I’ve never felt both my feet were firmly planted and grounded within the world around me. Not entirely. Instead, I’ve felt torn between this world and another that’s trying to get my attention. Because of that, I began writing.
The Insanity blog is my way of releasing errant thoughts, running the gamut from comical to serious – and all points in between.
I’m enormously appreciative of this life of mine, as topsy-turvy as it has been. I’m here, for one, and I almost wasn’t. My son is here, and he almost wasn’t. Those two things alone remind me that Fate isn’t always cruel. I believe in miracles, and the sudden wonderful shift for the better life can take. Thank you – each of you – for joining me on this ride. Life is a bit better, when shared. And I’m pleased to be sharing it with you.

Thank you so very much! How wonderful of you – S.
Hey Samantha – I am really, really enjoying your book so far. Quirky, musical, and a bit sexual. Really – all the best things in life. Well done!
I may just put your review of my book on my website, as I enjoyed it so much! I agree – really – aren’t those the best things in life! Thank you Jason (ps, please spread the word on my book. Its rather the underdog as far as books go!)
I will absolutely spread the word about your book and I am looking forward to reading more from you!
Wonderful! Maybe I’ll let you have a look-see at the sequel. Thank you 🙂

What a wonderful blog. I have just subscribed. I cannot find time to read all your posts today, but will return later to carry on. What a pleasure

Thanks for being here, I am looking for that shift after going for broke and leaving a very successful career of 16 years to find myself.
It seems I missed two very kind comments. Please accept my apologies. One should never regret having reached out and pursued their dreams, most of all when that dream is to find themselves. You are brave. We both are. Much love ~ S.
Ms Hoffman, I really appreciate the way you describe how you started writing, being torn between two worlds. I can remember saying something similar when I was a child, about “walking the line between reality and fantasy” – but no one understood me. I still feel that way and it is one of the main reasons while I also write. It is quite lovely to know I am not the only one.
Some readers question why it is I write with the transparency and truth that I do. Much of the reason is so that those like me, feel less alone. I am so pleased that my writing resonated with you. Thank you for sharing your kind words with me. Much love ~ S.
I’ve nominated you for the Very Inspiring Blogger award. Congrats from me 🙂
How wonderful and thoughtful of you! I’m touched; truly. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Much love ~ S
Samantha, I am getting into blogging for very similar reasons and am really starting to focus on my writing. Your blog has been an inspiration, a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day. I cant wait to read your book. Any tips or advice?
Yes, I do. Never change or forfeit your voice. Never give up. Thank you for the kind words. They are always of great help to me. Love to you – S.
Thank you for the encouraging words!
You’re welcome.
You’re earthy. You’re sexy. You’re sensual. You’re spiritual. You’re hot potato chowder on a cold winter day in the upper Midwest. You’re wise and experienced. I am a novice blogger. We are both sharing the same path on our own trek. I’m glad to have found you.
(blushing) Thank you ~ S.
Your blog is gorgeous. Your writing is beautiful. ❤
Samantha, your a fascinating women with incredible writing skills. Peace.
Rob
How kind of you to say. Thank you. Best to you ~ S
