Courtesy of Photobucket “You cannot forget if you would those golden kisses all over the cheeks of the meadow, queerly called dandelions.” ~Henry Ward Beecher I completely agree. I love dandelions, and I’ve never understood why they’re looked upon as eye sores. I think my brother had the right idea when he brought my mother a flower [...]

I’ve been weighing the benefits of using a journal vs. using a computer. First, let me say that I don’t believe there’s one right way. There are valid points and arguments for each side. Without a doubt, each has it’s own advantage. For the longest time, I’ve used the computer. I type approximately 2,483 words [...]

When I wrote this post about memoirs, I quoted Rachelle Gardner’s tweet/suggestion as to how to go about getting your memoir’s published. She’s also put together a list of her favorite memoirs right here, if you’re interested (you should be). I’m very interested in writing a memoir. I know the title of it and everything. [...]

Tweeted (is tweeted a word?) by literary agent, Rachelle Gardner, this morning: Pubtip: Don’t submit a memoir until you’ve read 20 good memoirs and 5 books on writing memoir–and learned from them. This is excellent advise, and one I am more than willing to work on. Problem is, I don’t know of any good memoirs. But this [...]

We Come, O Christ, to You We come, O Christ, to you, true Son of God and man: by whom all things consist, in whom all life began; In you alone we live and move, and have our being in your life. You are the Way to God, your blood our ransom paid; in [...]

Quotes are one of my favorite things. On weekends, I don’t usually have a lot of time to blog, so I resort to sharing some of my favorite quotes, along with a pretty picture (for good measure). Fair warning. Some will be cute, some will be hilarious … and some might make you hurl. [...]
