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.
You can learn a lot from an (in)courager
I am honored to part of (in)courage. They have great big huge hearts filled up with all kinds of love for Jesus. It overflows onto everyone who 'walks' into the Beach House. Today I am putting my Florida girl feet up on the coffee table at (in)courage and sharing 10...

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

(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...
