Creative Living
This is a book about the Creative Life. Duh. Well, that’s what the title says. Life of creativity. The title might change so be on your toes! (Grinning!) What’s your first thought? Is this book about an artist? A painter of portraits or still life—even abstract? A...
Psalm 91 – The Sound
Started this on April 26, 2025. Maybe I’ll make it through the entire psalm! Well, actually before that. I knew that God had asked me to read it every morning as I paced the floor. Paced and prayed. So on that Saturday, I was pacing and praying Psalm 91. Reading it...
“It doesn't have to be perfec!”
A grandson used to say that, "It doesn't have to be perfec" when he and I were coloring together. He was four maybe? I used to think that, since I have no kids at home any longer and my Dearly Beloved is gone on the road most of the time, that I had to fill each and...

Struggling to know what to write …
I want to write. Today. Something. I am struggling to find my way after publishing Resurrected. I have a stack of books beside me: A Grief Observed by C. S. Lewis, That Hideous Strength by C. S. Lewis, and The Ancient Book of Enoch … by Enoch … and Ken Johnson, Th.D...
Shopify Short Study
A couple of months ago, a reader texted me with a few pictures of her order. Yay! Hopefully another satisfied reader. Always happy to hear how their order went. She’d ordered books. She got black beads from Oriental Express. We laughed. Kinda. How does something like...
A New Plan
Finally. I have had these notes since August 6, 2024. There have honestly been other things to do. As an independent author, I get to create an author business plan, market, write, clean up my office, clean up my website, publish my books, republish them when Apple...
Breakthrough
This has been bugging me for some time—maybe months. How do I sell books, increase income to support the business and pay bills, promote myself to sell those books, get my books out there? And all the while lifting up the name of Jesus. How do I do that? I realized...
