June 15, 2023 By Karen Witemeyer

This week, my husband Wes and I are on a vacation/book trip that will eventually lead us to Deadwood, SD, but we started our trip this past weekend by spending a day and a half in Colorado Springs.

I know November seems far away, but I promise I've worked … [Read more...]

Exactly 40 years ago this spring in 1983, I graduated from Harding University in Searcy, Arkansas, which made speaking at this year's Bloom Conference this past weekend even more special. Talk about a come-full-circle moment. Author Serena Miller and I co-keynoted together and it was such a pleasure to meet her. Here are some glimpses from a very busy, but fun weekend . . .
