Everything started here
I started writing on a blog called 29 Lincoln Avenue sixteen years ago. The name for my first blog came from the street address of the home I grew up in a small town in Southern Indiana. I loved the idea of inviting you into my “blog home” every week.
It was through learning to write and create content there (and then here) that I discovered my love for words and my voice as a writer. When I started, Twitter and Facebook were the rage and blogging found a unique place that would be writers (like me) were able to practice publishing more than a handful of words at at time.
Through blogging I started writing books. I am eternally grateful for that opportunity to put something more of my heart in the hands of those who are bookish by nature.
But even with Instagram, youTube, and every other social media option out there—I still love to add a few words here.
And I suspect I always will.
What I Wore

Just Click Away

Making Peace When You Just Can’t Fix It
Last week started with me dropping a dozen eggs on the cold tile floor of my kitchen. The rest of the week pretty much followed suit. And if I'm being entirely honest, I felt just as broken. I had planned on this being a tough week. My daughter was scheduled for a...

Endurance and Not Losing Heart
Endurance is not losing heart. It happens to be my word for 2016. I'd like to choose another on days like today. When the doctor orders two big tests you wish like crazy you could do it for her. Oh what he is working in her heart and mine. "...we celebrate in seasons...

What I Wore
Happy Wednesday! I have posted the past couple of weeks of What I Wore on Instagram because life has been crazy! I'm blaming the book release on that. And also teaching school and the driving back and forth to all the places. This post should be subtitled, "Boots are...
