I’ve missed you! With all the reclining I’ve done the past two weeks, you might think I’ve been on vacation, but that’s not quite the case. On March 27, I had back surgery for a badly herniated disc. A glimpse of me going to surgery – not literally: As the anesthesiologist was encouraging me to inhale and go to …
Thank you to everyone who helped celebrate the release of my eShort novella, You Made Me Love You. It’s exciting to release a new book and it’s even more fun to share the celebration with others. You Made Me Love You is Seth Rayner’s story — and I had fun discovering if the jilted groom from Wish You Were Here …
We all put our trust in something. When I was growing up and I had a bad dream, my mother would comfort me and say, “Think nice thoughts.” As I got older, I learned that thinking even the nicest of nice thoughts only got you so far when it came to both bad dreams and the harsh realities of life. …
I don’t know about you, but there are days when life feels simple … and then there are days when life is nothing but a snarl of complications. Today I’m going with Leonardo da Vinci’s “Life is simple” view of things. Why not? If a true Renaissance man like da Vinci — a painter, sculptor, inventor, musician, mathematician, engineer, inventor, …
One quick question for today: When have you let go of your life — given up control — and seen it soar in unimaginable ways? And yes, I’ll go first: When I stopped fighting God about my past — what was and what wasn’t the truth … whether I could handle it or whether I’d crumble beneath the weight of …
In high school, I was involved in drama — both acting and directing. When I earned a role in a play, I had to learn both my lines and the stage directions — specifically, entrances, exits, and where I stood onstage. My spot on stage was called my mark. Sometimes my mark — as well as other actors’ marks …
God is a God of relationship. He wants a relationship with us … and he wants us in relationship with others. One thing I know — and I write about: relationships are messy. We are broken, messy people trying to love other broken, messy people. Sometimes, when God steps into our fumbling attempts at relationship, something beyond us transpires. I …
Sometimes I find the quotes for my blog posts and sometimes … well, sometimes the quotes leap off the page and find me. It’s Friday. I usually keep my Friday blog posts light. Short. It’s Friday, after all. But Anne Lamott’s quote took me back to a time when God was changing me … reclaiming parts of my life I …
Don’t ever ask me which of my books is my favorite. I love them all for different reasons. Why do I love You Made Me Love You? Maybe because it’s an eShort novella for all of 99 cents!! Maybe because I get to answer the question “Do opposites attract … or combust?” Maybe because it’s the long-awaited sequel to my …
I’ve heard Oscar Wilde’s quote before. The real question is: How would I answer the question? Have I put my bank balance above an intangible but oh-so-powerful emotion?
