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

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
Hodge Podge and Update
I've been a bit of a slacker lately. Although, I guess slacker isn't an accurate term. Life has been exceptionally busy, but I'm so grateful that I've got a good life to live. My son was the passenger in a car that was totaled in an accident two days ago and he came out of it with… Continue reading Hodge Podge and Update
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
Happy Easter!
Happy Easter to all! I hope everyone has a most blessed day! I sat on my deck for most of yesterday afternoon finishing the book Twenty Eight and a Half Wishes (which I would highly recommend as it's a most entertaining read), but, therefore, got behind on my Camp NaNo word count. So after a prayer… Continue reading Happy Easter!
Living With Compassion
If there's one thing that can turn a bad day into a good one every single time it's connecting with my Compassion kiddos. I can be having a terrible day at work, but if at the end of that day I come home to find a letter from one of my three kids in… Continue reading Living With Compassion

The Week's Top Three: 3.) A brilliant pink cloud hanging in the evening sky. God's hand print. 2.) Learning limits on what I can take on and how to say "no" so as not to take away from my family, writing time, or recovery maintenance. 1.)

T.G.I.F. – Gratitude Friday
The Week's Top Three: 3.) Completing the first draft of my book Shear Madness, which I began in Camp Nano this past July, and beginning to loosely plan the second in the series, Brush with Death, for NaNoWriMo next month. 2.) That first sweet, juicy, crunchy bite of a Honeycrisp apple on a fall day. Mmmmmm...they are the best!… Continue reading T.G.I.F. – Gratitude Friday
T.G.I.F. – Gratitude Friday
Top of My List for the Week: 3.) Getting a letter in the mail from Mamounata, one of my sponsor children from Burkina Faso. She has such a passion for learning, for Jesus, and is so filled with gratitude. She inspires me. 2.) Seeing my son and granddaughter come through the front door, he with that… Continue reading T.G.I.F. – Gratitude Friday
