THE MEMOIRS OF SUMMER RAY

January 01, 2026! Happy New Year! I have a list of goals that I am already working on for the project. If you have followed along with my blogs, over the years I have talked about puzzle pieces. I actually started a new 1,000 piece puzzle. What was I thinking? But I took the challenge.

At times, I sit and stare at the puzzle pieces inside the box. I did get out all of the end pieces. But it is a jumbled mess otherwise. For a very long time, the project was just that – a jumbled mess. I had all these pieces in various places, but there was still no rhyme or reason to them all. I worked on both the books and the film side at the same time. Although I was making progress, I was having a hard time getting organized. The result, I was possibly slowing things down. Right now, I am working on getting organized. But I am not trying to do everything all at once. I slowed down to work on the books. Which I just had to actually fix. The back of volume 1’s paperback book cover had a one word typo. Yikes! Even after looking at it hundreds of times, it was by the grace of God that I saw the word “is,” when it needed to be, “and.” Volume 2’s manuscript had “FF” in a title, when it should have just been only one “F.” I get stretched to the max. I could have left them as is. But that isn’t giving the world our best. I want everything to be in excellent condition. I want to make sure the finishing touches are polished. Thankfully, I have moved onto the 3rd book “Her Yankee Heart.” It will be ready in a week or two.

So, I am making progress. The project as a whole is moving forward and that is a good thing. I am truly excited about 2026 and beyond. There has been a great deal of preparation, to get where the books and the film project needed to be, in order to start building. I feel we are in a very solid place…finally! Thank You, God! Yes! The work is hard and sometimes it does stretch me to my limits. But I am very happy with the progress.

Thank you so much for being a part of our Summer Ray universe. We continue to strive to share God’s light. But it also means to the best of our ability.

I wish you and yours a very blessed 2026!

Sincerely,

Juliana Love
