One challenge that is inherent in blog writing (and keeping to a schedule) is that, inevitably, there will come a time where I feel like I have nothing to say. You know the feeling, being physically tired, emotionally tired, just tired. Today is one of those days. I just don’t think I have much to…
Blog
Goals, goals, goals…
Or, how I almost ruined my entire year in the first three days…. I love the new year. I “secretly” love to make resolutions. Only I don’t call them resolutions because that’s stupid and I only make it for about 2 days on whatever resolution I make. So, I do the sneaky thing and call…
Some thoughts on 2020
Phew, we’ve almost made it, haven’t we? In the next week, all our feeds will be filled with “best of” lists and people making public their thoughts for 2021 (Hopefully, better than what many experienced in 2020!) But it doesn’t make much sense to move on to next year, without reflecting on the year we…
The Right Time for New Things
This year, for the very first time ever in my life, I made a gingerbread house. Actually, I made a graham cracker house, but you get the idea. I found and made the recipe for the icing that is like cement when it hardens, I purchased candy canes and gum drops and other candies and…
What’s in it for you?
Hey friend– So I’ve been thinking of this little blog as our place of conversation on the interwebs. I’m learning that there are lots of ways to have real, authentic relationships with people. And one way is through the way we share our lives in the virtual sphere. But, I’m super bad at just talking…
What’s saving my life right now?
Jen Hatmaker concludes every podcast with this exact question to each of her guests. “What’s saving your life right now?” She accepts any answer, whether deep or surface, silly or serious. And the answers range that gamut as well. We’ve been embroiled in this COVID pandemic for 9 months. In early spring, we all shut…
In Praise of Little Free Libraries
Last weekend, I was away from home at a bed and breakfast in a little town not far from where I live. I had just finished my latest read and was in need of a book. And this cute, little town did not have an independent book seller, which made me sad. After a night…
Never Finished?
As a reader, I pride myself on finishing the books that I start. Even the books that start slowly, or I don’t love at first, and (especially) the recommended read that the friend didn’t think I would like. But occasionally, I pick up a non-fiction book with great intentions. I want to learn about a…

Mina Lee was the featured read of Reese’s Reads and the Book of the Month Club. The Storyteller’s Secret was the featured read for Jen Hatmaker’s book…
