When I was on my morning run today, it occurred to me how much of life is spent waiting for something to get here. Whether that something is: Vacation. A loved one coming for a visit. Payday. A movie you've been waiting to come out on the big screen. The good part of a book you're reading. Summer… Continue reading Seize the Day

Heaven Gets Yet Another
I'm not much of a Facebook person, I must admit. I also admit I'm a bit of a skeptic of what many people post. And, yes, the shock factor some set out to achieve does, indeed, shock me into another state of mind at times. And the amount of information many share, information that the… Continue reading Heaven Gets Yet Another
The Late, GREAT Robin Williams
My heart is absolutely shattered at the loss of this talented man. In fact, when I heard the news my breath caught and my heart stopped for just a moment. Today I'd like to honor him by sharing some powerful words he shared with us. "No matter what people tell you, words and ideas can change… Continue reading The Late, GREAT Robin Williams
Through Eyes of Surrender
I frequently pray that God use me as a vessel to draw others to Him, that He fill me with the fruits of His Spirit, that others may be drawn to Him through His light within me. While running one morning this past week, counting my blessings and adoring the breathtaking pink and white clouds as the sun… Continue reading Through Eyes of Surrender

A couple who had been married for twenty years had words of advice that not only applies for marriage, but for all relationships, and I thought it so profound that I wanted to mention it here.… Continue reading Powerful Words
Back to the Basics
I've decided to take a week-long "partial" leave of absence from electronics. I received an email the other day that contained a series of pictures, each with a brief caption beneath it, that had a profound effect on me. Let me share some of them with you here: A day at the beach Out on… Continue reading Back to the Basics

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
