First the darkness . . . then the waiting . . . then the dawn . . . May you embrace His story in a new way this Easter.
In Others’ Words: Going Dark
I’m “Going Dark” this week for a couple of reasons: It’s Spring Break for my daughter. I’m traveling — and Wi-Fi connection is intermittent at best. I’m still on deadline. So, I’ll see y’all next week.
In Others’ Words: Bite Your Tongue
I wanted to let someone have it last night. And I know that person wanted to say a few … um … special words to me too. But I didn’t. I could feel the words banging on the back of my clenched teeth. I could almost see them forming in a cloud above my head. But I knew once I …
In Others’ Words: Breathing
I took breathing for granted until I developed asthma. I had years of inhaling and exhaling without giving it a second thought — I mean, isn’t respiration supposed to be automatic? And then, within months of my family’s move to Colorado, suddenly my chest got tight when I worked out at the gym. No big deal, right? I didn’t have …
In Others’ Words: Fairy Tales
“Fairy tales can come true, it can happen to you … “ Anybody else love that song when it’s sung by Frank Sinatra? There’s a bit of a fairy tale thread woven into my upcoming release, Catch a Falling Star. And yes, I loved reading fairy tales when I was growing up. Cinderella was a favorite, of course, but I …

“Anxiety weighs down the heart, but a kind word cheers it up.” (Proverbs 12:25 NIV) “Kind words are like honey–sweet to the soul and healthy for the body.” (Proverbs 16:24 NLT) What echoes have I left in others’ lives? Have I left a sticky mark of kind words — a bit of verbal honey that encourages someone who wants to …

Whenever I think of Walt Disney, I think of Peter Pan and Tinker Bell and Cinderella and Snow White and happily-ever-afters and theme parks where you meet life-size characters and soar through the air on the Dumbo ride . . . you know, fun stuff! And then I read today’s quote and I thought, “Really? Walt Disney got kicked in …
In Others’ Words: Tomorrow and Today
Sometimes I wonder: Could I have done what Corrie ten Boom did? During World War II, she and her family were part of the Dutch underground — hiding, feeding and transporting Jews and other people hunted by the Nazi Gestapo out of the country. When her family was betrayed, they were separated and sent to concentration camps. Corrie and her …
In Others’ Words: Along the Path
Disclaimer: I stole today’s quote. Sort of. Let me explain. Sometimes I pick my quote for the day from my backlog of quotes. Sometimes none of those quotes “reverb” with me, and so I go skimming through the Internet topically or maybe I do a search of a particular person . . . You get the idea. Last night I …
HaPpY dAnCiNg: Signing on the dotted line
With thanks to my husband, Rob, for taking (and re-taking) the photo … that’s a very happy me, after I signed my contract with Howard Books for a third novel! Details: It’s titled Take Another Look. It releases May 2014. And yes, it’s an inspirational contemporary romance set in Colorado. I’m thrilled to continue my partnership with Howard Books — …
