I’ve been writing and painting a lot lately – burning the midnight oil so to speak. You want a challenge – try wrangling watercolors to be what you want them to be – which is cooperative. I’ve said it before and … Continue reading
I am super excited to announce I am going self hosted! caseyvoight.wordpress.com is now caseyvoight.com. My old site and old blog will be going offline, that is because I have a new one that combines everything into one. With all … Continue reading
No one wants to hear that life is falling apart. Problems are too real. Which is why we live avoiding them. Happiness is real too, but we spend a lot of time holding on by seeking faux happiness in order to … Continue reading

Does your family have traditions? Mine does. We are Missouri State Fair regulars. It’s been a personal tradition of mine since this day in 1983. I have been going every year since. We would always start the day fresh. Dad … Continue reading
I’m sharing this because I Love Bob Ross. I think he is alluring, not in a physical attraction sort of way but in a soul-inspiring sort of way. This video is right up there with my all-time favorites. Strong words … Continue reading
26 – The number is quite unthreatening looking, isn’t it? This is the number to a code of symbols that make up the English alphabet. I’m a writer and I try to relate things back to writing when I can, … Continue reading
Sometimes the most innocent things scare us. No matter what people tell us, we have it in our heads to be terrified. Only after we face that fear do we realize it’s all in our heads. “The thing you fear … Continue reading
There is a feeling that many of us have in the pit of our stomaches. One we don’t openly share, but veil away like an embarrassing secret. You know which one I’m talking about… it’s doubt. Doubt can hurt, it … Continue reading
My post today is a simple reminder. Life sends you hints, don’t miss them. This picture is not altered:) I was shopping with my sister and found this (right after a rather disappointing day.) Do you see signs? Look and … Continue reading
Children and art, what could be a better combo? I have had the wonderful opportunity to be connected to an amazing organization for four years now called HALO (Helping Art Liberate Orphans). My dear sister-in-law, Lacy Voight, is the Program … Continue reading
What I have learned about Life through Paint I recently had a LOVELY day of painting, sipping coffee, listening to great music and enjoying the time of reflection and creation. I couldn’t ask for a more perfect day. It got … Continue reading
What controls our actions? Emotions do. Emotions break people apart and keep them connected. So how do you describe emotions? They are tricky little dudes. You can’t see them. Sure, you can see someone smile but that is a physical response … Continue reading
People of creativity need a place to create. Until recently I didn’t have a desk or space to write. In fact, as an artist and writer I didn’t have the necessary space to do either. My “office” was a play room … Continue reading
I’m trying not to sound like a broken record lately, but the concept of really living is one I have been holding onto like a life-preserver. Sometimes you can just about trick yourself out of the effects of negative moment(s) … Continue reading
I figured out how to get my paperbacks to join my ebooks on Amazon, (together at last). While doing that, I discovered I have an author page where I discovered my ranking. That’s right I’m ranked. Ready for this? Wait for … Continue reading
Peace Out 2012. I’ve been putting off examining this past year. The thought of revisiting it seemed horribly exhausting and didn’t appeal to me. Don’t get me wrong there were a lot of major ups in 2012 of which I … Continue reading
I am very much an old-fashioned girl at heart. I’ve never been up on technology unless I had to be for my job. I was the last person I know to have a smart phone and I don’t really even … Continue reading
I walked into my co-worker, Larissa’s, office and there outside the window, perfectly framed within the panes of glass, was the image of R&L Carrier – the shipping company that was bringing my paperbacks today! We immediately sprinted through the … Continue reading
My son Will asked me this morning – “Where’s the hole in your head where your superpowers come out of?” At first this overwhelming warmth came over me, the innocence of a child is so amazingly beautiful. I was totally … Continue reading
My first book signing was an epic event. I stood in line longer than I’ve stood in line for anything my entire life. It got me thinking that if I ever have a book signing and am lucky enough to … Continue reading
Official Launch of Megaphone Society is today. Join Us! THE STORY OF THE MEGAPHONE SOCIETY It began a cold fall night. I had made a contact and scheduled a call to a well-known author seeking advice and guidance on self-publishing … Continue reading
In my research I’ve learned that if you talk about one topic too much you will bore people. As a lover of the unique, I can’t stand boring. All of this has made me rethink the content I am sharing. … Continue reading
Sometimes you just have to do a little bit MORE than verbally thank those that offer their hand in support. I had no idea until recently how nice it is to be really supported by people, (and how hard it … Continue reading
How do we become more than a little voice shouting out ‘hey notice me!’ I read blog after blog, and article after article. I follow well-known authors in hopes I may learn some sort of strategy, but what I have found are … Continue reading
