I was mad at my husband. He had come home really tired and slightly cranky. We had agreed to go to an author event at the Barnes & Noble where I’d be having my author event. Mike was selfless enough to go with me as soon as he arrived home. But that’s not what I […]
I was reading each day’s post to my husband. These posts were very special to me. My publisher offered a 7-Day Marriage Challenge taken from my book. I signed up. Yes, I signed up for the marriage challenge that I wrote! Kind of funny, huh? As the challenges showed up in my inbox I read […]

When I found out from my publisher that they wanted me to have a promo video done for my book my first reaction was panic. I wish I could tell you that it was excitement but it wasn’t. It was panic. How am I going to do this? What do I say? Who’s going to […]
I learned something about marriage this week. Marriage and patience go hand in hand. Let me rephrase that, a solid marriage and patience go hand in hand. Before we move on, I’d like to write the definition of patient… Patient Adjective: able to accept or tolerate delays, problems, or suffering without becoming annoyed or anxious. […]
