A few weeks ago, we were hit with one of those series of events where it felt like everything you’d worked for came to a crashing halt. We were hit on every front from health issues to financial fallout. All I wanted to do was fix it. I spent hours trying to figure out a […]
A Matter of Heart
I once heard someone say Mother’s Day should come with a trigger warning. This same person had a hard time going to church on Mother’s Day Sunday, explaining that for her the day was fraught with conflicting, complicated emotions she’d rather not have shoved in her face. If you can relate, this post is for […]
A Light in the Dark
Sometimes, there is so much brokenness in the world, it’s hard to see the light. I get overwhelmed by the sadness and heartbreak and downright evil in the world. Just this morning, I was notified that a young father of two in my circle succumbed to incurable brain cancer, while two weeks ago a 13 […]
Life Experiences in Story Form
I’ll be honest. Easter isn’t my favorite time of the year. It’s been over a decade since it happened, but the last Sunday we spent together as a family was Easter Sunday. Our daughter passed away the following Sunday morning. It’s harder for me when Easter comes closer to the anniversary of her death, but […]
Fools for Love
It’s April 1st, known to many as April Fools’ Day, day marked for many by pranks and mischief (or one that goes on as normal with little notice, ha ha!). Since I recently did a post on pranks for my third Sinclair Sisters book, I won’t do a repeat of that. Instead, let’s talk about […]
Am I Enough?
It’s a question I think we’ve all wrestled with at some point in our lives. Creatives (and I’ll be honest, that word makes me cringe a little, but I don’t think it’s unique to authors. I think it really does apply to everyone who creates in one way or another — up to and including […]
Relationship Resolutions
I’ve talked to a few people recently about what their 2022 was like and what they would like to be different in 2023. I’ve gotten some interesting answers. A lot of people faced financial challenges in 2022. Inflation and the cost of living have weighed heavy on many people. Some people have been discouraged by […]
Have a Blessed Christmas! (#ChristmasEve)
Tomorrow is Christmas Day around the world. I am honored and humbled to be the one posting a blog post today on InspyRomance. Little me! What should I write about? Let me count the many ways that I can say “Have a blessed Christmas!” For sure, Christians are really blessed. To begin with, God didn’t […]
Walking Together
I’m going to talk about something a little different today, and I hope you’ll come along with me for the conversation. Often, when something tragic happens, people pull together, care for each other, and walk with their neighbors through the trial. Until some of the people forget. Then the ones who haven’t forgotten- or who […]
A Thankful Week (#NationalBibleWeek #Thanksgiving)
Did you have a good Thanksgiving (if you’re in the USA)? Not only is this week Thanksgiving week, it’s also National Bible Week. I thought the combined week is appropriate because it’s a reminder that our Thanksgiving stems from God blessing us and that many of His blessings are recorded in His Word. What are […]
