I've been waiting for this weekend since about this same time one year ago. Why, you ask? If you didn't, I'll tell you anyway. 🙂 It's my second NCW writer's conference, and it's less than three days away. The first one gave me so much - ideas, motivation, inspiration, new writing friends, and time to re-evaluate the… Continue reading A Writer’s Heaven

TGIF – Gratitude Friday
Top three things I’m especially grateful for this week: 1.) A good report from the Hematologist after more than a week of needless worry. Amen! 2.) Taking a nature walk after said news, my heart filled with renewed appreciation for my health, and noticing the little things that bring me joy, like two prairie dogs (yes, I know they're rodents,… Continue reading TGIF – Gratitude Friday
Who’s Up For a Challenge?
The Blogging From A to Z Challenge, that is. Arlee Bird began this challenge, which entails participants to post something on his/her blog every day in April except Sundays. The fun gets even better - the topic for each day's post follows the letters of the alphabet, meaning there are 26 letters in the alphabet… Continue reading Who’s Up For a Challenge?
TGIF – Gratitude Friday
Top three things I’m especially grateful for this week: 1.) The act of service I've chosen to do for the Lenten season that enhances my prayer life and closeness to God. 2.) The unexpected text message from my married son filling me in on my granddaughter and letting me know I was in his thoughts. What a… Continue reading TGIF – Gratitude Friday
Women’s History Month

But then in the back of my mind, I thought since March is Women's History Month, why not pay tribute to… Continue reading Women’s History Month

My duties were to show up an hour early to set up the display and hand out information cards to all movie goers as they entered the theater and then display child sponsorship cards as they… Continue reading An Opportunity to Pray

You will, indeed! (98 and ¾ percent guaranteed.)” “Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is… Continue reading Weekend Quote
Bucket List
It's never too late to start. Anything. And everything. Start to achieve dreams. Start to really live. Start to love more. Start to let go and forgive. And to start that bucket list that has up until now only been a passing thought. Maybe passing through a few times. I've thought about what my bucket… Continue reading Bucket List
Electronic Disconnection
I've blogged about this exact thing once before, and as much peace as it brings when I do it, I still don't seem to practice it nearly enough. Electronics can pull more energy from relationships than they add. It makes me sad when I see a young child talking to mom or dad who is more connected with… Continue reading Electronic Disconnection
Books, Books, and More Books
Today I got to thinking about how far back my love of reading and books really goes, and discovered it goes back to when I was about five years old and my mom used to read stories out of the Children's Highlights Magazine to my sisters and me every night before bed. The stories and… Continue reading Books, Books, and More Books
