Second edit done. Getting closer to finishing my new fiction book!

Last night I finished the second edit on my new fiction book, The Game Blocks of Life. Our talented daughter Leah, who is a graphic designer, designed the front cover for me.

Grab your dream & a taco event!

My family and my friends know that I LOVE chips and salsa ~ it’s an addiction! I also love Mexican food, encouraging people to fulfill their purpose and to dream big dreams! I have a quote that I often say, “Dream big because we serve a big God!” What is your big dream? You and I are in good company as dreamers with Joseph the Dreamer in the Bible. It’s one of my favorite stories, and I relate a lot to Joseph!  You have probably heard of the story of Joseph, but if you haven’t, it’s found in Gen...

Facebook outage: Can we live without social media?

Yesterday when Facebook and its family of apps had an outrage that lasted for five hours, I didn’t know about it until it was around the time that Facebook and the other apps were restored. Why? Because I was busy living my life. The situation made me think back to the time of my life before Facebook was a thing. What did I do before I joined Facebook? While I’ve had several part-time jobs during my marriage to Ray, I’ve mostly been a stay-at-home, homeschooling mom. Below is a funny pic of Leah...

The retreat was amazing!

I just hosted and spoke at The Power of Shoes speakers/writers virtual retreat on September 16-17, 2021. It was amazing and the speakers were anointed by God! I’ve held these speakers/writers retreats in person twice before here in Butler, Missouri, where I live, and taught part of it at my friend Missy Hoffman’s live event in Hutchinson, Kansas. My business coach Diane Cunningham Ellis encouraged me to “pivot” when Covid-19 hit the USA and so many speaking venues were closed; she said to bring ...

The Power of Shoes speakers/writers virtual retreat

When I traveled to Ireland with my precious daughter Leah several years ago, one of the things I did to prepare was to buy us both good hiking boots for the treacherous, high terrain at times. Ireland has lots of mountains, cliffs, hills, forests, and rain. I’m so glad that I did this! I bought us the same kind and they were perfect for the trip. You can see Leah’s hiking boots in the pic below at the Cliffs of Moher. Shoes are important. They protect our feet. They give us support. And they tak...
