Leftovers and more words

Yeeesss. I almost petered out…but I didn’t! I got in my 3,000 words yesterday as well, and I am having the most fun time describing this temple in Ethrill. I’m probably going to end up cutting most of this description, but it is rather essential for me to know all the inner workings of thisContinueContinue reading “Leftovers and more words”

Courage

Oh my goodness. What a crazy month. Besides having two straight weeks of company (which, don’t get me wrong, was great fun and I wouldn’t trade for the world!), I also accepted a volunteer position on the ACFW VA board of directors to be social media coordinator.

Besides, I’m sure you are hoping I stop rambling at SOME point. We allContinueContinue reading “Redeeming the Time Part 4: Living Up to Expectations”

Weariness and Breaking the Rules

It has been  long couple months of travel. From May 25 to date, I have traveled to Oklahoma, Florida, Kansas, New York, Minnesota, and Cleveland and have another trip to Orlando scheduled in 12 days. Needless to say, I am beginning to feel a little exhausted. Today, especially, having worked 23 hours in the last twoContinueContinue reading “Weariness and Breaking the Rules”
