We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year's Day. -Edith Lovejoy Pierce We spend January 1st walking through our lives, room by room, drawing up a list of work to be… Continue reading Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas
Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas! Cherish your time spent with family and friends! The spirit of Christmas is the spirit of love and of generosity and of goodness. It illuminates the picture window of the soul, and we look out upon the world's busy life and become more interested in people than in things. -Thomas… Continue reading Merry Christmas
Week 3 of NaNoWriMo
We’re now well into the third week of NaNoWriMo and I’m still hanging on by a thread. Life took some twists and turns the past week and I was barely squeaking in my word count. But what’s most important is I am hanging in there. I’m nothing if not stubborn and determined. Haha! I even… Continue reading Week 3 of NaNoWriMo
Honoring All Who Served
Thank you to those who have given some and to those who have given all. To those who have served and to those who are. And to the families behind those who serve. Because of you, we have our freedom and blessings far beyond anything we'd have without you. Thank you from the bottom of… Continue reading Honoring All Who Served
Merry Christmas!

Despite my hands shaking from the cold, here are some of the highlights: The color guard starting off the parade. North Elementary School, one of the category winners. Of course,… Continue reading Holiday Parade

The craft fair signals the start of the holiday season with lights, music, and community. My favorite parts of the holidays. Each year I… Continue reading Holiday Spirit
Writer’s Joy
November is shaping up to be a busy month in my writing life. And I couldn't be more thrilled. There's something about fall (and November is still fall, although late stages) and the holidays that follow, that brings renewed energy and enthusiasm. And when anything having to do with writing gets thrown in the mix...well,… Continue reading Writer’s Joy
Happy Thanksgiving
I participated in a craft and vendor show this past weekend at Harvest Fellowship Church, manning a table with my books. A writer friend of mine was there as well, her table next to mine. I'd been waiting a long time for this event, as it always promises to be a wonderful time and sets… Continue reading Happy Thanksgiving
Two for the Price of One
Two quotes struck me as so profound today that I couldn't choose between them...therefore, both follow: "How many observe Christ's birthday! How few, His precepts!” ― Benjamin Franklin “Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before! What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. What if Christmas...perhaps...means a little bit more!”… Continue reading Two for the Price of One
