It's been almost six months since my unexpected abdominal surgery, and it's taken me this long to get back into writing. While I was recovering, all I could do was read (it was not terrible). After a few months of reading, I sunk into a season of deep doubt, anxiety, a...

Happy New Year! I'm a little late on January's blog post, and I haven't even been writing! My part time work at camp has been taking up a lot of my time, and that's okay because I really enjoy that work too. I love being a part of the ministry my husband is in full tim...

I lettered this pallet. It was so fun! You can congratulate me on my perfect snowflakes later. 

It's Giving Tuesday! This is a weird concept to me, because giving should be a part of our lifestyle. But Giving Tuesday is a good place to start. So give! My heart is for ca...

Happy Nanowrimo! I love November for the chance to make real headway on my writing project. This year I haven't been able to get into a good rhythm of writing, until now! November is great for setting a pace and blowing through a couple thousand words a day. It's helpe...

Happy October! I love this month. The chill, sunny days. The rich colors and smells. And this year, the promise of healing for me.

Happy June! I can't believe it's June already. My life is broken into two parts which both feed passions of mine. Through the fall, winter and spring, I write, edit, and read to my heart's content. But summers are dedicated to camp ministry.

My husband works full time,...

 Let's face it: I'm terrible at blogging. This was never a thing I really wanted to do, but it seems to come with the territory of being an author with an online presence. I never know what to write about, or if there will be any interest in what I write. So, I've deci...

Hey friends! 

Exciting news! I submitted my book to be reviewed on Reedsy Discovery which is an amazing online resource for Indie authors! They have professional editors and graphic designers you can hire, and their review program is pretty new, and I'm already loving i...

I've been too quiet around here, because I've been so busy reaching out to reviewers and loving life right now. We're playing the long game with No Way but Through, but I'm hoping it's about to explode and become viral. If not, that's fine too. This is all about gettin...
