I so often look at Friday as the end of the week — Thank God it’s Friday! — I forget that it’s a new day all in it’s own right. A wonderful day, as Maya Angelou said on May 17, 2013. I’m still adjusting to the reality that we’ve lost her voice, her insights, her courage. Today, I wanted …
I first read this quote by C.S. Lewis on my writer-friend, Susan Tuttle’s, blog: Steps Into the Abundant Life. I tucked it away in my quote file thinking I’d highlight it one day … and today’s the day. I’ve wanted to be a lot of different things in my life. Older — as in “Oh, I can’t wait to be 10 …
Yesterday was a busy day for me, as I launched my third novel, Somebody Like You. It was a mix of fun and hard work and by the time 11 o’clock rolled around — when I was working on this blog post — I wasn’t up for a serious quote. Earlier in the day, a writer-friend had brought up the topic …
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 …
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 …
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 …
What a good way to start the week: with a blessing. A prayer for protection. For sustenance. For joy. For love. For dreams fulfilled. So after I uploaded the blessing, I did two things: 1. I prayed for each one for you to be blessed today … and this coming week. 2. And I wondered what kind of blessing you …
The first time I read Anne Morrow Lindbergh’s quote about achieving a state of inner spiritual grace, I thought “Yes. I want that too.” I just didn’t know the journey I would need to take to “function and give as I was meant to in the eye of God” was going to be so arduous. Inner spiritual grace sounded so …
