Nonnegotiables

Things that guide your life compass should be nonnegotiable. Nonnegotiables mirror your values. The define what you will and won’t accept from others and from yourself.…

Hello Monday: Why I Avoid Trends
I am famous for not jumping on the latest and greatest band wagons because I have learned that my values are often not inline with trends. It doesn’t matter if it is a book trend, a product trend or a fashion trend. All trends have a few things in common. They are often short lived…

Redemption Hurts
Someone asked me what is the main theme for my second novel, Almost There, and I answered redemption. Briana has to look her ugly past in the face, forgive herself and accept the forgiveness of God before she can move past it to a life of peace. It’s like this, no one told me that…

Sunday Thoughts: Resolutions, sort of…
I usually do not make resolutions. I can never stick them out all year. I read once that it takes doing a thing for 30 days to make a habit. So this year I am going to try that, 30 days to make a habit. Then do it again the next month and the next.…

Sunday Thoughts: Where is God?
I have to wonder why people don’t believe in God. I can’t imagine not believing in God. How can a person look at this world and think nope, no God? It all just appeared from some big bang. (Not to be confused with the Big Bang Theory TV show that I love. Bazinga) To me…
