Curves Welcome Blog
Welcome to my blog where you are free to interact in a safe, friendly place. I come here often to write about my writing journey, positive living, taking action and inspirations.
Here’s Why I Blog:
Writing helps me sort out life’s twists and turns. Life is certainly full of them, offering lessons at every bend in the road. With each curve I come across, a new message seems to stare me in the face, begging for me to take notice, learn from it, and move onward. If I didn’t write, I don’t know if I’d stop and listen to what life is trying to teach me. You see, I’m always on the lookout for interesting adventures to ponder and then reflect on through stories and blog posts. Writing books is my fuel, and exploring ideas through blogging is my catalyst.
Please feel free to explore past posts and join in the discussions.
Wishing you the best always!
Love,
Suzie

4 Ways to Jumpstart the Day
Back when I was a teenager, the idea of a jumpstart to the day consisted of more sleep. I moaned and groaned when my alarm would blare at six in the morning. I’d begrudgingly climb out of bed, cursing the day for starting so early. My eyes would remain half-closed as...
