Commit your works to the Lord, and your thoughts will be established (Prov. 16:3). When I accepted my call to write for an Audience of One, I immersed myself in oceans of topics. I couldn’t swim fast enough to catch all inspirational waves. Ideas flowed, creativity flooded, and I wrote copious amounts of work. Writing…
If you have followed the story behind Knee Deep; A 9-month Whirlpool of Handwritten Letters to the Creator, you’ll know this is my most courageous work to publish. I included a Knee Deep excerpt in May and was somewhat relieved when I found out that instead of the anticipated May release, Knee Deep will be…
I’ve written FROG Blogs as lessons from a lily pad image. Yesterday I discovered literal frogs. I walked a lake trail to a tranquil spot to write. I stopped at a sitting space that turned out to be different than my anticipated quiet. I became aware of a loud siren that sounded like an ambulance….
Knee Deep: A 9-Month Whirlpool of Letters to the Creator will publish this month! In the book, I write a disclaimer about these handwritten letters to my Creator being freely written.

Peaceful waters from the lily pad! For this week’s FROG Blog, I share a treasure I have posted in my Martha & Mary Writing Studio. It’s been years since I found this and wish the source had credited its author. His or her literary gift reminds me that words written (or spoken) today impact tomorrow…
I announce my 2021 Word of the Year! ABUNDANCE. Last year, I chose DECIPHER to practice inner growth. The decipher premise stemmed from a need to check motive: my use of time, personal connections, spending and saving money, energy output etc. What motive manifested my habits? This year’s word is ABUNDANCE. I’m challenging myself to…
