I’m preparing to head off for a season of travel through mid-December. I’ll be taking one trip per month, and while it’s a lot of travel for me, I’m so excited about it. I love to travel, see new places, visit with friends, and gather with writers. This quote is one of my favorites. I…
Hi friends, and happy Wednesday! I’m writing this from my new office in our new home in Florida. Yep! We just made a big move from Maryland, where we’d lived for thirty-one years, to Florida. Let me tell you, you can accumulate A LOT of stuff being in the same house for thirty years. Yikes! …
Happy Wednesday, friends! As authors, we deal with words, and I’d venture to say we’re enthralled with them—striving to use just the right words to convey what we want to say. I listened to a sermon the other day. It was about Caleb, his hope and finishing strong. The Israelites in the wilderness were the…

Happy Monday, friends! I hope you’re week is off to a great start and you’ve gotten a great cup of energy! In case you hadn’t heard, I wanted to be sure and let you know about a super fun contest my publisher and I are running. A STILL LIFE photo contest. You can get…
Happy Monday, friends! I hope today finds you well. We’re dealing with a new cold front and I’m making sure my coffee stays extra warm with my desk warmer (fabulous invention, by the way). But look at this fun recipe that keeps your homemade latte warm as long as you’d like. It’d make a great…
