Submission
Yesterday I did one of the most emotionally draining things ever. I clicked “send” on an e-mail that had an entire book manuscript attached to it. I purposefully did said deed at my favorite coffee shop for a couple of reasons: 1. The theme of the book is coffee. 2. I wrote a large portion [...]
Can I Get a Do-Over and a Give-away!
I had the pleasure of meeting with Circle of Friends author Elizabeth Ward this week to interview her about her brand new book, Can I Get a Do-Over? The Grace of Second Chances. Liz’s book is the second in the new series of books that Circle of Friends has produced with Barbour Publishing called Women [...]
Hide and Seek
Hi, I’m peeking my head out of my writing cave to share a great story that happened the other day. Have you ever tried to hide from people? Hide from God? Yeah. Me too. Didn’t work so well. I was trying to hide. I just wanted to sit and write and not see anyone I [...]
SDWSC winner
It’s been a long and eventful week around here. T-Rex missed the whole week of school because of illness and today was a snow day. I have much to blog about next week when everyone is (hopefully) back in school. In other news, my husband Kedron has been doing a month long design challenge spreading [...]
I did what I could
I find that when God has a lesson for me to learn, it becomes a running theme in my life. Everywhere I turn, I hear the same message – at church, in my Bible study, in my reading, at conferences I attend. He speaks the message so often, through so many venues, that I can’t [...]
DaySpring winner!
I had the most wonderful weekend at the Cornerstone University Women’s Leadership Conference. I can’t wait to share some stories with you AND host another give away. Let’s just say I was floored by a couple of the talks that the main speaker Elisa Morgan gave. She happened to talk in depth about something we’ve [...]
Change of perspective
Have you entered the DaySpring giveaway yet? There’s still time, go comment on this post! The evening after I dropped off 3 diet cokes and cookies to my friend, a cloud of discouragement and guilt rolled in as quickly as a summer thunderstorm. The storm’s winds dissipated the joy I experienced from reaching out to [...]
Blessed & Loved & a giveaway
The other day the doorbell rang and I saw a package on the porch with my name on it from DaySpring. I can’t even tell you how much I love packages and cards that come in the mail with that flower-y DaySpring logo. Especially on dreary winter days where nothing seems to be going as [...]
Getting up Gracefully
We woke up yesterday to ice-covered streets. But we breed ‘em tough up here, and school wasn’t even delayed. I bobbled my way down to the bus stop with the kids, and I nearly made it home before my feet slipped out from under me. With arms and legs flailing, I landed in a snow [...]
