She said she was sorry. I found myself confused. Obviously, my memories where on a different plain than hers. "Mother, I think I missed something. Why are you apologizing?" "We never had money, you never had much for Christmas." I never had much, except for memories of love, joy and warmth. I never had much, … Continue reading Bundles of Love
Letting It Go
Who was she? We were leaving the parking lot when I noticed a large white handbag laying on the grass next to the curb. "Stop, stop, stop! There's a ladies purse out there!," I said to my husband as I pointed out the window. He stopped the truck. While I called the management at the … Continue reading Letting It Go
A Change of Mindset – Part of His Plan
It began as an internal dry pit. Soon, the waters of doubt, dismay, and frustration rained from me, creating muddy water as the chasm filled. The surface disappeared from my sight. I was headlong into an overflow created from my own negative thoughts. As the sun began to spill light into darkness that morning, I … Continue reading A Change of Mindset – Part of His Plan
Following God’s Will – Not the Will of Man
I am a believer in following passions, which often results in living outside of what man views as a normal job or career choice. Before each of us was created, God artfully planned the special gifts He equipped us with. All of us that believe have the gift of hearing His voice through extraordinary means … Continue reading Following God’s Will – Not the Will of Man
What Do I Write Now?
I have been absorbed with writing, reading about writing, and writing about reading. If you are a writer, without a doubt you know the meaning of the jumbled words I just wrote. Even with the best laid out plans, an outline of a book, notes and recordings, and with fingers flying on a keyboard, I've … Continue reading What Do I Write Now?
How Do You Write There?
Without having to think about it, I responded to the person's question, "How do you write there?" with "It inspires me!" Like any entrepreneur, the area in which we work is so important to our production. Our writing environment generally does not fit any singular description. Thankfully, writing tools travel well. Most of us can … Continue reading How Do You Write There?
How Many Words Must I Write Today?
As a new author, with one published book under my belt, and numerous books in the works this year, I often find myself in the school desk chair. The virtual text books that I study relate to writing topics, such as: 1st and 3rd tense, how to work around writer's block, how many words to … Continue reading How Many Words Must I Write Today?
The Misunderstood Author
You are an author. I know all about you. You love to write. Your eyes translate the simplest things in life to a story. You find yourself stealing away to your computer or pad of paper several times a day to record your thoughts. Unfortunately, those of us that are creative, artistic, or those of us … Continue reading The Misunderstood Author
This Is The Way, Walk In it
For the past week, this is part of the view I have woken to. Beautiful, isn't it? New opportunities have entered our lives, so we parked the truck. To sum it up - hard work is good for the soul, but somewhere it has to be rewarding. In a recent Annie's Goat Hill blog post … Continue reading This Is The Way, Walk In it
Thank A Truck Driver
What an eye-opener our new business is! I never realized how much of what we use daily, without a thought as to how it got into our hands - besides a trip to the grocery store, is hauled in a van (trailer) on our interstate systems by a truck driver. In our short tenure, we … Continue reading Thank A Truck Driver
