Blog postI’ve been feeling very nostalgic lately. My fist born was married two months ago, my middle will be entering her last year of college and my baby, his last year of middle school.
Crazy how time disappears.
I find myself staring at pictures of my children and I have trouble remembering them when they were younger. I think, “These are mine. I made them.” And then I say, “Who are they? How did they get to this place so quickly?” I can’t help but feel regret. Wishing I could turn -
Blog postThis song has been running through my head for the past week or so. We use to sing it every year at Mt. Gilead Church Camp. Replete with hand motions and dance moves.
Another reminder of the power of Flow:)
“He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, ‘From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.'” –John 7:38

Blog postThere’s too much water here in California. Feast or Famine. Drought or Flood. Seems to be little in between these days.
Dams are breaking and water is spilling over, threatening.
Oroville Dam Break 2-13-17
Water is powerful. Unhindered flow is unstoppable.
So the question I ponder today is…how do I focus my flow towards good, life-giving, power? How do I balance the days of flood with the inevitable dry thirst that is to come?

Blog postIt happens often. I’ll read about something on Facebook, and then I’ll come across the same topic in a book, only to then receive a blog post about it in my inbox. When this happens, I’ve learned to listen.
Pay attention. This might be important! Lately it’s been about finding “Your One Word.” It’s a practice of praying or meditating or reading scripture and finding a single word that rises above the rest. When said word rises, you are to focus on it, meditate on it, -
Blog postI’m not going to make any excuses as to why I haven’t been blogging.
I have none.
The truth is…I haven’t wanted to.
I’ve been writing. Quite a bit actually. But I’ve also been very insular. Independent. Alone. All things I am not proud of. Not the words I want them to chisel on my headstone, if you know what I mean. But I’ve just not felt like putting myself out here into the blogosphere.
I still don’t really feel like it.
But I do feel like something i -
Blog postI’m excited to announce the re-release of my first published novel, Dear Me, available on July 1st.
I’m so thankful to the wonderful team at Quoir for redesigning this book that was first released in 2005.
But I have to admit that I’m a little nervous about it.
I was in such a different space in life when I wrote it and I wonder how it will be received.
And because of this I feel it necessary, or at least beneficial, to explain a little bit -
Blog postIt seems like there’s a sequel to everything. Every book. Every movie. Every television show. The market demands them. We invest our time reading or watching a story. We get engaged and excited or enraged at the characters, the plots, the themes, and then it’s over. Two hours, 12 episodes, two hundred and fifty pages, […]

Blog postAfter 5 long months, receiving and recuperating from 3 surgeries on a very stubborn, torn and frozen shoulder, I am finally able and excited to get back on track sharing my words with you.
And to celebrate, I’m releasing my first backstory ebook based on Laura Walton, Katy’s mother in-law from my novel, All I Once Held.
It’s available now from Amazon for only $1.
If you’ve read the novel, you will not want to miss this insight into one of the most -
Blog postI read a really cool book recently by Austin Kleon called, Show your Work!: 10 Ways to Share your Creativity And Get Discovered.
I have to admit, at first pass it feels a bit narcissistic. To assume that you care to see my process. What I’m reading, what I’m writing, what I’ve been thinking about. Kleon said in his book “But human beings are interested in other human beings and what other human beings do.” And I know this is true. I mean, look at the number -
Blog postThe New Year is a time for change.
I tend to spend the first weeks of January re-examining and resolving.
I like to set goals.
This year it has taken me a while to settle into what changes I want to implement in 2016. Usually I set out to do MORE. Produce more. Make more. Finish more.
But this year I’ve come to realize that I want to do less. Perhaps its because I’ve been in the slow and painful recovery process from shoulder surgery, unable to do man
