Moving and Back to Writing
I’ve been missing in action lately. I apologize. We are moving. In fact, we’ve been moving over the course of the last three weeks, and we still have more moving to do. This explains my absence. I know, excuses, excuses.We now live 200 miles south of our previous address, and the unpacking and searching for … Continue reading Moving and Back to Writing

Don't you love how God works things out? My husband's birth mom and my husband pray every day for my writing endeavors. They ask the Lord not only that I will feel inspired but that He will make ways for others to enjoy the fruit of my labors. God is answering those prayers and I'm … Continue reading Published
Plate Spinning
Projects. How many spinning plates are you holding? Sometimes, I think I have too many, but I tire of one project and move on to another. What about you? Some people think that having too many means you’ll never finish one. That’s a possibility for sure. Perhaps I should schedule a project for each day … Continue reading Plate Spinning

Lunch
Yesterday was a balm to my soul. When was the last time I had lunch out with girlfriends? A crazy long time. I miss it so much. I see these ladies almost every Sunday, but we get little time to chat. As a social person, the first year of the pandemic irritated me. Soon, I … Continue reading Lunch
Meet Chester
Meet Chester, my first snowman. While on vacation in Arkansas, it snowed a good four inches, and my sister-in-law Karry and I had a blast building Chester. He is sporting my scarf and my mom’s black hat. Having never built a snowman, it surprised me how much work it turned out to be. Lots of … Continue reading Meet Chester
Grateful
Life is full of difficulties and delights. Dreary days can become cheery days, and even serendipitous days can become sad ones. In November, as National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) progressed, I experienced some of these moments. Kudos to ProWritingAid who provided a wonderful place to record progress, find regions and communities, and buddies for the … Continue reading Grateful
I think I can
NaNoWriMo is running at full speed and Casey Jones is chugging up the mountain saying, “I think I can. I think I can. I think I can.”—shoveling as much coal in as he can to make it possible. Yep. You guessed it. I’m Casey, just spelled differently. And well, I’m a girl. 😊 I’m about … Continue reading I think I can
