I know. But don’t let the blog title fool you. Today’s thoughts are all about the love. And who can’t use more of that? Great! Let’s go! (((HUG))) When I was a little girl I loved creating. I absolutely adored anything I could put my own creative stamp on. I liked to color, paint, and make things with my hands …
Today I thought it might be fun to dial up the “feel good.” If you’ve visited before, you know I’m a huge romantic. I’m a hearts and flowers kind of gal who melts at a sweet sentiment, tender gesture, or—be still, my heart—a great love story. (And who, in his right mind, can argue with that?) Since I write Heartfelt …
Down in the dumps? Off-kilter? Has the bad news left you breathless? Today if that’s you, no worries! We all need a pick-me-up from time to time. We need a safe place without all the noise. Well, I’m tickled you’re here. This is THE place without the excess racket. It’s just good, ol’ down home meat-and-potatoes, heartfelt, homespun encouragement. Welcome! …
If you’ve followed the world of writing/publishing for any length of time, you well know the ups and downs of this fun (and often crazy) career path. Just this week, another brick and mortar store in our neck of the woods took a hit. They’re closing mid-December. I’m sad to see it go, but I can’t say I’m surprised. They’d …
Over the years, I’ve often thought about dreams. In fact, I’ve blogged about them, too. Certainly, as a writer, my pursuit began with the tiny glimmer of a dream. The dream languished as months slid into years and years into decades. It all but withered away as a long, bone-chilling season blew in and took up residence. Then life changed. …
A familiar voice I’ll always remember was Paul Harvey’s. The Rest of the Story Harvey won over millions with his easy-going demeanor and his “regular guy” persona. I was a young girl when I first heard the radio broadcaster and I liked him immediately. Something about the way Paul Harvey spoke and how he carried himself on air resonated with me. He seemed real. Someone I’d want to know better. He …
Goodness gracious—how quickly seasons change! Though fall officially arrived about two weeks ago, her initial début wasn’t particularly noteworthy. It wasn’t until last weekend that I noticed a subtle shift in the air. Temperatures dropped, leaves started to change, and even the sunlight shone a little differently in the sky. Transformation. It’s finally begun. Here in the Ozarks, the hills …
“Mrs. Herron…We have your son’s lab results back. It’s serious.” There were no preliminaries. No shoot-the-breeze kind of niceties. Just words. Plain, succinct, gut-wrenching words that conveyed the gravity of the situation. I braced myself for the worst and struggled to hold onto some sense of normalcy. This couldn’t be happening. I had a proposal to finish. Despite my mom-like …
At our house we’re in manic mode. Our daughter is a senior in high school this year and involved in a variety of activities—one of which is varsity tennis. While we enjoy watching our daughter play, tennis season is always a busy time of year for us. When she isn’t practicing, she’s playing. (At the end of this week, she …
Back-to-School season officially started over our way this morning. Not sure how I feel about that. You see, today ushered in a laundry list of “firsts” and “lasts.” First day as mama to a high school senior. Last first day of public school. First day of that brand spanking new back-to-school outfit. Last day to make that memory. First day …
