A Ten Year Celebration
By Paula Mowery On Wednesday, September 30th, my husband reminded me of a ten year anniversary. No, it wasn’t our wedding anniversary. That’s twenty-six years this year. Ten years ago on that Wednesday my husband had heart valve replacement surgery. His faulty valve...Facing My Own Meanness
By Peggy Trotter I own the world’s meanest cat. Seriously. When I try to pet her, she bites me. Every time. When I hold her, she has a biting, scratching fit. And I have to admit, a few weeks ago I was ready to send her to the river with my shotgun-wielding husband...

This weekend my community hosted our annual Garden Spot 5K walk/run. What I love most about this event is that I see many people I know, but with whom I rarely cross paths. It’s a time of fellowship and fun. I walk most days with my dogs, but I rarely push myself, so...The Benefits of Being Covered by Prayer

I’ve been working on my “Brand” and let me tell you, this is not an easy assignment. The task is to identify three words that will distinguish my writing from other writers. Three words or less that will give my audience an impression or expectation of how my stories...NOW AVAILABLE!
