As I was finishing up the edits on the 3rd book, Her Yankee Heart, Jason and I went back to the Monocacy Battlefield in Frederick, Maryland. (https://www.nps.gov/mono/index.htm) Our initial plan was to stop by the Best Farm. You can see it in the background. But due to the snow, we couldn’t get in. So, it … More A GLOBAL NEED!
It is so easy to get distracted. I look at the film side of things, and I want to start working on it again. But then God reminds me of my deadline. I need to get the books completed and released by, July 04, 2026. Now seriously, what are the odds of that happening in … More TO BE PRESENT!
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.

“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it.” John 1:5 (NLT) “The Life-Light blazed out of the darkness; the darkness couldn’t put it out.” John 1:5 (MSG) I remember the day well. I was all dressed up, my hair and make up done. I had on a really nice black shirt. But … More LIGHT THE WORLD!
It’s the last day of April 2025! Although I didn’t finish my three month goals from January-March, I did manage to get serious about getting organized. I will now get those goals accomplished within 4-6 weeks. I was frustrated to say the least. But instead of whining about what I couldn’t do, I started working … More NO TURNING BACK!
