How I wrote a book in less than 6 months

August 6, 2019.Reading time 10 minutes.

There have been several people who asked me about the writing process. I want you to share your story, I want you to know that although publishing takes work, it’s not impossible. I’m a very imperfect, normal person who self published a book. If I can do it, anyone can do it. This is just […]

Painting some Perspective

December 1, 2018.Reading time 6 minutes.

One of my hobbies is acrylic painting. I love to spend several hours, listening to music and watching a blank canvas transform into a glorious landscape. Grant it, it never looks quite as I pictured in my mind when I’m done, nor am I always completely satisfied with it, for that reason I do appreciate […]

Facing my Fear & Why I Moved to Texas

October 10, 2018.Reading time 12 minutes.

They say distance makes the heart grow fonder, and I found this true when the flight attendant got on the loudspeaker and said ‘we are beginning our final descent into Austin…’ I felt this really warm feeling – Of course, part of that warm feeling might have had something to do with the fever […]

Stewarding Time & Choosing Focus

September 20, 2018.Reading time 11 minutes.

As I write this, I am awaiting boarding for my flight to visit my family back on the East Coast. My flight was delayed 3 hours, so I’m sitting in a little airport cafe and despite the overpriced half finished coffee in front of me, I am so tired. So mentally, physically, and emotionally […]

When Your Best isn’t the Best

June 9, 2018.Reading time 12 minutes.

Have you ever been in a competition and got a place, or a grade in school that was less than what you had hoped for, and then someone tried to comfort you by saying “There, there, you did your best, and that’s what counts.” I know I have, and it’s a really common thing to say […]

5 Things to Ask Yourself if You’re Waiting on God.

May 26, 2018.Reading time 9 minutes.

I have been loving my little devotional book ‘Daily Power’ by Craig Groeschel. (He’s the one who made that YouVersion bible app in case you were wondering) This past week though… The devotions have been on waiting. If you have read my blog post ‘Waiting on God: The Ultimate excuse’ or had a couple […]

Success: Measured By a Day

January 27, 2018.Reading time 12 minutes.

This post was supposed to be about success, but getting into it I realized how abstract the word success is. It means different things to different people. To me, success means you stopped wishing, and started being proactive about making your dreams a reality. It means you wanted to do something so you did. Simply […]

Power of Prayer vs Power of God

January 13, 2018.Reading time 12 minutes.

I started this blog post over two weeks ago knowing exactly what to write. I soon found however, that my writings looked like the rantings of a prayer skeptic vs an analyzed argument. I’m not against prayer, but I have seen some people take it to a whole level that I can’t fully appreciate or […]
