Am I celebrating the Denver Broncos winning Super Bowl 50? Yes, yes, I am. I also realize some of you reading this post may be Panther fans, so understand that while I’m celebrating, I’m not gloating. Sports is always about winning and losing, and Broncos’ fans have experienced both. Which brings me to today’s quote … and the intriguing truth that …
I am living my writing dream — and for that, I am so, so thankful. But I also know “living the dream” means “doing the work.” Fast drafts. Rewrites. Deadlines. Copyedits. And repeat, repeat, repeat until I’m holding a “real book” in my hands. There are days I’m just treading water, trying to keep my head above the waves as I try to …
Insecurity had it’s way with me for too many years. I wouldn’t say it ruined my beauty … because I didn’t think I was beautiful, inside or out. And that belief … that lie … was the surest sign of insecurity’s hold on my life. We all struggle with self-doubt to some degree. Some of us seem able to withstand …
The idea of time machines captures the imaginations of children and adults alike. How enticing to have the chance to go visit times past and interact with history or visit times-yet-to-be and help make history. I’ve always thought it would have been an exciting adventure to be one of the American pioneers heading west in a wagon train. Yet given …
How good a friend are you — with yourself? If someone had asked me that question years ago, I’d have to confess to being a fair weather friend to myself. I hung around me when things were going well — when I could stamp “approved” on my forehead or slap a gold star on my efforts. But when the going …
It’s funny how we count our days, isn’t it? We have busy days and do-nothing days and days we wait for all year long, like birthdays and anniversaries and Christmas. We have days we dread, like the start of school or the end of vacation. Life changing days … and life-shattering days. But I do believe Alexander Woollcott got it …
Christmas can get awfully crowded — filled up to overflowing by a busy schedule. Things to do. People to see. Presents to buy and wrap. Cards to address and mail — or maybe design online and email. Traditions to be kept or begun. And somewhere in the midst of all the doing, we want to remember the reason for the …
I’m going to be honest here for a moment. Not that I’m not honest with you whenever I write a post, but this is one of those “I’m about to share something I don’t usually tell people” moments. Have you ever heard someone say: God is good all the time … And then someone else (maybe you) says: And all …
We so often think of what Christmas is … and rarely think of what Christmas is not. And yet Calvin Coolidge, best known as a a former U.S. president, so succinctly states what Christmas is not: It is not a time or a season … despite Christmas coming ’round the same month each year. I have to agree with former …
I collect Nativity scenes. I don’t have an extensive collection, but I do have a much-loved assortment that includes a hand-sewn cloth Nativity that little hands may play with. I also have a treasured olive wood set from my mission trip to Israel in 2000, when my husband and I chaperoned a high school trip that our son went on. My husband …
