  • Another five start review for Courage of Fear.... blessed again, thanks Laurel-Rain

    September 24, 2009

    • I read "Courage of Fear" very quickly during my recent vacation, and as I turned to the final page, I had such mixed emotions that I thought about the characters, the events in the story, and wondered about "what might have been" for days afterward. And then I puzzled over the meaning in the events. The author takes us between the past and the present with style and grace, ...
  • You are just a gal. Everything in my world has purpose. Now finish your story.

    September 9, 2009

    • Yesterday here in California it was so hot. It has been this way for over a week now. It is not intolerable, but uncomfortable enough and we haven't even hit Santa Anna season yet.

  • Wild Fire... a simple act of kindness... now a media/cyber frenzy

    August 19, 2009

    • If you all read yesterday's blog, or are one of my friends on facebook, you realize the day I had yesterday. However powerful it may have been it was reflective and indeed sad. The events from my evening before, plus the fact that on that evening, as shawn my roommate put it, not only were we placed center in a tragic situation, our house was indeed the triage for everything that surrounded the ...
  • Dear Heavenly Father, watch over that child... stay with it and get the tissues--all true, my yesterday

    August 18, 2009

    • "Dear Heavenly Father, watch over this child..." My arms clasped more firm around her as my mind begged my Creator, "...for we both know too well what comes next." And it did. Yesterday I turned on my computer and I thought, "Now what? What should I write about today?" Don't get me wrong. It wasn't that I had no stories to tell. As I stated in a past blog--I am an ...
