Gee whiz, is it just me or has society’s perception of romance become more than a bit skewed? I don’t know about you, but I’m worn out with television programing these days. Not to sound prudish, but when something is touted as a “romance” on T.V. I expect it to deliver; I don’t want to see unflattering portrayals of what …
I Now Pronounce You…
Recently, I stopped at a fast food restaurant for an iced tea and a salad. Seated two tables across from me was an elderly couple in their early eighties (I’m guessing). The gentleman sported a somewhat wrinkled blue work shirt with faded blue jeans and sensible looking shoes. His wife wore a beige polyester dress, complete with a strand of dime store beads. Pausing briefly …
The Happily Ever After Factor
In my previous posts Isn’t It Romantic and 10 Reasons Why I Write (Faith-based) Romance, I touched on matters of the heart and why I write what I do. The art of romance shouldn’t be rocket science, but many times, the perception of romance is so distorted by what media and television purport it should be, our views become skewed and God’s original …
Going For Broke
I’ve always been a “go for broke” kind of person. In other words, I believe anything that’s worth doing is worth doing well. I think when we’re younger, we tend to hang back a bit because of fear. Not just reluctance–fear. Fear of rejection. Fear of peer perceptions. And maybe, as odd as it sounds, even fear of success. In …
Is it Possible?
In a society where we’re continually bombarded with bad news and negativity, it can sometimes be difficult to keep a positive perspective about things. Today, especially, I think we have to be cautious about these influences or our lives can become one big melting pot of worry. Worry turns to fear, and the fear in turn can be paralyzing. I don’t bury my head …
Love Is in the Air
They say a way to a man’s heart is through is his stomach. I’ve not really tested this theory (intentionally), but I do believe there is some truth to that statement. I mean, what normal, red-blooded man doesn’t like a warm slice of bread baked fresh from the oven? Or an apple, cherry, or peach pie that’s made from scratch? Or my …
The Three R's…Reading, Recipes, and Romance
Many years ago, when my husband and I were first married, I cooked and made practically everything from scratch. I did this for several reasons: It was cheaper. That’s how my momma taught me. We didn’t have all the prepared things then that we do today. It just plain tasted better! I’ll always remember one of the first meals I made …
At Calvary
Sometimes I wonder if I’m too “preachy” in my posts. It truly isn’t my intention. I just feel that, as Christians, it’s our mission to share the message of salvation. Perhaps, there is one reading this blog post today that doesn’t have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Maybe you don’t understand what it’s all about or how to ask …
Love Is Bloomin'
Why is it that when spring is in the air, our hearts seem a little lighter, our minds not as encumbered by the darker days of winter? Everything is gently coaxed awake to thrill us with vibrant color. Even the grass that will soon need its first trimming offers a visual treat! The birds start singing at five a.m., and …
