SEASON OF HOPE Now Available! When I chose the title for this book months ago, I never would have imagined how fitting it would be for the year. I’ve survived cancer and covid, my husband’s Alzheimer’s has stabilized, and we’re (mostly) settled in our new home of five months. It’s been a tough year, but Read More

My Little Free Library!
My Little Free Library! For years I’ve been wanting a Little Free Library (https://littlefreelibrary.org/) for my front lawn, and this past Christmas my family gifted me this adorable house!

A Tribute to Mom
Tribute to Mom I’ll never know how she did it. My mom, born and raised a city girl with dreams of seeing the world, sacrificed that dream to become a farmer’s wife. And then together they raised seven children. While raising those children, she also … made three full meals per day (we’re talking eggs, Read More
Miss You, Mom!
This past week, Heaven flung open its gates, and Jesus opened wide his arms, as trumpeters heralded in a new soul. No, I’m not speaking of those three actors/musicians who’ve recently made the headlines and whose names have been plastered all over Facebook in recent days. I know nothing of their faith to make a Read More
Give Thanks in ALL Things
So far it’s been a tough holiday season. My mom’s been ill for a few years, yet her decline has been very gradual until this past month when it’s worsened like a snowball rolling downhill. Every day she seems to grows weaker, less coherent. Needless to say, it’s not easy to be thankful right now. Yet, 1 Thessalonians Read More

It’s a brilliant business that makes artists Read More

Misperception
Last week I was fortunate to escape home to spend five days at a quiet writing retreat. All by myself! For a writer on deadline, it was perfect. I spent the time editing my next release, Memory Box Secrets, having received full manuscript critiques from my critique partners. (I’m interrupting this post to say I have The Best Read More
So Long Supermom
It’s no secret that I love superhero movies. I’ve become a Marvel fanatic (thanks to my family) and my favorite Disney / Pixar movie is The Incredibles. But, if you look closely at superheroes, none are great at everything, and they all have their kryptonite. They’re also strongest when they don’t go it alone. Consider Read More
