I have obviously been away from blogging for awhile. A break was much needed for several reasons. The biggest reason has to to with my writing. I am still working on my debut novel and trying to get it ready for pubilication. This past year and a half has been tough as far as keeping … Continue reading Back After a Break

A New Year
This past year has been such a paradox in so many ways. It has seemed to rush by in a blur while at the same time I felt I was in slow motion like a slug. I knew some of the darkest, hurtful, and sad days ever; and some of the brightest, healing, and … Continue reading A New Year
The First Thanksgiving
That first year without a loved one is tough. Everyday is different with them not in your daily life, or at least where you could call them or go visit with them; share a laugh, a hug, all those things about when they were still here. Any birthday, anniversary, or holiday makes it even harder … Continue reading The First Thanksgiving

Imagine!
Can you just imagine?! What it must have been like on that first Resurrection morning to see what had happened in the spirit world! Before the discovery was even made on Earth, all Hell feared and trembled, while all Heaven rejoiced because the angels and demons had witnessed, and they knew what had truly happened! … Continue reading Imagine!
