Welcome, folks! Thank you for stopping by my website, FrancescaME.

Here you’ll find:

~~~~~~~  The Enough Blog ~~~~~~~

I write the Enough Blog: tips for a happier and more peaceful life. These brief blog posts offer valuable insights into living our best lives, providing practical strategies to transform us for the better.

~~~~~~~  Funny Lady Life Podcast (Episodes 1-50) ~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~ Funny Lady Life Podcast (Episodes 51-100 ) ~~~~~~~

If you want a chuckle, check out the Funny Lady Life Podcast, where Dottie and Larry St. James share their exciting and funny lives in short comedy podcast episodes. Dottie sold Avon for 27 years, before that, Tupperware. She wears wigs to complement her curated outfits and takes great pride in her appearance. Dottie finds herself having to rein in her husband’s fickle nature, as he often gets himself into sticky situations. Even though Larry teaches English at a community college and comes across as a serious person, he certainly gets into comical adventures. This middle-aged couple knows how to make the most of life!

~~~~~~~  Music  ~~~~~~~

You can also listen to music I wrote for Sugar Lime Twist, an original rock band featuring me on vocals and my talented husband on guitar and vocals.

~~~~~~~  A little About Me ~~~~~~~

I am a student of life, curious and thirsty for knowledge about how to become the best version of ourselves. After processing helpful information from therapists, books, and other valid sources, I want to share what I’ve learned.

Music has always been a part of who I am, and I’ve been singing since I can remember and I wrote my first song, “Somewhere In the World,” at age seven.

Growing up, I didn’t keep a diary or journal; I wrote songs and poems. I’d take the dog and my cat, Carlyle (who I found in the woods as a tiny kitten and followed me like a dog ), into the woods with a paper and pen or a tape recorder, and I’d compose songs. As a teenager, the woods near my house were my sanctuary. I’d sit on a rock, create songs reflecting my life at the time, and return home feeling better. It felt like magic happened to me because those words and melodies helped ease whatever was going on. Here are some songs I wrote later on in life.

When I was eight years old, I created a bedtime story, Eight Bunnies and Three Beagles. Many years later, I told my daughter that same bedtime story and created many more for her, some turned into books.

I composed my first novel  The Necklace while at college.  Putting pen to paper helped me express myself. That’s when my pseudonym, Jussme, was born. I wanted to be free to be me—just me—Jussme.

I’ve completed two novels, working on number three (unpublished right now – working on changing that 🙂 )

Magic in the Snow:  a YA suspense novel set in Cape May, NJ. Here is a sample.

At What Price: a suspense novel set in Pittston, PA. Here is a sample.

I’ve also written several children’s books, short stories, a screenplay, a television sitcom, a television drama, and a book for grieving a loss.

I created the Enough blog to share what has helped me create a happy life and show that we are enough. If I could turn my life around, anyone can, but we have to put in the time and effort. We are all worthy of an incredible, happy life and deserve respect, kindness, and love.

I believe anything can be cured or fixed with knowledge, support, and love.

So, thank you for stopping here. I appreciate the read or listen!

Peace and love,

Francesca
