain Name to a WordPress Blog
When I first started researching how to set up a WordPress blog, I realized right away that I needed some expertise to answer a lot of questions that were surfacing.

Sculpting with Color
Review of Robin Coalson’s color class In the heart of downtown Benjamin, Utah, is a unique place called Hone Studio. Perhaps Benjamin does not really qualify as having a downtown, since I have never seen a stoplight anywhere and there are certainly no stores in this rural town. Yet, Hone Studio is a “happening” downtown…
