How easy it is to dwell on the past. To unearth old seasons from yesterday’s memories. We might recall special days spent with loved ones. Meaningful moments long since passed. Times of success…or days of discouragement. The thing about reflecting too much on yesterday is that it makes it difficult to embrace now. So why do it? I think it’s …
Hello, all! This is an updated post, but one I think you’ll enjoy. Like other little girls, I often played “pretend.” I dreamed I was a princess, a Barbie, a mermaid, or a teacher. It changed from day-to-day. Between the ages of seven and eight, something else stirred within me. I realized I wanted to tell stories, too. I don’t know that I …
Are you passionate? Are you enthusiastic about whatever it is you’re called to do? If not, maybe it’s time to re-evaluate. Granted, I’m speaking from a writer’s perspective, but creativity isn’t limited to writing. Our creative pursuits are as unique and diverse as we are individually. Passionate folks tend to see the world through a different lens. We love hard, …
Most writers will tell you the in between seasons are the hardest. Because I’ve promised to tell you the truth, I won’t sugarcoat it. They are. Waiting (especially a prolonged season of waiting) is like a knife to the weary writer’s heart. As each hope-filled day passes, so does a tiny bit of our resolve. We struggle to make sense …
If you’ve visited my cyber home for very long, you know many of my posts center around love and encouragement. Why? Well–I’m glad you asked. Love and encouragement are near and dear to my heart for a couple of reasons. We live with enough negativity in this old world. Folks are starved for joy. I’ve experienced adversity. Perhaps, you have, too. That’s why you need some good, old-fashioned …
We’re born into this world defined by someone else’s perception. From the moment we make our grand entrance, labels are thrust upon us based on who we are born to and not who we actually are (a child of God). As we age, things shift a bit. Additional factors are thrown into the success/failure pot. We become known as Sally Sue, …
“Jody” was a sweet girl. She had beautiful blue eyes, a kind smile, and a warm heart. She liked sugar cookies and the color green. We weren’t particularly close friends, though we often shared the same table at lunch. One day, just as I set my tray down, another classmate tapped me on the shoulder. “Hey, Cindy, none of us …
Like many teenage girls I kept a diary. It was a safe place I could record all my private thoughts. Even then, I treasured quiet time with paper and pen. I still do. “Journaling” is something I can do without judgment from the outside world. I can enter that comfort zone and lose myself in thoughts and words and sentences. Diaries and …
Greetings, everyone! I hope your week’s been productive and blessed! Are you enjoying the seasonal colors? I love the pumpkins, cornstalks, and mums! Every few days, I notice something new in my neck of the woods. I think the fire bush in our front yard will be especially pretty this year. Fall marches on… I’ve started some new writing projects while awaiting feedback …
I love to read! (Of course, I would. I’m a writer. Makes good sense.) And since I write contemporary Christian romance, that’s one of my favorite subgenres to read within the Christian fiction market. I like the “tone” and the spiritual message woven throughout these stories. I also like the sigh factor. The one that happens after a couple survives life’s hurdles, …
