Follow Me As I Follow Plato: Augustine of Hippo

Our Christian history is filled with brave characters, who had unique encounters with God and did amazing things, things that we rightly admire and celebrate. But many of these same heroes also acted out dumb ideas because their own cultural presup...

What an incredible evening to celebrate launching THE BENEFITS OF BEING AN OCTOPUS into the world!

For one thing, 133 Octopus cupcakes were eaten. That alone would make a successful party. But then there was also AN EASY CHEESE TABLE! As in, Easy Cheese designs on a saltines made-to-order!

After much contemplation here and there, I have decided to do something drastic. Something earth-shattering and unbelievable for most people I know. I am going to…

…kill all my Snapstreaks.

For those who are blissfully unaware of the concept, a Snap-streak is a feature of the popular...

I’ll be doing a day long workshop in Jacksonville on 13 September. I’ll be covering writing a novel from the idea through the completed manuscript along with information on the business of publishing.

Registration is here.

While it’s being run by an RWA chapter, the workshop is designed for all fic...

De los santos de mi niñez*, cuya compañía rutinaria marcó mis días**, sólo a Jorge*** no he conseguido perdonarlo****.

*Que son los mismos santos de mi vida adulta, pero observados desde un corazón donde la fe todavía levantaba bastiones firmes, antes del divorcio entre mi existencia y la de dios...

I recently finished reading Jennifer Dukes Lee’s new book about control and surrender and faith. It spoke truth right into my Type A, Enneagram 1 life. I have no doubt I’ll share more about it with you here because that’s what porch friends do. But today let’s welcome Jennifer to the porch, where...

It’s pub day for my new book! Happy birthday to The Wondrous Workings of Planet Earth!!!

Sometimes this blog is a dispassionate and intellectual summary of academic research. Sometimes it's a total squee-fest about a great source or a fascinating piece of historical evidence. And sometimes it's the equivalent of rage...

In her cheery new book, Whiskey in a Teacup, Academy Award-winning actress, producer and entrepreneur Reese Witherspoon opens up about how growing up in the South made her who she is. She shares family traditions, favorite books, tips for entertaining at home, and plenty of beautifu...

Do people trust you? I recently gave 360 feedback to a leader and one of his lowest scores was that people don’t trust him. He was dumbfounded. “How can this be? I don’t lie, I don’t cheat, I don’t steal,” he said. All of those statements I agree with because if he outright lied, or stole, or che...

There are a lot of questions about how marketing and branding are different and how they are the same. In this two or three part blog series, I’ll explore what branding and marketing are, and how they work together.

What is branding?

What do you think when you think of a brand? Sometimes you thin...

As much as I love spending quality time journaling and decorating my pages each and every single day, sometimes life gets in the way. Even though I’ve made it a part of my daily practice to carve out at least 10 minutes to get creative, I find myself falling behind. Clusters of blank spaces pop u...

Meu vôo foi na...

Hi friends! If you follow my blog, you know this post should have been up last week. Unfortunately, last week was terrible. I had three deadlines, two of which were completely unexpected. The last thing I could manage was to finalise this blog post, so I’m sorry. The good news is that today, I’m...

I will kneel at the closed stone door

And survive the pain of the meek and poor

Until His light shines down upon my face,

Filling my spirit with warmth and grace.

I will alone walk down a darkened path,

Knowing in my heart that He who hath

Adorn mercy and unconditional love

Shall send to me a message b...

If you’re a regular reader of this blog (heck, even if this is your first ever visit to my website)  you know I love dogs. I don’t own a dog (YET!), but I adore them, which is why I eagerly snapped up an ARC of Heidi Lang’s latest middle grade novel, RULES OF THE RUFF. It has everything I love in...
