October Is My Jam Yes, it’s my birthday month. Yes, it’s the bestest weather of the entire year. Yes, I love to make soup!!! But, it’s also a hard month – ten years ago on the 27th, on a perfect October morning my mom entered her eternal rest within the gates of heaven. It is… [Read More]
Twenty-five and Counting!
A New Book Is Born! I wasn’t sure I had it in me – but The Lord assured me I did! So here we are, WOMEN, SEE US SOAR! A little play on “Woman, Hear Me Roar!” It’s no secret I hold women in high esteem. In all honesty? I think women are pretty incredible. If… [Read More]

Just the sound of the word sounds, well, sounds FRESH! Since my August regrouping I am looking at things with FRESH eyes. From a writers perspective this is good news. What can I write to better relate with my reader? What can I do to better serve my husband? What can I read to expand… [Read More]

A Book Review – Journal the Word
This pretty Bible for Girls, Zondervan’s “Journal the Word,” is the perfect gift for gals who love to take notes and doodle in the margins of their Bible! The NIrV version, which means, New International readers Version, is so easy to read and understand. The recommended age, to me, is way underestimated. I am going… [Read More]
He Still Moves Stones
Stones I know a thing or two about stones, rocks, and gems – my husband is a “rockologist” and a faceter of rare stones. Plus, we lived in the Blue Ridge Mountains of the Appalachian Mountain Range for thirty years. There, rocks grow like weeds. Seriously. De-rock a plot and in one year? It’s filled… [Read More]
