Maybe you’ve done this once or twice over your life: said you were going to do something and then didn’t. For the most part, I keep my word. Ask my children and they’ll tell you I’m extremely adverse to lying, but this really isn’t lying, right? I mean to do it. It’s on my to-do […]

God’s Day Planner? :)
Good Friday. The most painful, hopeless day of all history. The disciples didn’t understand what was going on. Many, many of Christ’s followers were confused. If they had really listened to what Jesus said before He was crucified, things would have felt different … but I’m not even sure they had the capacity to imagine […]

Start New Year Off with the Right Kind of Worship :)
As a service to the faith community, I wanted to pass this dryly hilarious video along so we can all worship more effectively in 2010. East Oregonian article by Kathy Aney–my FIRST real interview, as in sitting down and answering questions on the fly instead of my email or chat. Very fun! And a whole […]

Double the Skating–Double the Fun
I lived. I skated again today and didn’t even feel that sore. Now for those of you picturing me zooming around the rink by myself, attach a child or two to each hand and then picture the unexpected yanking of my body in the direction of whomever is falling down then. Today I feel well […]
Emotionally Backlogged
While the majority of my journey through divorce–and then out of it–has been pretty even keeled, there are emotional ups and downs. But when those emotional moments do come, or even when I just have a bunch of conflicting thoughts bouncing around in my head, it helps SO much to have people I can talk […]
I Saw Something SHOCKING Today!
I would take a picture of it to post here, but I’m too tired and I’m writing this while warm and cozy in my bed. Guess what it was. I’ll give you a couple of hints: 1) I hadn’t seen it for months.2) It’s no longer a fire hazard. Give up? The surface of my […]
Do My Characters Need Therapy?
Off to the Oregon Duck game tonight and wanted to pop in to point you all in the right direction for The Familiar Stranger‘s tour today. 🙂 Jeannie Campbell is a therapist, so what does she think about my characters issues? If you haven’t been clicking to all the blog tours and are a little […]
I Broke into a NEW Market!
Okay, maybe “broke into” isn’t quite the phrase I was looking for. Maybe meandered in and asked nicely if they would carry a local author’s book. 🙂 Here’s Elaina (I hope that’s the right spelling of her name!), owner of the Gaston Market with their newest ware on the shelf behind her. At eye level. […]
