Love is worth the risk
Sun is gleaming off the smooth swath of knee deep snow outside my windows so brightly I may need sunglasses! I am relishing a stretch of days in which there is nothing to do but cozy up inside and keep warm. And write. I scurried about last week promoting Hearts in Bloom, along with my […]
Another year; another new start. I spent yesterday taking a wide view of 2026 and 2027. My primary goal is to get my out of print books republished as the Honor at Heart series. I’m hoping to publish books one and two in March with another to follow every two months until (GULP) Mid-2027. Other […]
The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light… (Isaiah 9:1) We got a real snow Saturday–the fluffy kind that makes the world look enchanting. Thanks to the kindness of neighbors and family my driveway is clear and I can get out! Kindness is always light in the world. I also got candles […]
