My Favorite Winter Blahs Binge-Watches
I am a TV watcher from way back. I am unapologetically thrilled when a new show catches my fancy or an old show I loved gets renewed for another season. I have old completed series that I will watch and rewatch, and sometimes I will watch a show simply for inspiration. What I watch depends on my mood and whether I want to keep it or change it. Here are my favorite binges based on the mood. Need a laugh? Comedy Faves. Current: Past: Need a Pick Me Up? Heartfelt Faves. Current: Past: Need a Murder to Solve? Mystery Faves. …
Getting Stoned – My Love Affair With Rocks and Crystals
Crystals and pretty rocks have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Whether it was finding a smooth a pretty one on a creek shore or buying a bag of them at a tourist shop outside a cave, I’ve always been drawn to them. Their energy, their texture, and their glimmering beauty have always drawn me in, even before I understood the meanings behind them. Over time, they’ve become much more than decorative treasures. They have become staples in my journey of mindfulness, creativity, and self-care. One of my most beloved writing tools is …
Ahhh yes, even witches have to endure maladies that the mere mortals have to deal with. LOL
When one gets mature (old), one occasionally gets back bloodwork tests with high (super duper high) sugars. Not quite over the limit, but seriously close. So when that mature (old) person needs to take a hard (and sadly realistic) look at her habits, it can be alarming—8 full-sugared cokes a day alarming…along with a love of strawberry sweet tart ropes and other sugary treats. Alrighty then, DO NOT JUDGE ME. LOL Yes, I’m fully aware that I’m an idiot. HOWEVER, I found a diet soda that didn’t make me want to perform a baldness or nose wart spell on anyone …
Not Witching Around: Getting My Crap and My Carbs Under Control In 2025
The holidays can be a magical time filled with family, friends, and—let’s be honest—a whole lot of indulgence. If you’re like me, the past two months have been a whirlwind of desserts, starchy deliciousness of potatoes, fresh baked breads, and pastas. And I must confess to the occasional (okay, frequent) donut run. And while I don’t regret the memories made, my body is definitely feeling the aftereffects. Ten extra pounds, tighter jeans, and a general sluggishness have me saying, “Enough is enough!” I wish there was a witch spell or a magic bullet to make me like the things I …

My Favorite Friendsgiving Side Dish: Homemade Egg Noodles in Turkey Broth
Friendsgiving is huge at my house. It is always the Sunday before Thanksgiving, and I usually include my mother and other family members, along with many friends. Over the years it has grown to almost unmanageable proportions. LOL. This year I’ll be having twenty-three guests! I always do all the cooking because I enjoy cooking for a large crowd, and I want everything to go the way I want it to go. Is it a bit controlling? Maybe. Hah! But cooking for everyone, having them come and enjoy my food, and then going home happy with full bellies, well, that’s …
The magic and mayhem has arrived!
Hi Witches!!! Today my witches Sassy and Zelda are interviewing me. It’s a terrifying prospect. They live in my Magic and Mayhem World and are nuts. Don’t tell them I said that. Anyhoo, hold on to your pointy hats and let’s get this over with. LOL Zelda — Robyn. May I call you Robyn? Robyn— Umm… yes. What else would you call me? Zelda—Do you really want me to answer that? Robyn—No. Zelda—That’s what I thought. So what were you drinking when you made me save the day with a Troll named Fuc%ing Derrick? Robyn—Oh come on, Fuc%ing Derrick is …
Just Me and My Witches – Author/ Character Interviews with Iris Everlee, Marigold Everlee, and Hazel Kinsey.
Renee George: Welcome, Iris Everlee, her sister Marigold, and Hazel Kinsey! Three witches who are the heroines of three different series I write. While they all have a lot to say, it doesn’t always help with getting them to the end of their stories. Even so, they are a pleasure to write, and I’m excited to sit down with them today and talk to them about what makes them tick, what advice they have for other witches, and what advice they might give to an author who is thinking about writing their own unique witches. Now, on to the interview. …
