Love… One Sip At A Time // A Valentine Tea Party
I started hosting tea parties in an older home propped as pretty as you please on the corner of a quiet street. A family of four in a two-bedroom, one-bath home made for a tight fit, and tea parties felt downright snug, but no one would change a thing. Some teas were scripture-based, and others celebrated holidays, but every time, the room filled with the scent of scones, floral tea, and...
A Work in Progress
✔ Nourished physically by tea and banana nut bread ✔ Nourished spiritually by a devotion reading from Jesus Calling ✔ A room saturated in prayer ✔ God’s presence welcomed ✔ Paper and pens at His beck and call It’s a work in progress. My writer’s group, i.e., 4 Corners, is currently working on at least one Christmas e-publication for 2011 and we couldn’t be more...
Inspiration And A Funky-Doo!
Meet my latest find from Barnes & Noble. As always, it was the cover that caught my eye—the texture, bright pinks, tulips, sunny yellow, and a funky-doo—but the real delight lies within the 160 pages. Each page invites inspiration through a collage of color, timely advice from female entrepreneurs, helpful tips in the side bars, fun layouts, and jaw dropping photographs. If you’re...

My Friday Faves
It’s plural today—and for good reason. Both Brian and my favorite organizational guru friend will be proud of me as I get back on track with organizing my house. Okay, some would argue that I’ve never seen, heard, or even know what that track looks like, but the point is: I’m not giving up! Sage Cohen’s The Productive Writer (a must have for every writer!) +...
The Fruit (and Veggies!) of Friendship
In 24 hours… A friend drops off red-ripe tomatoes and a half-dozen ears of Silver Queen corn at the backdoor. Four friends gather with a slice of homemade coffee cake in hand to discuss writing, struggles, and victories. A friend from far away texts to say she’s praying for me. Friends from the past reunite for an evening of music, catching up, and a ton of laughter. My best...
