Skip This Spinning Class
Wish I knew what causes my ding dang vertigo. Drives me batty. Heard of it? The Tilt-a-Whirl from Hades. The hangover that isn’t. The devil’s last laugh. Yep, vertigo is wicked all right. The world spins topsy-turvy out of control with every movement of the head. Or even eyes. It’s like you just rolled off a ...
One Word Says It All
One of my fave places to praise Jesus A short time ago I visited a multi-ethnic Christian women’s event where several languages (besides English) were spoken. Because multiple interpreters were often speaking at once, it was occasionally chaotic, sometimes cacophonous, always interesting, and never more fun. Forbearance was abundant. Everyone there wore their patience and ...

Worthless Versus Priceless
I mop the sweat from my forehead with the already soggy sweatband on my wrist. Summer tennis has it’s downs. But it has its ups too – like fresh air, sunshine, much needed exercise, and that dear little buttercup over there by the net post one court over. Yep, growing in the middle of a ...
Walking in the Rain
Walking in the rain. Running in the rain. Crying in the rain. Sounds romantic, right? Ha. I’m sitting here dripping all over my computer chair in the aftermath of doing those very things and I can tell you it wasn’t fun at all. Yeah, I saw the clouds when I started out on my morning ...
Radical Makeover
My new book covers! So what do you think? Woo Hoo! Soooo exciting! These are the new covers for my two historical novels, The Distant Shore and Billowing Sails. My publisher felt it was time for an update and I think they give Emma-Lee, the main character of both books, a fresh new look. I ...
Becoming a Godly Goader
The first goaders The memory makes me smile now, but at the time I wanted to screech like a riled bobcat. When I was nine, my sister was two years older and light years girlier. She wore wrap-around skirts, red hair bows and shiny pink nail polish. I lived and breathed barefoot, wore ratty cut ...
