This post was brought to my attention by the author (and one of my cabin mates for Camp NaNo.) as I shared my struggle to turn off my inner editor. The message is so profound I wanted to share it with you. (Second day of Camp NaNo and I'm already ahead in knowledge! Thanks Shawn!… Continue reading engineering artistry

A Glorious Sunday Drive
 On my bike. As strange as this may sound, there's nothing more relaxing to me than a long bike ride on a beautiful Sunday morning. Of course by the time the 30-mile ride is done, there's nothing more relaxing than being back home, showered, with a bowl of popcorn and an A&W 10. 🙂 The… Continue reading A Glorious Sunday Drive
T.G.I.F. – Gratitude Friday
My top three for the week: 3.) My faith giving me confidence that my dear friend Guy is home with Jesus after a long, brutal struggle with liver cancer. He's home and free. 2.) Amazing friends who make the journey of life so much sweeter. 1.) Unhurried time and conversation with each of my boys individually,… Continue reading T.G.I.F. – Gratitude Friday
Prioritizing Priorities
I've come to realize--again--that I'm not super-human and have conceded to the fact that I need to prioritize my life a bit. I'm confidant I'm not alone in that I tend to keep taking on more and more, often without realizing it, until life becomes a little bit of everything done somewhat well and nothing done well. There's… Continue reading Prioritizing Priorities
Who’s up for Going to Camp?
Where? At Camp NaNo. 🙂 November is National Novel Writing Month but the NaNo team also holds camps in April and July. Though Camp NaNo is somewhat smaller than November's hoopla, from what I see in numbers, it has grown considerably since its inception. The difference between the one held in November and April and July's Camp is… Continue reading Who’s up for Going to Camp?
T.G.I.F. – Gratitude Friday
My top three for the week: 3.) An out-of-the-blue phone call from a childhood friend who now lives in Montana. What fun to catch up! 2.) My shipment of books arriving yesterday! Oh for the excitement! 🙂 1.) My son and his wife asking me to be a witness to their marriage. What an honor!… Continue reading T.G.I.F. – Gratitude Friday
Why Do You Write?
Sandi Ault, author of the bestselling, award-winning WILD Mystery Series, was one of the presenters at the Northern Colorado Writer's Conference I attended this past March, and one of her sessions was called Writing for Love, Prestige, or Profit. To say the class was filled beyond capacity is an understatement. We were very cozy with those sitting around us!… Continue reading Why Do You Write?
The Power of Words
This has been an interesting week for sure. Amidst all the excitement I was feeling about my book being published, I hadn't even thought of the possibility that others wouldn't share that joy. While I don't believe, for the most part, that people intend to be hurtful, that doesn't change the fact that words can sting the heck… Continue reading The Power of Words
Happy Father’s Day
Wishing all the men a Happy Father's Day and a giant Thank You for the difference you make to children. God Bless You! "Being a father has been, without a doubt, my greatest source of achievement, pride and inspiration. Fatherhood has taught me about unconditional love, reinforced the importance of giving back and taught me… Continue reading Happy Father’s Day
