Why Writers Should Think Like Plumbers
I recently wrote this on my Facebook page: I think a lot. (Does this surprise you?) And one thing I can’t seem to resolve is this idea of good ambition and selfish ambition. I know a few people who tend toward Me-Monster-ness, and, because of that, I fear I’ll become that too. The stress is […]

Sabbatical and my Burnout
“A bird flying, never nesting, is soon plummeting.” Mark Buchanan (Click to tweet) I’m the Live Uncaged lady. The soaring girl. The bird without limits. Except that I’ve hit a big, fat limit, looming ominous limit in seven letters: b u r n o u t. I can’t think straight, can’t strategize, can’t slow my […]

The problem with {my crazy} Imagination
If you are blessed/cursed like me, you have an active imagination. This can be good when you’re writing novels and creating storyworlds. But it has its dark side. (Cue Darth Vader music). And for me, this always means cancer. So I checked my voice mail, something I do about every three months on our home […]

09 – This Habit Will Change Your Life
If you’d like to subscribe to this podcast on itunes, click here. When I stumbled across this verse, it surprised me. I hadn’t remembered reading about the elders of Israel dining with God. Wow. And cool thing: they didn’t DIE! Then Moses, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and the seventy elders of Israel climbed up the mountain.There […]

To the Brave Ones
I haven’t publicly commented on the Nathaniel Morales case–a man who was convicted last week on five counts of sexual molestation. (He faces more trials with more victims.) Unfortunately, sexual abuse of children is not an uncommon thing. It runs rampant in this broken world. What is scandalous is the confirmed fact that the church […]

I Felt So Vulnerable
I realize I didn’t give a report on how our Unmarked Marriage seminar went on Saturday. Part of the reason is that nearly every time I talk openly about sexual abuse and recovery, I get sick afterward. I spent Saturday afternoon in bed, and recovered by the next day, thankfully. All that to say, please […]

We’re all Kittens on the Overpass
I drove up the high overpass crossing from one behemoth Texas freeway to another. I usually love the ascent, as it’s the only time I have a mountain-like perspective in Texas, a land (at least where I live) of little topography. So we climbed. In the corner of my periphery, I spied a black clump […]

Dream of publishing your book?
Hello writer-dreamer! You’ve had this book in your heart and head for years, and you’ve finally spilled your guts on paper (or better said, in pixels and bytes). Perhaps it’s been stuck in a cyber drawer for years, knocking to get out, but your fear has kept you back. Or maybe something more practical like […]
