A few weeks ago, I realized I’d landed in a horrible rut. I was sleep-deprived. For months I’d put my well-being on hold and worked ’round the clock writing, revising, editing—you name it. Since I have a very strong drive, a diligent work ethic, and the desire to meet specific goals, I’ve sacrificed downtime—including sleep. Now, you know I’ve often …
When selecting a book to read or buy, like most folks, my eyes automatically scan the cover for telltale clues about the book’s content. Many times if the cover art is intriguing, I’ll give the book a second glance and I’ll at least peruse the book a little longer. I’ll probably read the back cover copy and get a feel for the …
Did you ever set out on a road trip or a vacation and somewhere along the way miss a turn and realize you were lost? Maybe that’s why I don’t drive in big cities. Turning around in the middle of a six lane freeway is a bit of a stretch when there’s traffic crisscrossing in front of me in all directions. Today we have GPS …
Good Monday morning, friends! Here’s to the bright start of a new week… *clink* (You may remember—that’s the sound of my coffee mug toasting yours.) I hope you had a delightful weekend. Over our way, we celebrated Father’s Day in a rather quiet fashion. I made a delicious Smithfield ham, mashed potatoes with creamy, country gravy, green bean casserole, and …
I can. Don’t you just love those words? I do! I can is positive and leaves me with a sigh-worthy feeling. Those two words are the mindset of positive people and who doesn’t appreciate that quality? Happy, upbeat, good-humored folks make us feel good. Rarely, have I heard anyone say, “Gee, I wish Pleasant Polly would pack up her bag …
In life there are a few scenarios that will inevitably play out. We’ll meet with success. We’ll have a few stumbles. We’ll keep going even when common sense tells us to quit. We may even bend, but we will not break—at least not completely. Don’t get me wrong. I believe in brokenness. In fact, God’s word gives specific examples of …
I recently connected with a dear friend from high school. (If you missed that post, you can read about it here.) It’s been a joyful time. We’ve texted and played phone tag. We’ve reminisced and walked down Memory Lane, and we’ve made plans to spend time together toward the end of the month. I can’t wait! I’ve not seen *Beth …
Hello Cindy… The e-mail came by way of my website. …I’m a librarian at XYZ school and I would like to put your books in my library. I remember you telling me that you wanted to be a writer many years ago in high school… Congratulations! I’m proud of you. My breath caught. The sender’s name was oh so familiar. …
I enjoy summertime and all there is to do in the Ozarks. It’s a unique region—one with a vibrant history, some cultural diversity, and a host of friendly folks. Life moves at a different pace in my neck of the woods. We work hard, but we also know how to have fun. (The Ozarks are the beautiful backdrop for my …
Well, I don’t know about you, but I had a slightly crazy week. I topped it off by knocking my wedding band down the garbage disposal. Not to worry—after the shock wore off, I was able to retrieve it! (And I learned to never ever leave my rings next to the sink again as I applied hand lotion.) Oh—and this …
