The Blog Carnival on Peace has left me with plenty to ponder. I shared how I haven’t experienced peace in my own life recently, and that I needed to work on surrendering.
There were some amazing thoughts and ideas on how to accomplish this in the wonderful posts I read… and I’m beginning [...]

When I launched this website/blog, I had just finished writing a book! I started writing (diligently) last January, and had the first draft ready in March. I edited (and edited), had some friends and family read it (shockingly, they thought it was good)… then sat down to write a query letter to send [...]

The past few days I haven’t felt all that fun and I couldn’t decide what to write about… instead I found this video from a new show I’m hesitant to admit we absolutely love.
‘Modern Family’ isn’t for everyone, but I think it is hilarious! The family in this video is the one my own [...]

For quite some time I’ve had the poem below saved in my drafts. I found it in a book I read on OCD a few years ago, and it really stuck with me.

This song is one of the most inspirational songs (IMHO), and I think we could all use that right now…
Please continue to pray for the people of Haiti… and for those who are [...]
