Happy Father’s Day
My husband sure lightens my load and loves my girls. I’m grateful for the man he’s become since the day he decided to commit to fatherhood. He’s grown in infinite ways and it just goes to show that fatherhood in marriage isn’t something innate, it’s learning to choose love over and over again above allContinue reading “Happy Father’s Day”
World Building
World Building has returned. I was doing it and somehow I was no longer doing it. I got lost! I’m laughing at myself while I write this because writing novels is hard. Like I have no idea where I strayed from my world building. So this morning, I pinned, liked, and followed a bunch ofContinue reading “World Building”
Have a Little Faith
Even when no one else can see it but you, have a little faith. If you feel called to something, reach for it. Bogged down from the sheer size of what you’re called to? Break it down into steps. Make it fun! For example, add aesthetically pleasing things. If I needed to, I’d add BeeContinue reading “Have a Little Faith”
Self-Acceptance
I didn’t like very much about myself for a very long time. I was scared and insecure for a good chunk of my life. I didn’t find myself to be anything special until after I had my first child. My body was capable of great things! After that I slowly learned and failed and readContinue reading “Self-Acceptance”

It is an expression that according to Wikipedia means “‘true’ art is utterly independent of any and all social values and utilitarian function, be that didactic, moral, or political.

This post is for the writing and creative community. Ok… now I’m doing a ton of reading and trying to find what to fix next. phew! What’s frustrating is I feel like I’m at the point where it’s the little details that are hiding and left unattended they create a huuuuge plot hole. Imagine that!Continue reading “Writing Community”

Keep Going
Keep going! I’m telling you that you’re closer than you think. There was so many times where I pretty much gave up on life. I was turned off by hope. I was turned off by joy. I was just not happy. But when I finally made choice to prioritize myself, I slowly gained more joy,Continue reading “Keep Going”
