What entices you?

May 19, 2020 By Tamera Alexander

I love books, and I think that's true of everyone here in the Inspired by Life and Fiction community. It's a primary commonality that brings us together. But the reasons behind why we purchase the books we each purchase vary as much as, well, as much as the myriad genres and sub-genres there are available to read! To that end, I'm coming to you today with one simple question. But first, some … [Read more...]

WHO do you follow on Instagram?

May 5, 2020 By Tamera Alexander

Are you on Instagram? Do you have favorite follows? I do. People or companies (which are really people, of course) whose posts I look forward to reading. Here are a few of said favs . . . More views from The Dogist. Because, well, we can! Are they not so cute! These images make really good responses via text, too, when you have no words but want to express an emotion. My daughter … [Read more...]

“Shelter in place”

March 17, 2020 By Tamera Alexander

"Shelter in place." "Lock down." "National Emergency." "The worst should be past us by June or July." These are crazy times we're living in, aren't they? And it would be easy to give into the sense of panic rising around us. But those who are clothed with Christ know better. He is our security and our firm anchor always. Always.
