Writing Lesson from My Grand-Daughter
I visited my Atlanta grandkids back in June. Two of those darling grand-daughters (Emilie and Audrey) I usually see only once a year, and I swear they grow a foot each time I see them! I love their creativity and watching them grow from baby dolls to tea parties to playing school. This year, while Audie �

Give Yourself a Talking To by Renee Ann Smith
I awoke anxious and afraid almost every morning during my school-age years. Nothing traumatic had happened in my past. No one in my family had died. Two stable parents left for work every morning & returned home every night. We always had a roof over our heads & food on the table. Yet still I �

Name Miriam’s Dog!
As many of you know, we recently added a four-legged friend to our family. We adopted Theo–a three-year-old American bulldog mix–from our local humane shelter, and he’s added a splash of joy to our lives. He’s my writing buddy, my foot-warmer, and my inspiration for a special character in the new book I’m plotting. Beginning Miriam’s �

God’s Provision by Linda Marie Finn
Sometimes things in life just seem to be way too hard and out of our control. Things just don’t seem to go right and we are finding it hard to make money on the side to keep things going smoothly. Maybe you/spouse is on disability for some reason and unable to work full time or �

Rainy Days by Angie Arndt
Some people don’t like the rain. But I love to put on my slicker and boots then take long walks, twirling my umbrella. Have you ever noticed how different the world is after a storm? Colors are more brilliant. The world is still. The air is pure and sweet. There are reasons for those changes �

Do Deadlines Make Your Teeth Itch?
Some of you know that when deadlines hit, I hit a wall. Some folks excel under pressure. I fold. Some people like the thrill of competition. I concede. For those of you who thrive with goals and deadlines—you have my deepest respect and congratulations. For those who struggle—as I do—with meeting demands when the clock �
