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.

Where in the world is Grace?
In case you've wondered where Grace has been... I tossed out a desperate post about not measuring up. And God gave grace through your comments. I blew it at least 10x's with my kids. I had to ask for forgiveness. And God gave grace in their quick release of my...

Gratitude is a funny little thing. It doesn't take much to say thank you. I only had to open my eyes to the life happening around me. This is life. All piled up into almost 1,000 things that are all worth saying thank you over. He gives, He gives, He gives....
