Wow...has this been a year or what! Like everyone else, I have had my ups and downs, highs and lows, but thankfully made it this far! In celebration for that, I thought I'd end the year on a cheery note by sharing a hidden jewel I found over the holidays.
I love it when I get to share my thoughts and feelings on other outlets! Anyway, here is my latest interview published in Books & Benches Magazine. Check it out! https://www.booksandbenches.com/post/chasing-hope-dana-wayne-interview

I love to cook. So much so, I published my first cookbook earlier this year of some of my favorite recipes. During these days of quarantine, I find myself cooking more. Back in the day, I made homemade bread often, but, over the years, got out of the habit.
I have worked from home since I retired in 2013 so basically I am home every day all day long. Hubby and I have established a routine for our together time and then we venture off to our own tasks. That schedule worked great until I HAD to stay home. Now, all of sudden, all I can think about is "I need to go somewhere".
