What AI Taught Me About Myself
On Thanksgiving, there was an ad during one of the football games about ChatGPT. On a whim, I decided to download it and see how it perceived my current writing project. It was a WILD experience seeing my characters shown back to me in a way that was like taking a personality test for them.…

“For Purple Mountains Majesty…”
Last weekend, I had the honor of going to my favorite area of Colorado for the 5th time. This was my third time going for a women’s conference, and it seems as though every time I go for a conference, I fall more in love with the area. Obviously, I love visiting, but something about…

The Memories We Leave Behind
Years ago, there was an older gentleman near my neighborhood who began going on nighttime walks with a dog that, to my eyes as I drove by at 40 miles per hour, seemed to be hobbling. One night as I drove by, I was shocked to discover the dog only had 3 legs. I’m not…

Deja Vu…
Today we had a family dinner. We try to have one about every month or so. I love when we have them on Sundays because Sundays were always the “family day” growing up. We would go to church in the morning and then the rest of the day was usually spent with just the four…

Bringing Joy (Or, How To Survive At A Higher Altitude)
This weekend I’m in Woodland Park, Colorado, at a women’s conference. Today is the last day, but now that I’m mostly over the altitude sickness, I decided to get a coffee at the beginning of the day. And then I wasn’t allowed in the auditorium because the cup doesn’t have a spill-proof lid. Whoops. So…

Sitting, Wishing, Waiting
It’s amazing what happens when I don’t blog for almost a whole week. It’s like a whole week of life happens. Last weekend, my friend Rachel sold her books at SantaCaliGon Days in Independence, Missouri, and I volunteered to be the main helper. It was one of the worst weekends to sell books weather-wise, but…

Bloganuary 29
Bloganuary Writing Prompt:What is something you learned recently? Well, I learned that apparently I can get over the 21-day “honeymoon phase” of a habit and keep it going for 29 days so there’s that. I also learned to crochet this past month. I learned that latch hook takes A LOT longer than I remember. I…

Bloganuary Writing Prompt:How do you show love? Oddly enough, this isn’t an easy answer… especially because “showing love” could mean anything from my own love language to how I show love to other people whose love language I happen to know (or can deduce based on what I know of them). So maybe we’ll answer…
