It took a couple hours to get through the cobwebs to find this page. It’s been a little over a year since I wrote my last blog post. I figured it was a waste of time, and I had better things to do. Better things to spend my time on. Time was precious.And now there…

The one sure thing about life, the one thing you can pretty much count on, is that it won’t always be easy. You know this. You’ve already been through some tough stuff. And you’ve survived. Maybe even triumphed. But then it all comes back for a second round. Or a third. Maybe you’re getting hit…

I’m fine. I’m fine. I’m fine. Maybe you’re familiar with the mantra? It’s easy to say. Easy to repeat. And easy to convince yourself of. Because if you say something enough times, eventually you begin to believe it. Even if it’s not true. So last week I wrote about change, and how I was going…

“You gain strength,courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, ‘I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.’ You must do the thing you think you cannot do.” — Eleanor Roosevelt. So we…

How did it get to be July already? And I haven’t blogged since my book came out in May! Well. To be honest, I’m still on the fence with the blog, as it doesn’t seem to be the best way to connect anymore. But anyway, here we are, so until I decide to close it…

So Where Hope Begins is now out in the big wide world. Godspeed, my lovely. And yesterday was a little nuts. The nerves. The onslaught of notifications. The well wishes and fun comments, and feedback. All wonderful and totally mind blowing, not to mention a tad overwhelming. Oh and did I mention a Facebook LIVE…

Okay, so who wants to change the subject? Oh, that would be me.
SO…read any good books lately? What’s on your TBR pile? (And if anyone mentions a certain book that begins with an F, I may have to resort to a smack down).
This summer I read a ton. Tried to write a ton too but I think I read more. One of my favorites was Dani Pettrey’s Alaskan Courage Series. Can’t wait to read the third one. I started a book by British author Kate Atkinson – pretty good. Need to get back to it. Discovered a few new to me authors, which is always fun. Recently finished Julie Klassen’s The Tutor’s Daughter. Love Julie’s books.
Movies – didn’t have the best luck. I hated The Place Beyond The Pines, even though reviews raved over it. I thought Ryan Gosling looked like a douche the whole time and the plot was pretty boring. They could have done so much more with that story line. A couple other ones I couldn’t get my head around…one with Tom Cruise in it. I guess I’m just not into cloning. Olympus Has Fallen was all about blowing up the White House, but Gerard Butler was in it so who cares…The Call was just SO DUMB it should have been a comedy…and then 42. By far, the best movie we downloaded all summer. I can’t wait to see The Butler. Sounds like it’ll be another The Help. Must say, its release was timed perfectly with MLK events, right?
Next week I’ll be in Indy at the ACFW conference, which I can’t wait for. So I probably won’t be posting for a while. Actually after yesterday I wasn’t sure I’d ever blog again…sheesh.
And as I am sitting here writing this, I’m having major brain fog. Lack of sleep plus cold medication is doing a doozy on me, which is why I will not attempt to have any profound conversations today. If you do choose to leave a comment, please stick to the topic at hand. Which would be what books and/or movies you’ve read and enjoyed lately.
Have a great weekend!
