I almost missed the inch-and-a-half baby dragonfly in the newly planted sod. I was walking our cockapoo, Miss Mattie, near the lagoon when a small flutter caught my attention. It was so delicate that it blended in with the blades of newly planted sod. When I blinked, I had to refocus to find it…
It happened again! This time it was during a physical therapy session. I am always amazed when and where people show up to share signs about Angel Bumps, their signs from Heaven. My Physical Therapist, Lydia, was applying patches to my knees when she asked what I did for a living. I told…

For the past few nights, I’ve been making various veggie woks for dinner. It makes me feel healthy and I can take out all my frustrations chopping asparagus, green beans, carrots, onions, red peppers, broccoli and cauliflower. All those passwords I forgot…CHOP! Those thirty pounds I didn’t lose…CHOP! That budget I never kept…CHOP CHOP…
Enjoy the first story in Heartstrings from Heaven by Ronna Martino When my dad passed away, I was heartbroken. A day didn’t go by that we didn’t speak on the phone. I just wanted to call and tell him so many things after he passed. I cried the entire day of his first anniversary….
Exciting news! Heartstrings From Heaven, Book 2 in the Angel Bumps Series is here! I’m dancing as I write this. Publishing is much like having a baby. For months you edit, rearrange stories and make adjustments. Then one day, the publisher sends you a final copy of the manuscript and it’s time to push that…
I recently saw a sign that read, BE THE CHANGE. I contemplated this for a few days. What kind of change could I make? Spanx have already been invented. Teeth whitening gels are readily available. Wrinkle creams are on every store shelf. Then a voice asked, “How superficial are you today, Anne?” I…
