I had not planned this post ahead of time, but when I sat down to decide what this one should be it just seemed to fit for me to catch you up on what's been going on with my writing, my progress, some of the rough patches that have demanded more time and work, and … Continue reading Continuing On

Looking Back to Move Forward
I have to be honest. I haven't really been balanced or centered as far as my writing ever since Mama went Home over two years ago. I have been wandering in a sense, easily losing my focus. This has affected my writing this blog, my author page, and my book, "The Sailor's Legacy." Mama was … Continue reading Looking Back to Move Forward
Droppin’ Taters
Because I had been sick, I recently missed doing one of my favorite things. Daddy called and asked if I would be up to helping drop potatoes one Saturday morning or afternoon. Well, of course, I wanted to say, "Yes!" I'd been waiting for this since I knew it's about that time again and … Continue reading Droppin’ Taters

Here, we … Continue reading From Barren to Beauty

I find that I usually do make some sort of resolution, even if it's simply to try to do better with the ones I made last year. Trying … Continue reading Been Doin’ Some Thinkin’
Letters of Lasting Significance
As I was waking up this morning talking to God I thought of how I might get into the habit of sending a morning greeting to my son. Then I thought of doing the same with my daughter-in-love, his sweet wife and with my daughter who is still living at home. I have always called … Continue reading Letters of Lasting Significance
