Hey my sweet friends,Thank you for your kind notes. I promise I haven't fallen off the face of the earth. We are in the process of redoing my website to turn it into a blog, and all of my attention has been focused on that...

Forgive my week off. I took a much needed getaway which will be a little piece in our story. So, thank you for letting me go a week without posting anything. Right before I left, my friend and counselor, Ken Edwards came to speak to our Bible Study...

I was transplanting some rose bushes this morning. Don't know if they'll be too happy about it, but time will tell. Change is never fun. In fact, there are times it can be downright frustrating...

Since this is all about enjoying life, few things make me happier or feel more alive than going to the circus...

Recent Interview with Nora St. Laurent of Finding Hope Through Fiction:Out of all the hats that you have worn over the years, public speaker, author, singer, song writer etc; what hat has been the most rewarding for you and the most fulfilling?I’ve been teaching now for ten years. ...

Last week I posted a blog on southernauthors.blogspot.com about "Why I wanted to go on the Amazing Race." Actually a couple of years ago me and my baby brother did send in an audition video but we weren't accepted...
