And the Countdown Is On! - AuthorCynthiaHerron.com

Oh, my goodness.

The days are rushing by at warp speed.

Thanks so much for extending grace as I’ve stepped back from blogging for a time.

Update

My father continues to recover from his tumble a few weeks ago, though it’s been an odyssey. After Daddy’s fall, he spent several days in the neuro trauma ICU. The last few weeks, he’s recuperated in a rehab facility, where’s he undergone intensive physical therapy.

Many of those days, I’ve trekked back and forth to spend time with my father, as have other family members. Combine that with readying our youngest for college and me preparing for the upcoming ACFW conference and you have one tired gal.

Whew.

To be honest—I’m exhausted.

But…

I’m in get ‘er done mode as the countdown is on!

If everything goes according to plan, my daddy’s set to go home this week. (Praise!)

In about four weeks we take baby bird to college. Eleven days after that, I head to Nashville for conference.

There’s a lot left to accomplish.

We still have dorm room things to buy, college girl’s wardrobe to update, and I have a host of work-related must-dos before I head to Nashville. (Not to mention—find the perfect dress for the conference gala, which is no small feat. So many style and color choices and so little time!)

We have a winner.

The winner of The Reason is Billie S.

Congratulations, Billie! I know you will love this life-changing novel by author William Sirls.

I’ll get your ARC in the mail to you.

Wednesday WOWs.

I’ve come across some great thoughts recently and I wanted to share.
