Yes, there is always a reason. A plan. Whether we believe or not, God has a plan. A direction. I follow a guy, a wood sculptor, Ed Elliott, on Instagram. His work caught my eye. He sculps angels. Out of wood. His works speak to me and I'm sure so many others. Like...
I'm not a prophet. Not by any long stretch. But a couple days ago, I woke to the cat purring right next to my ear. Not too unusual, but it adds to everything else this week. It all adds up. She was saying, “Wake up!” I immediately “heard” the...

I just finished preparing our taxes for the dreaded tax appointment, here in the US. This year it was easier–just because I dropped some cash into Xero accounting software for my publishing business. Took time to learn, but very much worth it when it came to...
Yes. I’m trying to blog again. But I could not access my Scrivener Project titled Blog Posts. I love Scrivener (This is my affliate link, by the way! I earn a certain percentage, at no extra cost to you.). I write the posts in Scrivener, then copy and paste into...
