Hello, Dear Reader.
You may think I hover over my desk every week dreaming up ways to lure you to my website so I can sell you more stuff. Like, you know, books. Here is the more realistic scenario:
I sit in my rocking chair in the corner of our living room before dawn and think, “What would help (insert your name) today?”
It’s true I may not think of each of you by name. But you’d be surprised how many of your faces actually go through my mind as I write. I think about your lives, the struggles I know and the ones I only suspect because we all share the human experience.
And, I pray. That somehow these simple words will reach into your world and make some slight difference. That the act of writing for me and reading for you will help all of us figure things out a bit more and gain the strength we need for the day.
That’s pretty much it. The why of what I do. It’s to help the both of us. And, if I sell a few books to support my art along the way, that’s a lovely perk.
So, today, I wish you a Merry Little Christmas. And I do pray, fervently, that it won’t take a whole year for your troubles to be far away. (Even thought it’s a beautiful song in one of my favorite movies. )
Blessings.
You are an AMAZING person Kathy! I SOOOoooo enjoy your optimistic view and heart that so easily ‘tenderizes’ mine. THANK YOU for ‘virtually’ bringing sunshine AND sonshine into my day! Give your man a hug for me and again – THANK YOU for living your life with open-ness and tender-ness!
Blessings to you and yours in this season of a WONDERFUL CELEBRATION of our Savior’s birth!

Oh, thanks, Pat! You know me well enough to know I can be as much of a jerk as the next guy on any given day. But the Holy Spirit is kind to me 🙂 I’ll gladly hug my man and give him your regards. We love you guys!
I agree with Pat’s comments in every way. Your optimism and humor bring sunshine to my day. Reading your blog brings serendipity to my life.
Oh, Debra! I love that comment! Serendipity, indeed! We are in for a grand adventure this year, aren’t we?
