I haven't blogged in so long that I almost forgot where this blog page is! Nevertheless, much has happened since I wrote last. I am now author of three books: HOODLESS KLAN, FINDING HUMOR IN GRIEF, AND BEAUTY FOR ASHES. The last two detail my journey through grief to a place of spiritual healing, but also a place where I'm open to new relationships and experiences.

At this moment, I am a ghostwriter for eleven authors who have compelling stories to share, but need some help finding the right words to express their thoughts. I thank God daily for the gift of words. As a matter of fact, God is in all eleven books! It's like being a midwife for someone delivering a baby. I feel so much pride and joy as authors publish and go forth selling books and competing in writing competitions.

My next book, when my calendar is less busy, will be to write about turning a school around by changing the culture. When the adults are nurtured and respected for their dedication to teaching and learning, the children perform well. Sounds simple, but there is much more to making this happen.

I intend to blog more often, so I figure if I post this sentence, I'll hold myself accountable.
