Don't you just love it when you stumble across a new author who changes your world? An author whose stories are so poignant and real and beautiful that you want to live there forever.

What Kind of Writer Are You? Other than a Good One!
Are you wondering what a discovery writer is? I once heard Joanna Penn admit that in the UK, they call underwear pants, so what we call a "panster" in the US, she calls a "discovery writer."

I coveted that… Continue reading Honor What’s Most Important to You

It was an amazing, warm, sunny day, and the song Living Hope by Phil Wickham came on at the same time I saw a man with 5 little girls dressed in bright colors, all twirling around and laughing (the girls,… Continue reading A Very Loud Silent Message
