True Love
The world gets messier each day but one thing remains: LOVE I won’t get all sappy on you even though we’re heading into Valentine’s Day next week, Hallmark has coined this the month of love (romance), and ads are describing their version of “love.” It’s clear to me that the world in general doesn’t have … More True Love

Grief & Joy
The past six weeks can only be described as the ups, downs, corkscrew twists and turns of an emotional roller coaster. For Thanksgiving I had the pleasure of visiting my family who lives in California after not being in my home state for more than four years.

What Are You Celebrating?
Christmas music fills my home. Cookies are in decorating process. The tree glitters with twinkling white lights and smells of pine and the outdoors of colder weather than we have here in Southwest Florida. Setting up a nativity, tiny village, and Advent candles has transformed my living and dining area. Our front door and nearby … More What Are You Celebrating?

He Loves Us!
One of my blogging friends here on WordPress, Mamalava, posted a couple of really great posts this past week about feeling discouraged after looking to our accomplishments and expectations and finding them lacking. At least in her perspective. She went on in the second post (read it here) to remind us of the things that … More He Loves Us!

1260 Publishing
When I wrote my first book, I decided to self-publish (for a variety of reasons). Amazon’s platform was called CreateSpace in those days and seemed like the best option since I wasn’t sure how many books I would end up writing. After a number of years went by with me turning out a handful of … More 1260 Publishing

Author Shout Out!
A new author of YA fantasy, Jenel Northington, recently plugged my latest release Beds & Breakfasts in her newsletter. I’m so grateful for authors sticking together and promoting each other. Jenel has been a faithful editor for my books, and I attribute a handful of my book covers to her creativity. We met about eight … More Author Shout Out!

Why I Take Communion Daily
If you’ve been around (most) churches at all, you’ve probably had at least some introduction to the concept if not the activity of “taking communion.” If not church, then history should have included some reference to it. After all, The Last Supper is a famous painting by Leonardo Da Vinci. Maybe you’ve heard of him? … More Why I Take Communion Daily
