    Jessie’s Girl: 40 Years Later and Still Going Strong

    ByMichele L. Mathews August 2, 2021January 11, 2026

    40 years. That’s a long time. Or at least to me, it is. Yesterday, 40 years ago, “Jessie’s Girl,” the song I’ve heard the most in my life, or I’m pretty sure I have, hit number one. This is the song that helped me that summer way back in 1981. The summer of 1981 Right…

    October: 4 Ways I was the Most Productive This Month

    ByMichele L. Mathews October 26, 2020January 11, 2026

    October is coming to a close this week. That means we’re that much closer to my least favorite season. Yes, I’m not a fan of winter. The older I get, the less I like it. Of course, that means I stay inside, and I get more writing done. But it could also mean I don’t…

    ByMichele L. Mathews September 28, 2020January 11, 2026

    September is almost over. And I’m sad. I’m not ready for fall. I feel like we barely had summer. I spent a big part of the afternoon outside yesterday. Before the cool temperatures of the last days of September set in this week, I wanted to enjoy what I could of the last warmer day….

    Why Do I Feel So Worthless?

    ByMichele L. Mathews August 17, 2020January 11, 2026

    I feel worthless. I feel especially worthless when it comes to my writing the past few months. I’ve been home since mid-March because of this pandemic. As you may know, I work in the library at a school, so we closed and never re-opened. Last Monday, I started back to the day job, and what…

    How This Horrible Pandemic Slowed Me Down

    ByMichele L. Mathews June 29, 2020January 11, 2026

    This pandemic has slowed me down in more ways than one. My writing has almost come to a complete halt. And I had hoped it wouldn’t. I mean, I’ve had all this time at home so you would think I would have written many words—possibly even a book by now. Nope. Nada. Not one word…
