Even though it's not Wednesday, I had to sneak in an extra post. This morning as I was running around Lake Estes in beautiful Estes Park, Colorado, my thoughts circled around who I am today, who I was, and who I want to be. Thank God--literally--that I'm not who I was, that I'm finally comfortable… Continue reading The Company We Keep

The Season for Gratitude
During this holiday season, cultivating an attitude of gratitude is at the top of my to-do list. Family is top of the top, hands down. After family, my top 10 for 2016 is: 10.) Election season being over! Nationally as well as locally. My day job is in a political office, which makes election season ultra stressful.… Continue reading The Season for Gratitude

Women’s History Month Spotlight – Ruth Bell Graham
As far back as I can remember I've admired Ruth Bell Graham's devotion to her husband and family. She's always reminded me of the woman in Proverbs 31 - the woman I've always hoped to be. Since I've gone through a divorce, I appreciate her strength and stamina even more. (This isn't one of those "it… Continue reading Women’s History Month Spotlight – Ruth Bell Graham
Women’s History Month Spotlight – Mary, Mother of Jesus
As far back as I can remember, I wanted to be a mother. Little did I know back then, that role would far surpass any joy I've ever experienced. And that it would rocket my capacity to worry past the moon. I'm pretty sure I can count on one hand the number of nights of uninterrupted sleep I've… Continue reading Women’s History Month Spotlight – Mary, Mother of Jesus
Women’s History Month
There are countless people who deserve recognition, but since March is women's history month in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia, I've decided to spotlight one historical woman each week that has made a difference in my life in one way or another. Until I mention the first of four next week, following is a list… Continue reading Women’s History Month
NaNoWriMo 2015
I've participated in, and loved, NaNoWriMo for the past three years. This year, however, I decided not to because I have two WIP's I really want to focus on editing. The problem? I'm not getting it done. I had a writing schedule that I followed faithfully for a while, but that "while" didn't last very… Continue reading NaNoWriMo 2015
Birthday Blessings
I've heard people talk about 50 as being "over the hill," "half of a century old," "on the downward slide," etc. When I woke up this morning, having turned 50 myself, the first thing that came to mind was: I AM SO BLESSED! I got out of bed, got dressed and headed out the door for an… Continue reading Birthday Blessings
Remembering Our Heros
Remembering always, but especially today, our heroes who have fought for our freedom, for all the privileges we have because of them, many literally giving all they have to be sure we have a safe place to raise our children. May we honor those who have sacrificed all and gave their lives that we may… Continue reading Remembering Our Heros
Happy Mother’s Day
There won't be any biking today as I traditionally do on Mother's Day, as the ground is coated with about 5" of white fluff and the trees are several feet shorter under the weight of the snow. It looks like we went from spring back to winter here in Colorado. But it's beautiful, I'll give… Continue reading Happy Mother’s Day
