Have you ever had one of those days where you need to stop fretting and remind yourself of all the blessings you have? Or maybe it’s been more like a week, a season, or a year that has drawn you down into thoughts of how difficult your life is or how broken the world has …
If you read my last post you know I’m not in a good place right now. Then to top it off, I came down with a cold. Welcome to my pity party. Lol! But time waits for no one. Back in January, I signed up for a pitch appointment at a writers conference in mid …

Proverbs 10:5 TPT (parenthesis are mine) Don’t you love when God speaks clearly by multiple avenues? That’s been my experience this week. Between my Bible plan …
I woke up a few days ago—after trying to work on rewriting my novel—with the idea for this blog keeping me from falling back to sleep. I have to explain a few things first. I finished my manuscript like three years ago and turned it in for a developmental edit. The comments that came back …
