Welcome, folks! Thank you for stopping by my website, FrancescaME.
Here you’ll find:
~~~~~~~ The Enough Blog ~~~~~~~
I write the Enough Blog with tips for a happier, more peaceful life. These short reads offer insights into living our best lives and provide practical strategies to transform us for the better.
~~~~~~~ A Funny Life Podcast (Episodes 1-50) ~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~ A Funny Life Podcast (Episodes 51-100 ) ~~~~~~~
If you want a chuckle, check out the A Funny Life Podcast, where Dottie and Larry St. James share their exciting and funny lives in short, three- to five-minute 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 often has 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 serious, he still 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 becoming the best version of myself, and I want to share what I’ve learned.
Music has always been part of who I am, and I’ve been singing for as long as I can remember. 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 who followed me like a dog), into the woods with a paper and pen or a tape recorder, and I’d compose songs that reflected my life. It felt like magic when the words and melodies came easily. Here are some songs I wrote later on in life.
When I was eight years old, I created a children’s story titled 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.
I’ve completed two novels, working on number three (unpublished right now – working on changing that 🙂 )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 change my mindset and develop confidence and belief in myself, 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 knowledge, support, and love can cure or fix anything.
So, thank you for stopping here. I appreciate you reading my blog or listening to our podcast and music!
Peace and love,
Francesca
