I was so grateful to stumble upon the website Insecure Writers Support Group. Realizing I wasn't the only insecure writer on earth was such a relief. Somehow, knowing I'm not alone in the sea of insecurity helps rid me of the albatross that at times makes me feel like a fraud, certain that everyone else is… Continue reading “I” is for…

“H” is for…
It's my favorite place in the entire world. But more than a place, I think of it as a state of being. Home is where I am when I have my kids and grandkids with me, whether it's at my house or elsewhere. Home is where I am when I'm on a nature walk, feeling… Continue reading “H” is for…
“F” is for…
So I couldn't decide to post on forgiveness or faithfulness, because both are critical for me to live a joyful, successful life. Faithful, however, seems to jive with my theme a little better for the A to Zing fun, so Faithful it is. Dictionary.com defines "Faithful" as such: faith·ful /ˈfeɪθfəl/ Show Spelled [feyth-fuhl] Show IPA adjective… Continue reading “F” is for…

But rest assured, tomorrow begins April and the A-Z Blogging Challenge, for 26 posts in 30 days. God… Continue reading Calm Before the Storm
A Writer’s Heaven
I've been waiting for this weekend since about this same time one year ago. Why, you ask? If you didn't, I'll tell you anyway. 🙂 It's my second NCW writer's conference, and it's less than three days away. The first one gave me so much - ideas, motivation, inspiration, new writing friends, and time to re-evaluate the… Continue reading A Writer’s Heaven
Writing My Memoir
So the idea of writing my memoir has been tumbling around in my mind for a long time now. Having a tendency to cram ten lifetimes into one, I've experienced so many things in my life, good as well as some not-so-good (aka: mistakes), that I would like to share in the hopes of helping… Continue reading Writing My Memoir
I Am a Writer
There, I said it. But those words do not come easy. I don't know why it's so hard to admit to being a writer. To be able to own it. It almost feels like arrogance as I fight to make that claim out loud. Claiming to be a writer sounds like I'm admitting to being good. … Continue reading I Am a Writer
