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.
Just Write Where You Are
Lately, showing up has been a great way to just write. Writing leads to more writing and I'm learning to be okay with not knowing where I'm going with my words. The funny thing is when I let the words fly -- they do, and I find myself trying to keep up. "The first...

Lately
Lately, writing has not come so easily. In fact, I've been wondering if I will ever write anything worth reading again. I've been worried a bit by my lack of draw to the keys. My words seem stuck in a place I'm not allowed to go. I often write in pictures. I see...
