Day 27
All you can do is your best. Look at all the options. Weigh the pros and cons and make the best choice of the options. You can’t wonder if it is right or wrong, good or bad. You can’t let the what ifs haunt you after. True you might live to regret the decision. If…

Day 26
“Hold on to your slip, darling.” Life is changing at a rapid rate. One minute you’re comfy in your circle skirt and Mary Jane’s; the next minute you’re comparing mortgage rates and hiring a realtor. Seems that is how life is though. When important things happen they happen fast. A big part of adulting is…

Day 25
Big transitions come from little steps, small actions and tiny adjustments. When life turns your vessel around, keep adjusting your rudder a small bit at a time to keep your boat floating. When the big waves come, and they will, hold on until it passes move quickly and do what you can. How do you…

Day 24
When life pulls the rug out from under you and you land on your butt, look up….God has you. He will stand you up, dust off your butt and point your feet in the direction you need to go. I must hold onto this truth right now. If I don’t I will be a sadness…

Day 23
I’ve started seeing advertisements for that money snatching made up holiday. You know the one that is all hearts and flowers. The ads offer cute coffee mugs, T-shirts, posters, throw blankets and key fobs with sweet words of endearment and love. None of it we need in our lives. My husband and I have more…

Writer’s Log Day 22… Finished the draft of Prayer After Prayer, a new book I’m working on. Handed off to my first editor, AKA my mother. She gets a first look at all my work. Well, most of it. Why? Well, she’s my mother. Do you have a Mom? I mean you must since you…

Day 21
Today we officially started house hunting. We are a large family of seven in a shoe box house. I am sort of deflated. When we find a house that fits our family it doesn’t fit our budget. If it fits the budget the house is always missing something. We have been renting the shoe box…

Day 19
I dream about home and writing when I should be doing other things. Sometimes focusing is difficult. I try not to stifle daydreaming. Some of my best ideas come when my brain is playing. Let your mind wander when you can and let it know that is it not in a box. Tell your mind…

Day 17
The problem with saying, ” I am a Christian.” is all Christians are NOT the same. Humanity has twisted the word Christian. There are humble Christians, Holier than you Christians, Sunday Only Christians, Look How Successful I am I give pennies to charity Christians, Arrogant Christians, and Human Loving Christians. I am a Christian. I…

Day 15
Halfway through January and people are still whining about last year. In the words of the famous snow princess, let it go. There is nothing a human can do about last year. Unless you have a time machine, leave last year alone. Stop picking it back up. Don’t look backwards, you are not going that…
