Joy to the World!
Christmas is just one day in a season full of celebrations and reflections. While it’s the most important day of the season for me, I’m glad that we have a whole season to re-evaluate, celebrate, and spread love no matter a person’s faith or lack thereof.

It’s Been So Long #WEPFF Challenge featuring Unmasked #amwriting #flashfiction
Well, here I am posting late to a challenge that really isn’t a challenge. This month’s W.E.P. challenge is very laid back. Post if you want anytime you want. No prizes, just fun, and fellowship, and the joy of stories. To say it’s been a rough year seems unnecessary and yet it’s the reason my […]
