The Slow Way

Exactly three years ago today I was training for my sixth and most strenuous completed marathon for the Bataan in New Mexico in 2018. The marathon was done in the end of March so I had to train mostly indoors because I live in the north where the snow flies. This year God has meContinue reading “The Slow Way”

Trekking On

Whoosh! The rewrite for “Thirteen Week Bible Trek” is done! Next week, God willing, I will complete my personal editing and then send it off to my editor for final editing. This mini devotional book took longer than I planned. But it was done for God’s glory on His schedule. If all goes well, IContinue reading “Trekking On”

Altered schedule

Having a written plan and working it can be two different things. Today my plan was to complete the rewrite of “The Thirteen Week Bible Trek”. It was planned for 3 p.m. later in the day because I knew I had my first Cinqair infusion at 11:30 a.m. for my eosinophils asthma. Even though IContinue reading “Altered schedule”

Unknown Venture

This experience is part of launching a new ministry with the Written Retreat. It is aContinue reading “Unknown Venture”

Reading

In order to be a good writer you have to be a good reader. I don’t know who coined that phrase but every writer agrees this is true. This year I set a goal of reading at least twelve books during the year. Now that I set that I probably will have to increase itContinue reading “Reading”

Blank Journals

This is unbelievable! For the first time ever I found I had not one single blank journal in my house. I always have blank journals waiting for my pen to fill. Somehow during the last year they were depleted. So I had to put on a mask and venture into a store to buy aContinue reading “Blank Journals”

The Next Project

Onward we move to the next book project. At least three book projects were on my bucket list, a devotional, fiction and a self help. However, My Lord, again has refined that number and I am merely following His lead as I marvel at how His plan is much larger than mine. For the nextContinue reading “The Next Project”

Second Edition Release!

The second edition of “Lives of a Gem! God’s Treasured Possession” released today, January 15, 2021. This book now has two formats – paperback and eBook. Six short months ago the first edition was released and I was very disappointed when I was stopped by the hand of God about having an eBook version. IContinue reading “Second Edition Release!”
