My delight comes from seeing my words sprout up around the internet like the blossoms of spring. Each time someone shares a link on Facebook I smile. A retweet on Twitter makes me giggle (because I get to say I was retweeted and it sounds funny). Seeing a post take off can be one of the best moments of my week. So I thank all of you that have shared, retweeted and reposted because you made my day a little brighter and filled my heart with all types of blooms. A few weeks ago I shared some information that I received during a #blogchat – a chat group held in Twitter. The tips were from bloggers to bloggers and that post was picked up by Readers Realm this week. Two different online magazines picked it up from Readers Realm. Christian Indie Authors and Blob Chatter Daily also tweeted the links. …Continue reading
Sharing Words of Reflections to Inspire and Encourage
Some weeks the world looks at my schedule and agrees to comply. This was not one of those weeks. Life and the world conspired to break me down and crush me under their weight.

This week my reflection took me over to Facebook where I reworked my …Continue reading

I think there may have been one day when the house was not filled with company for 10 hours – but the rest of the busy days have made that one day blurry. Things can get easily sidetracked when focus goes to another issue. …Continue reading
Growing My Purpose – Week of January 20 2012
My New Year pushed me to give my personal writing all of my focus. That meant stepping away from most of my clients and putting all of my energy into books, novels and blogs. I discovered that I am even more adept at procrastination than I ever imagined possible, but I am working on new habits that will help me break that tendency. I joined the wonderful writers over at The Great Blog Adventure this …Continue reading
From Surviving to Thriving – Finding Purpose in 2012
I had enough just surviving and determined it was the year for thriving. I would find my purpose and pursue it with boldness. 2011 slapped me around a little bit – first the tornadoes in April, then the new “accommodations” while we recovered from the tornadoes, then my mom getting sick and going in to Hospice right in the middle of the holidays. I could still feel some movement, but not enough to make anyone …Continue reading
