Change – noun - coins as opposed to paper currency: a handful of loose change.In case you’ve never visited my home and native land, or have not been exposed to our currency, here is a brief overview of the money in my coin purse, i.e. the loose change.The coin with the smallest monetary value is the five-cent piece, also called a nickel. (We stopped using the one cent piece, the penny, in 2013.)

Change is Inevitable by Paty Jager

 I don't think the Blog Queens knew how much things would be changed when they came up with "change" as the theme for this month's blog. This past year, I've had two conferences I was excited to attend canceled. I now have boxes of  swag sitting in my office and no way of knowing when it will get handed out to readers. The chocolate coins are going to have to be handed out or they will go bad.

My Crazy Life as an Author by Collette Cameron

No Lady for the LordI never intended to be an author. I was an avid romancereader who thought maybe someday—in the far distant future—I might writea book someday.

But the thing that keeps popping up in one way or another isall the writing groups that I am a part of and the author friends I treasure

A thankful mind....by Peggy Jaeger

 If you listen to any of the local/state/national news programs on any given day, you would think the entire world is imploding. Or, as my grandmother used to say - often!- going to Hell in a handbasket.From religious wars, to the opioid crisis, to the never-ending Covid pandemic; the racial inequality and injustice we have in this country, the gender divide, even the stalemate in our own

A Path Back to Thankfulness - Alice Rosewell

Thankful for Mundane Things by Sarah Raplee
