No Dream…
Is ever too big to dream.
As we go from here…
To here…
Wonderfully, yet again!
Happy inauguration and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day!

Fine Leather Goods…
I’m so feeling the need for a Treat Yo Self day, even if that day is treating myself to a day in bed. But alas, I am under deadline so I don’t see that day happening for at least a month so I’ll be making due by living through Tom and Donna from Parks and Rec.
If you had a day what would you Treat Yo Self to?
Best,
KMJ
M’kay…
Sometimes you’ve gotta see it to believe it.
What are you believing in today?

Just Wild About Maggie…
I’m so happy that Downton is back for another season. All I could think as I watched this past week was if only I could be as witty and as quick with the comebacks as the Dowager Countess. What a fine sharp tong she has. Here are 10 of her best quips. Enjoy!
All the best,

It’s Monday…
Time to hit the ground or the Underground running. Spotted this line while down by Wall Street this weekend. How New York is that and P.S. why have I never noticed these two next to each other before? I’m sure Jay Z has.
Have a great week!
All the best,
KwanaThinking and Reading in the Pink!
On Christmas morning I got a gift from the family that brought the widest smile to my face. A long hinted at Kindle Paperwhite. I have and love my Kindle Fire but I find with all my night reading the Fire with it backlight technology has been a little hard on my eyes also I do like to read late into the night causing my DH to often wake and say are you still up?
Since the Paperwhite came out me and my eyes have been lusting after it and its e-ink down-light technology that is easier on the eyes not to mention the 3G capabilities. Well let me tell you just a few days in and I’m already in love. It’s compact and light weight and my eyes are breathing a sigh of relief.
Now I’m not giving up my Fire. I still love it for its other features, my email, Netflix, Words with Friends and not to mention my entire cloud library is over there too, shared with the Paperwhite, but as a dedicated e-reader the Paperwhite is it for me.
Now all that said there came the dilemma of a cover. I couldn’t have my Kindle going and getting scratched but the cover quest was something that could make a person like me crazy. Thankfully I had Twitter to go to for my answer. I ended up getting rave reviews for the cover that puts the Paperwhite to sleep and wakes it up when you open and close it.
And going with my new theme for 2013 of brights for the New Year and taking my DD’s direction I decided to step out of my usual black zone and THINK PINK! Happy Reading to me! Hey at least my e-reader won’t go getting lost in the dark.
What do you think? Are you feeling in the pink so far for 2013?
All the best,

Old or New School Planning
Am I one of the only ones still fighting the calendar feature in my phone? I never even look at the thing. Well, that is not true. I did try a few times to program a meeting in once and failed miserably. Bells and chimes going off at all sorts of inappropriate times. But that said, my old pen and paper has never let me down.
Though I’m more of a Pantser in my fiction writing I’m a Plotter in my everyday life and I’m the type of person that keeps it old school and still has to write things down on paper for it to be true in my mind. I’ve used a Filofax for years. My kids always know what mom means when she says, “go and get me my red book.” And years before that one it was a book of another color. I have to say the planners seemed to last longer than the phones I’ve had.
Well over the past weekend I got a pretty new Kate Spade leather planner that I think I’m going to love. A happy new color for a Happy New Year! I will say I’m hesitant to write in it but sadly, the year is already starting to fill up so time to get planning. Let me at it!
So are you Old School or New?
All the best,
KMJ
Psst… 2013!
Love me forever and I’ll heart you for always!
Peace and Love to all of you in the New Year!

Laters 2012!
I’m saying a cheery goodbye to 2012 and a happy, hopeful hello to 2013 with one of my old faves, a chippy Time Warp two step. Won’t you don your bobby socks, put your hands on your hips, bring your knees in tight and join me?
See you all in Lucky 2013!
All the best,
KMJ
Happy Belated (really, Kwana?) 5th Blogiversary to Me!!
Oh my goodness! Here it is my blog birthday has come and gone and I totally missed it. How like me is that one?
But you see, like myself, ye old blog has become a woman of a certain age and as with women of a certain age it seems we’d rather forget such milestones and just keep things moving, you know going on with the day to day, no fanfare and all that. But you know these things must be noted and indeed celebrated just as the as the turning of the New Year.
So please raise a glass with me to ye old blog and more importantly raise that glass to all of you! Cheers and thanks so much for hanging with me all these years and for your wonderful support of by debut novel Through The Lens! I’m currently deep into writing book 2. Working to make that an even bigger, better and sexier story so please look out for updates here and on my Facebook page. Big hugs and lots of smooches all around.
In the year to come I hope to make ye old blog bigger and better and yes, I hope a bit more interesting. I also hope for myself, not to give resolutions and definitely not to be bigger, but I do hope to be better and maybe more interesting. Yeah, we’ll see how that goes but for a change I’d like to make it my plan to have more fun trying.
Here’s to living your story in 2013!
All the best.
