Memorial Day 2014

Beth Vogt May 26, 2014In Others' Words 1 Comment

Remembering our military men and women who sacrificed their lives in service to our country … in service to us. Take time to pause … to remember … to be thankful for our armed forces because that is what today is about.  [Tweet “Memorial Day 2014: the legacy of heroes”]

I love the month of May. I celebrate both my birt I love the month of May. I celebrate both my birthday in May (waving at my twin sister 👋🏻) and my wedding anniversary in May (waving at my husband 👋🏻). Today, I embrace how this month teaches us resilience as we watch nature start over. Resilience is courage in action. Resilience is refusing to take no for an answer when someone else tells you no — and sometimes when you tell yourself no. Resilience is digging deep within yourself and asking God for the strength to keep going when you’re weary. It’s May, my friends! Embrace this beautiful month! May God bless you in mighty ways! #inspiration #motivation #today #tuesdaythoughts #focus #choices #hope #perspective #resilience #life #May #nature #truth #encouragement #hope #quotes #quotestoliveby #EmilyDickinson
Bestselling author Rachel Hauck likes to say, “T Bestselling author Rachel Hauck likes to say, “Tell the story between the quotes.” In other words, don’t get stuck in your characters’ heads. Don’t get bogged down in narrative. Have your fictional characters talk things out. As Rachel also says, “Dialogue is action.” I’m a writer who loves dialogue. My first drafts are loaded with so much conversation, I often say my characters are naked, hungry, and homeless because I skip the other details. Writers, how do you handle dialogue? Readers, what’s your take on dialogue in novels? #motivation #thursdaythoughts #quotes #quoteoftheday #writingquotes #writers #writing #authors #authorlife #books #novels #fiction #creativity #dialogue #story#encouragement #ElmoreLeonard
Rob’s always willing to sit in front of my iPhon Rob’s always willing to sit in front of my iPhone camera and make a reel with me — even when he’s sick. The man’s a family physician. You name a virus, he’s been exposed to it. He rarely gets sick, but this cold has been hanging onto him for 10 days! But a man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do, right? He just told me he’d mime his part of our reel this week. I don’t waste anything. Hmmm. If I put a mime in a novel, there would be a lot less dialogue to write … Who’s your best cheerleader? We all need them. #writerslife #writing #writers #authorslife #fiction #novels #laughter #fun #humor #husband #wife #marriedlife #medicalhumor #familyphysican #thedocisin #behindthescenes #reallife #reellife #igreels
Some days are difficult — more difficult than we Some days are difficult — more difficult than we ever expected. Sometimes those days pile up into difficult weeks that turn into months. Y’all know what I mean. The best thing to do if your life is like that right now? Keep going. No sense in quitting in the middle of heartbreaking time. Who wants to be stuck there? Even the smallest bit of progress makes a difference. Even the smallest prayer is heard by God. #inspiration #motivation #today #tuesdaythoughts #focus #choices #hope #perspective #progress #life #circumstances #truth #encouragement #quotes #quotestoliveby #WinstonChurchill
