Caregiving For All Seasons
These days, my role as a caregiver looks different than it did ten years ago. I have two young-adult children who can basically fend for themselves. But, I can still recall with vivid detail the season of life where my caregiving duties were in much more demand. From chauffeuring my kids to games and practices,…

What I’m Up To This Summer
It’s hard to believe July is almost over. As August approaches, I know my days of summer and free time draw to a close. With the couple of weeks I have left before school responsibilities begin, I plan to enjoy and savor each day. Today, the lingering humidity of the past couple of weeks lessened.…

Everywhere God Launches
Reader, the book is available for purchase! In some ways, I can’t believe I made it to this point. I think every author has a moment, or two, or three, where she wants to quit. The task of writing a book seems too daunting, too difficult. I certainly hit that moment several times along the…

On Writing and Fall
