Everyday Heroes
I've had the good fortune this week of crossing paths with several every day heroes, or angels, if you will. Average, run-of-the-mill people who are motivated by the desire to make a difference in the lives of others. And at a time when we celebrate commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July… Continue reading Everyday Heroes
Prayer in Numbers
It started, as my ideas usually do, on a morning run. Typically I like to listen to music or audio books when I'm running, but there are times I enjoy simply basking in the sounds of nature or beautiful silence. And there are times I go on a prayer run. This was one of those mornings.… Continue reading Prayer in Numbers

I would like to pass on that blessing to the kids of St. Jude children's Research Hospital, to give them the gift of hope to live the life I've been, and… Continue reading The Gift of Hope

Pearls of Wisdom
This weekend I was fortunate enough to attend Genre Fest 2015, an event organized by the Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers, Rocky Mountain Chapter of Mystery Writers of America, and The Colorado Authors' League. The speaker for the morning was David Morrell, creator of Rambo --as well as numerous novels (both fiction and nonfiction) and short fiction--and to say I was impressed is a… Continue reading Pearls of Wisdom
April (Word) Showers
I've temporarily changed the old saying, April Showers bring May flowers, to April Showers Bring Lots of Writing Hours. Last April I participated in the A to Z Blogging Challenge, and this year I've decided to head to Camp for the month of April. Camp NaNoWriMo. I will still be reading the blog posts of those participating in the challenge,… Continue reading April (Word) Showers
Hodgepodge
There's a lot that's swirling around in my head these days, the top of that list being sheer gratitude for life in general. There's something about starting and ending the day with a simple "Thank You" that makes all the rest in between all the sweeter. It's hard to believe it was a few short… Continue reading Hodgepodge
