About this time of year, many of us are thinking how we haven’t done so well with what we hoped or intended for the shiny new year! I didn’t make New Year’s Resolutions, but I did set some intentions. God also gave me a word for the year. This year’s is “discipline”. LOL, I’ve flunked […]
Memories of Snow + #Giveaway
Now that my family and I live in the Texas Hill Country, I’ve been told that seeing snow here is a rare occurrence. I have, however, enjoyed seeing snow pictures that friends on Facebook have been posting. I admit to not being a huge fan of cold weather, but I do miss the photographic opportunities. […]

Those legs were a recurring theme in a romance I read recently! Women […]

What Resolutions?

Blank Pages Waiting to Be Filled
It’s no secret that 2018 was challenging for me. So I was especially excited to ring in a new year. There’s nothing quite like a fresh start. This year I sat down in my living room super early on New Year’s Day and set goals for various aspects of my life. I dearly love the […]
