I went silent with public journaling/blog posts, because I needed to redirect my focus. Earlier in 2022, my health was getting worse as I attempted to edit my second book manuscript in preparations for my editor to do her first round of edits. I thought I had prayed a lot. I know how to trustContinue reading “Nothing Else”

I want to thank every person who has showed up at an event, bought buy book, and prayed for me this past year. This has been a wild year with COVID, sickness, and beyond. I am excited to announce that I turned in my manuscript yesterday morning for book two to my editor. We willContinue reading “HAPPY ONE-YEAR BOOKAVERSARY”

The Fight Scavenger Hunt 1.1 From giving to building, my first blog scavenger hunt brings my past to my present. I am blessed with a tribe of people who have helped me battle and succeed along the way.

Since my last race—Aravaipa Running’s Merry Vertmas with 402.7 miles and 318,146 feet at a fifteen percent incline on the treadmill from December 1-25, 2020, in forty-one runs, I had been sporadic with little training runs. I’ve continued to workout with my clients at the dance studio and online for an average of five timesContinue reading “Reignited & Refueled”

“Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The Lord, the Lord Himself, is my strength and my defense; He has become my salvation” (Isaiah 12:2). After contemplating and measuring up the emergency from the murky crown cove shoreline in the San Diego Bay, I jumped into the water to swimContinue reading “Helpless & Loved”

If I collected all the things that go wrong or don’t work out in one or more places, I’d fill multiple canyons. I have found this book journey full of closed doors. On the positive side, there have been an array of open ones. I have found myself once again overwhelmed and frustrated. Why? GodContinue reading “My God Fights For Me”

I got to share the good news of my book making it on Target, Barnes & Noble, Books A Million, and Amazon with a fellow writer. I rambled on and appreciated seeing my book synopsis in languages like French, Russian, and Dutch. He asked me who published my book. I justified with going through IngramSparkContinue reading “Humbled and Glorified”
