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.
Super Bowl God Sized Dreams

On (un)becoming

You can learn a lot from an (in)courager

What I Wore
Happy Wednesday. People are always asking about What I Wore, so I thought I'd make an image that sums it up. What do you think? I so can't take any credit for it. Lindsey started it. You need to jump over to her place today and stop by her shop while you are there. So...
