Please forgive the lateness of this posting! Website problems. 🙂 Norma Gail has been such a blessing to get to know over these past few years through writing connections online, though we’ve yet to meet in person! Norma is a New Mexico writer, so though I don’t live there anymore, we’ve connected through our stories […]

A Rock in the Midst of Change
 I tend to like change. Until it actually happens.  My sister is more realistic. She doesn’t like change, and she knows it. I’m a bit more all over the place. When a potential life change looms on the horizon, I get excited—perhaps it’s the latent pioneer girl in me. Then it actually hits: […]
Out of the Ruins: Interview with Author Karen Barnett
 Would you like to travel back in time to the 1906 San Francisco earthquake? Well, maybe not in real life, but how about in the pages of a book?    Author Karen Barnett‘s second historical novel, Out of the Ruins, released just this spring (following her very successful 1920s suspense Mistaken), and […]

My sister and I just watched Finding Nemo for the, ahem, first time. (I know, I know, it’s a classic, please don’t hate us.)  But we really enjoyed it, and last night after we finished it, my sister said to me, “It’s kind of like a Prodigal Son/parallel to Jesus story, you know?”  […]

(Check out and “like” our Facebook page here!) But it wasn’t until this winter that I […]
On Columbus Day
Hello, friends. I’m generally only going to be posting on Tuesdays now as a regular thing. But today, I wanted to just re-share a couple of posts from years back, both sharing a little bit different perspective on Columbus Day than many of us have. Some of you may have read and watched these in […]
Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee
Lori Benton, interviewed here a couple of weeks ago, first told me about the movie Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee. We share a heart for Native peoples and their often untold history, so I knew it would be a worthwhile watch, though I didn’t expect an easy one. I also wanted to see another […]
October Gifts
I’ve still been reading Ann Voskamp’s One Thousand Gifts a bit at a time, trying to absorb it. It strikes me as a little like dark chocolate—I can only take a bit at a time, savoring and trying to grasp the richness, both of her prose and of the ideas therein. She does rather make […]
