Did you know that every fourth Sunday in July is National Parents’ Day in the USA? Well, I didn’t either. I knew about Grandparents’ Day (the Sunday after Labor Day) and Children’s Day (second Sunday in June). Of course, we all know when Mother’s Day and Father’s Day are (yes, every day is Mother’s Day […]
National Cake Decorating Day (and #Giveaway)
Did you know that October 10 is National Cake Decorating Day in the USA? Immediately my thoughts went to Diego’s cupcakes in Know You More, book 1 in my Savannah Sweethearts series. Perhaps cupcakes are not all that Diego knows to make, but he is known for them in his circle of friends at Riverside […]

Ready for the Beach? (And a Free eBook)

Herein is Love… (and #Giveaway)
Suddenly, it’s February. Valentine’s Day is almost here. So I felt like I need to talk about…LOVE!

Merry Christmas!
“For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord” (Luke 2:11, KJV). Can you believe it’s December? I don’t know about you, but I heard that some early birds have already put up all their Christmas decorations and then some, turning their homes into winter […]
Is Anything Stopping You from Succeeding?
“I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 3:14, KJV). Christians, do you know what your calling in life is? Are you in the middle of experiencing your calling? Or are you still waiting for God to show your His purpose and plan for your […]
Layers of Paint
Do you like art? What types of art do you like? Do you prefer modern art or classical paintings? Watercolor, acrylic, pencil, or another medium? How about oil pastels?
