We returned home from our epic five day drive from Florida yesterday. Twenty-six hours. TWENTY audio book chapters of Brandon Sanderson’s Oathbringers. 4 nutty bars, a bag of Cheetos and McDonalds… (I don’t know why I eat like a teenager when I travel. It’s like a Pavlovian response. I get in the car and think…road trip!
And now, some fun…
Hello from the beach!
Listen, I know a lot of you are cold. I’m praying for Texas and Minnesota and all the other cold, blizzardly places. Frankly, I love snow, and sitting by a cozy fire reading a book. But it can be dangerous…stay inside. Bundle up. Drink some cocoa. This too, shall pass.
Your ice cream cone is out there,
And now, for something different…or, What I Did During Covid 2020
So, you know how it went…last year was the crazy year.
The year we all found ourselves doing something different. Staying at home. Homeschooling, maybe. Reading more. Making foods we hadn’t tried. Mostly, living outside our comfort zone, right?
Me too.
So, I did something I’d ALWAYS wanted to do but never had time.
What’s your labor?
So, how’s your Labor Day going?
Here’s, it’s raining. There goes the BBQ.
Naw, we actually planned on working outside all day, so we’re doing a little fist bump.
What are we working on, you say?
Finally, our office addition is being built, and today, hubs installed in floor heat.
Weddings, hurricanes, and reviews, oh my!
So, did you hear about the devastating hurricane that hit IOWA this week?
You did not read that wrong. IOWA.
Hello, 2020.
This is a picture of the house across the street from my daughter’s home, in Ankeny, IA.
SCAAARY Stuff. (Pray for the people in Cedar Rapids,
What saying yes did!
So, we’ve been on a sort of adventure the past three weeks:
During the adventure of unpacking and painting my bedroom and bathroom, I got on Zoom and did an interview with a life coach for her upcoming Women of Unique Beauty summit.
(By the way, you can sign up for the summit HERE for free!)
She asked me the secret of my success.

Just because…
I wanted to say hi and make sure you were surviving winter!
I’ve been busy the last couple months. Went to Arizona to work on a project, then to Florida for my birthday, then to Austin for a business meeting and then up north with friends to say goodbye to the writing cabin.
All the pictures. All the excitement. All the exclamation points!
Hey friends,
This isn’t me. But it’s about how I feel after Christmas.
Ready for a nap.
Right?
So, are you digging yourself out of wrapping paper and pine needles?
But oh, what a fun season we had! All the kiddos home, and one even brought his beautiful fiancee!
I was a little nervous…
Happy November! I am a noodle of relief.
I had an ambitious writing year, I admit it. You know by now I’m a binge reader—when I like an author, I dive in and read ALL their books. And if they have a series, I devour the entire series at once.
And many of my readers are just like me…they don’t want to wait a year for the next book.
