The next day, Annie Anthias invited Chloe over to hang out. They exchanged seaweed soup recipes and baked shrimp cakes. Annie wanted to go on the Keto diet together. She had gained some weight TV binging and hadn’t been to the gym in months.
“We can’t go on that diet! Where in the coral reef would we find cauliflower and cheese?” asked Chloe.
Chloe did not think so: work, dating, money…it was all too much. She clicked the “add to cart” button but decided to hold off on purchasing the purse. She had 8 other items in the cart and made a mental note to revisit the website at home that night. She felt very excited and powerful which was a lot better than feeling anxious.

I’m working on the illustrations for my third book…what a fun process!
I’ve chosen the font and set the text for my third book. It just needs some tweaking here and there, but I’m almost ready to do the illustrations! The goal with this one is experimental: write about “adult” issues in a children’s book style.
I just purchased this beautiful Japanese watercolor set. I’m going to start painting the pictures for “When Chloe Clingfish Collected Clutter.” Originally, I was sure I would use iridescent ink. But now, I’m not so certain. What a wonderful dilemma!
Stay safe everyone. Be kind to each other.
When Bruce the Boxfish had a big medical scare, Chloe held his fin for hours and assured him everything would be fine.
She took time off from work and went to the other side of the reef when Liz the Leafy Seadragon needed help moving her mother’s things.
But Chloe’s friends knew she possessed a very good heart. She really loved her friends very much. If they needed anything – anything – she was there.
She brought spicy seaweed soup to Annie Anthias when Annie had the flu.
