If you want something badly enough, you'll work hard to make it happen. This is the "loot" Rebecca and I raised last fall so that we could go to New York for an agent/editor conference. We had a big garage sale and gathered every bit of loose change we could find to come up with a big portion of the money we needed. The big splat of bird poop on the hood is a nice touch, don't you think?
The garage sale worked out and great and yes, we did make it there! It was a lot of fun and I'll have to post some of our interesting happenings from the trip sometime. We actually made all that in one morning! We had everything all cleaned up by noon.
This blog is in the process of being updated as of Dec. 2008...check back in for changes!

Fasten Your Seatbelts...It's going to be a bumpy ride.
Coffee With Mz. Jackson, introduces...
Mz. Jackson, local journalist, wannabe New York Times Best Selling novelist, who works hard to further truth, justice and the American way. Of course the fact that she loves to write fiction, which is basically lying and getting paid to do so, doesn't seem to live up to her creed, but she has no time for such details...Mr. Jackson: Mz. Jackson's mostly sweet spouse who has a bit of a devilish streak that keeps one wondering: "What's that man up to now?"Her Royal Highness: Mz. and Mr. Jackson's beautiful eldest daughter, whose Aries nature endows her with a sense of natural royalty and prompts her to lord it over her siblings and anyone else who will let her.Jock Genius: The only son in the Jackson family whose high intelligence and athletic prowess make for an interesting combination.Sweet Baby: The Jackson's lovely youngest child, whose continuous struggle to dethrone Her Royal Highness makes for darn good entertainment.Also starring:Sunnybrook Rebecca: Mz. Jackson's esteemed friend and co-author of lies (writing partner).Mz. Opera, Mz. Blue Eyes, and Mr. Prodigy: Mz. Jackson's younger siblings, who have enough dirt on Mz. Jackson to bury her three times over...
About my home
I live in the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma and the Cherokee (Tsa-la-gi) branch of my family traces its Oklahoma roots back to the Trail of Tears.
Oklahoma is a Choctaw word which means "Red Man," literally translated Okla (Man) Homa (Red).
The name of my "town," Nuda, means "Crazy" in Cherokee.

May blessings be upon you going in and coming out.
May you find opportunities you didn't even know existed.
May your family and children be blessed.
Amen
