It’s Release Day! July 12, 2016. Today, July 12, 2016, is the official release day of my debut novel,. They call it a debut because it’s the first book of mine the whole world gets to see, but it’s actually the fifth book I wrote. The road to this day was long and arduous, paved with soaring heights and crashing depths (very Anne Shirley-ish), but we are here at last. For twelve years, give or take, I studied my craft, found my voice, wrote the million words Ray Bradbury says you have to write before you...

Morning Coffee: November 2014
http://morningcoffee.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 12, 2014. Saint on the Paint. Nativity Fast is coming up, starting on Saturday (for those of us on the New Calendar). Now that my children are almost grown, or grown, and far too old for things like this, my head is full of ideas of things that would be so much fun for a mama with younger children to do with them at this time of year. I also made Jesse Tree ornaments when my kids were way too old, so I missed the Jesse Tree boat as well. Saint on the Paint. It might be an act of servi...

Morning Coffee: February 2015
http://morningcoffee.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 10, 2015. Looking for the Good. I watched a video by Rivka Malka Pearlman this morning, and something she said really got me thinking: She spoke of transition being a good thing! And this, just after I have blogged about how the cancer journey feels like exile (SO NOT a good thing). But it challenged me, and I started to ponder.I should look for the good. What good things have come about in my life due to Wes having Glioblastoma? Cancer has taught me that I am surrounded by community.

Sunday, August 31, 2014. The Other Side of the Tapestry. The load is too heavy! Why so much on me, on us? And the answer came with this thought: look how tender-hearted it has made you. Look at how much you lean on me. Look how much this has humbled you. Remember that arrogant young woman you used to be, so full of pride? Remember how jaded you were after you graduated from Seminary? Remember how you told me you wanted to become holy? Links to this post. Saturday, August 30, 2014. A Slice of Life. So las...
