I just found out that the movie One Night with the King is out (click on the link to go to the trailer). I loved the book, Haddasah: One Night with the King, and posted a review of it on June 26th. So if you’re looking for a flick to see, you might check this one out. I know I …
Things I love
The ACFW online course this month is a mini-course in life coaching. What do we value and are we reinforcing that in the way we live. One of the exercises had me looking at what I do and matching it against what I love. So here’s a short list of the things I love: Connecting with old friends (Hi, Gideon). …
The Practice of Law
There are days I love being a practicing attorney. Yesterday was one of them. I spent the morning in a deposition with opposing counsel who have actually been pretty easy to work with. We have the larger portion of the case settled and will likely do the same with the rest of the case as well. After that concluded I …
A Night with Amy Tan
Sometimes I really don’t understand blogger. I had a perfectly lovely post written and ready to post, when POOF, it disappeared. I guess this is why I’m supposed to draft the posts in another program. SIGH! Anyway, tonight Eric and I took advantage of the fact we live in a city with a major Big 10 University (I’ll give you …

Wishing on Dandelions
Today I started reading Wishing on Dandelions, the latest fiction release by Mary DeMuth. At the ACFW conference I had the honor and privilege of learning under her during the continuing sessions. After a year of reading her posts to the ACFW list and on her blogs, her heart was as transparent in living color. Wishing on Dandelions picks up …
Lobbying the Family?
When I say lobbying the family, most of us think of asking the hubby for extra money for that killer dress at Ann Taylor. Or asking the wife for permission to get that really awesome gadget that will make your life complete. In Washington, D.C., it can mean something very different. This USAToday article highlights the reality that family members …
The Glory of Creation
This is where I’ve been. Our friends live 70 steps from the Gulf Beach. It was amazing! Abigail had the time of her life — short as it’s been — and her smile stretched from ear to ear most of the days we were there. We broke up our time at the beach with excursions to the Sunken Gardens, Aquariam, …
Making Memories
This weekend Abigail and I are in the St. Pete, Florida area, making some mother daughter memories. It’s hard to believe that my baby turned six a couple weeks ago. And in (what people assure me will seem like) the blink of an eye, she’ll be gone. So this weekend we are off to build memories. We’re staying with friends …
Violette Between
Violette Between is the latest book by author Alison Strobel. I am currently reading it and engaged from the first chapter. It tells the story of an artist who is no longer struggling, and lives life with joy. Because of a twist (that I won’t reveal), the novel goes back and forth between years. I didn’t pay enough attention to …
