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.
Pin the Word {Psalm 65:11}

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...
Small Steps and God Sized Dreams
I have a friend named Holley who never fails to inspire me to live out the life God has created me for. She has the gift of encouragement and when I'm chatting with her, I sometimes believe I can do impossible things. Her passion is to share the same message with...
(in)RL 2013 – The Conference that Comes to You!
Remember this last year from (in)courage? (in)RL 2012 lovlies at my meet-up (in)RL was born out of two years spent listening to women in the comments at (in)courage craving local, real life community. Derived from the social media acronym “IRL” or “in real life,”...
Become.
Choosing a word for the year is like picking out an outfit to wear to a very special occasion. What if I pick the wrong one? What if I get there, and it doesn’t fit quite right? What if when I get into the light, my shoes don’t match my dress? What if no one notices?...
What I Wore…Is Back!
Happy 2013 friends! Have I said that already? Well, let's just say it again! Happy 2013! It feels like a major accomplishment to be here in this new year. Does that make any sense to anyone else but me? Maybe, I just need an extra cup of coffee today. Of course I do,...

On Taking Down Christmas and Starting the New Year with Hope.
My halls are still decked. The tree is in the same place I put it on November 30th. I have a few things to return. But I'm okay with it, really. I'm not in a rush to take down Christmas. It all came and went so quickly. Next year they won't be 13, 10, 6, or 3. So, if...
Can you spare a few minutes for feedback?
I see you there, hanging out by the Christmas tree in your new pj's sipping your 3rd cup of coffee. You have a million and ten things you should be doing but you aren't budging. Nope. You are committed to doing nothing today. The tree is not coming down. You are not...
What I Wore : Best of 2012
How is it possible that next Tuesday is Christmas and 2013 is 7 days after that? I am not sure where 2012 went, but if you are like me you are still writing 2011 on your checks. I'm thinking that next Wednesday I'll be lounging in all sorts of comfort wear and trying...
