We spent some time at our place in Estes Park, Colorado this past weekend. In fact, we're actually there now as I write this post. Before me is the amazing mountainside on the other side of the river right outside my sliding glass door, a cup of coffee at my side, one of my fur… Continue reading Nature at its Finest

Beauty in Brokenness
I spent a lot of time in nature this past weekend and marveled, as usual, in all of its splendor. The perfect creations as well as the stunning beauty in the broken. And I started thinking...wouldn't it be wonderful if we appreciated people as we do nature, in all of their brokenness and all of… Continue reading Beauty in Brokenness
Summer’s Beauty
Each season has it's own magic, but there's something about the fullness of summer that captures the very essence of life's goodness and God's glorious gifts. How can one not be filled with gratitude when nature is displayed in all its splendor at the dawn of each new day? Rest is not idleness, and to… Continue reading Summer’s Beauty
Timeout Tuesday
It's been a while since I've done a Timeout Tuesday, and with the beautiful scenery from my trip to the mountains last weekend, I figured today's the day. So pour a cup of tea/coffee/drink of choice, and wander with mother nature. “I felt my lungs inflate with the onrush of scenery—air, mountains, trees, people. I thought,… Continue reading Timeout Tuesday
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

Have a cup of tea/coffee, put your feet up, and let yourself be mentally transported to the great outdoors, surrounded by peace, chirping birds, a gentle wind, and the fresh… Continue reading Natural Beauty
Morning Glory
This brilliant sunrise is what greeted me on my morning run. What a glorious way to start the day! And this mama bird protecting her babies, still unhatched, as I marveled at the maternal instinct of all God's creatures. Seize this day with gusto, my friends! Life is a gift. 🙂
Prayer in Numbers
It started, as my ideas usually do, on a morning run. Typically I like to listen to music or audio books when I'm running, but there are times I enjoy simply basking in the sounds of nature or beautiful silence. And there are times I go on a prayer run. This was one of those mornings.… Continue reading Prayer in Numbers
A Little of This, A Little of That

The planned release is in July. 🙂 The rest of this month I'm going to focus on the revision of Book Two, Shear Deception. And then July 1st it's off to Camp again for Camp… Continue reading A Little of This, A Little of That
Timeout Tuesday
As I prepare to take on the whirlwind joy ride of NaNoWriMo Friday at midnight, I'm finding joy in taking deep breaths of relaxation this week. “Keep your faith in all beautiful things. In the sun when it is hidden. In the spring when it is gone.” — Roy Rolfe Gilson
