I'm here...

Tuesday March 8, 2011

Just wanted to let you all know I'm here. I've been away at a wonderful writers conference and came back refreshed and inspired.

I learned so much, met some great people, got some good news, and came home with work to do!

There are blog posts bouncing around in my head, but there's no time to write them right now. I'm editing a book and have days to get it finished, so I need to get back to work...

Just wanted to say hi, hope all is well, and I shall return -- soon!

This Week's Blessings: Friday's Fave Five

Friday February 26, 2010

Can you name five blessings from your week? Susanne from Living to Tell the Story hosts Friday’s Fave Five each week. Jump over and see her if you’d like to join in!

Here are my faves from this week.

1. A mother’s tale – I started writing a novel this past November, and it has pretty much sat dormant since then. It’s a mother’s tale, so it’s dear to my heart. Next week I’ll be attending a writers conference and I’m taking the manuscript with me for critique. So I dug it out this week and revisited it, and it still brings a lump to my throat. Who knows if it will affect anyone else that way or not, but I do love telling it.

2. An author visit – One of my favorite Christian authors, Davis Bunn, visited our school this week. He taught several writing seminars and had lunch with us, and it was a great day. He’s such a great writer with a humble heart, and is so willing to lend his expertise to help others!

3. A college visit – One of my sons is visiting a university this weekend as part of a scholarship competition. I’m praying for him and excited for him!

4. A gathering of friends – At the writers conference this week, I get to connect with a bunch of writer friends who share my love for words and the Word. I’ve been thinking about it all week, and I can’t wait!

5. A bouquet of encouragement – Comments are so encouraging! I love reading my readers’ comments and hearing from friends I work with who visit my blog as well. One of my school friends who has signed up for my Monday newsletter said the other day, “I just love what you send on Mondays. It’s so encouraging and just what I need to hear.” Who cares about numbers when you hear that something you wrote encouraged someone? What a blessing! Thanks for encouraging words, friends.

Now it’s your turn – share your blessings with us.

Have a great weekend!
