Heading North (ugh) + A New Author Interview You’ll Love 🎄📚


Hey Reader,

Well, the road trip fun had to end sometime... we’re officially heading back north — straight into the snow and cold. Yuck! ❄️☹️ That whole job thing is calling, and I guess I have to answer. But don’t worry — I’ll be back down south in just a few weeks. You know I can't stay away for long. 😉

While we were in Orlando, we soaked up all the holiday cheer. Palm trees wrapped in Christmas lights? Yes, please! 🎄🌴 And between exploring all the fun things to do and spending time with the youngest (tree is up, so the holidays are officially on!), I got a little behind on Lives. BUT… next week I’m back in the office and fully back at it.

🎙️Podcast Update!
I’ve got multiple episodes to upload (woohoo!), but this week I squeezed in one I really want you to hear. I had a great convo with Donzel Leggett, a multi-generation Conch and author of Make Your Destiny Happen. He just did a signing at Books & Books, and honestly, this book is the kind of motivation we all need as we wrap up 2025 and start thinking about goals for 2026. You can check out the video here:

And here’s the Amazon link to the book if you want to grab a copy.

🎄Life Lately
The youngest kiddo — you might remember — blew out his knee back in May. Still on crutches, and now it looks like surgery is coming. Soooo… stay tuned because I might be asking for good show recommendations to binge while playing nurse. 😂


🎉 Trivia Time!
Last week’s trivia question:
What’s the coldest recorded temperature in Key West?
Answer: 41°F — waaaay back on January 12, 1886. I know… the roosters probably needed tiny winter jackets. 😂

And now that I’m heading back into the frozen tundra, let’s daydream about heat...

🔥This Week’s Trivia Question:
What’s the hottest recorded temperature in Key West?
(Hint: it’s a number that’ll make your sandals melt.)
Send in your guess and you’ll be entered into the December drawing for the Key West Fun Box!


Thanks for always being part of the fun — your replies seriously make my day. Let me know your trivia answer, your favorite holiday tradition, or the shows I must watch during knee surgery recovery duty.

Sending sunshine, even if I’m shivering right now!
