I've been a lazy blogger the past week. That being said, I've been breathing new life into revising my novel, The Inheritance, and I'm seeing the final touches being completed in the very near future. Near, as in by mid-June. 🙂 My husband and I are taking a much needed vacation this next week--leaving in the morning--so… Continue reading A Mother’s Day Thanksgiving

“Y”is for…
Practicing yoga has woven its way through various aspects of this life I live. The parallels are multiple in number, and I believe it’s more than mere coincidence that it’s called “practicing” yoga. It’s a discipline that allows an opportunity to practice becoming better–at yoga and at living life. Each stretch and pose, as uncomfortable and awkward… Continue reading “Y”is for…
“K” is for…
I read a post yesterday on a blog I follow, In Her Words Avenue, and it reminded me of an incident that happened several years ago that, each time I think of it, reminds me never to underestimate the power of kindness. Its ripple effect travels endlessly. When my grandfather was lying in a hospital bed, the angel… Continue reading “K” is for…
TGIF – Gratitude Friday
Top three things I'm especially grateful for this week: 1.) The warm glow of lamplight and the soft flicker of candlelight on a cold evening. 2.) The soothing absence of sound and bright light after a period of sensory overload. 3.) My two grown sons on a trip together in Las Vegas, spending good quality… Continue reading TGIF – Gratitude Friday

There are so many things to be grateful for, but the top three are what I plan to mention. I would love for anyone who reads this to add your top three… Continue reading TGIF – Gratitude Friday
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
Serenity Through Acceptance
It never ceases to amaze me what circumstances God can--and does--use to speak to His children. For instance, He spoke to me the other morning through my impatience with another's lack of willingness to try to understand and accept yet another. Confused? Allow me to explain... A dear friend has an ongoing internal struggle with what he… Continue reading Serenity Through Acceptance
Happy Thanksgiving
When I was growing up, Thanksgiving was my very favorite holiday. That's an odd holiday for a child to have as a favorite, but my mom always made it so special, and it began weeks before Thanksgiving Day. She hung a picture of a cornucopia on the refrigerator door and every day we got to… Continue reading Happy Thanksgiving
Book Synopsis
Since NaNaWriMo is just around the corner, which means the rough draft of another novel, God willing, I decided to post the synopsis to the book I'm finally finishing up. All comments are welcome. 🙂 The Inheritance When Victor and Vivian Forrester meet their unexpected fate on their way home from hosting a charity… Continue reading Book Synopsis
Celebrate Life
For too many years I've stepped into the month of July somewhat reluctantly, and raced to the finish line when it came close to being over, eagerly welcoming August, holding my breath, hoping an unwanted phone call wouldn't slide in at 11:59 p.m. on July 31st. July 3rd marked an anniversary of being a victim… Continue reading Celebrate Life
