When “the end” is really only the beginning

January 5, 2016 By Tamera Alexander

Blessings in this New Year, everyone! I hope 2016 has started well for you, and that you’re still on the positive side of any resolutions you’ve made—if you’re a resolution-kind-of-gal.

A Writer’s Reasons to be Thankful

November 26, 2015 By Cara Putman

Today is Thanksgiving. A perfect time to stop and think about all of the reasons I'm grateful this year. There is so much I have to be thankful for. A wonderful husband. Four amazing kids. A house that more than meets our needs. A fulfilling job and the same for my husband. This year I signed a contract with my dream editor at my dream publisher...a long process, but another reason to be … [Read more...]
