I’ve been a goal setter as long as I can remember, and I truly believe in the power of written goals. Many times through the years I’d written down goals, and, without even consciously working on them, in time they were reached. Recently, I dug out a goal list from 2010. Out of […]

Things are going great and they’re only getting better
July 28, 2016 turned out to be quite the momentous day for me. There were two events going on that week where I potentially would be recognized for my work. One was in Las Vegas and the other in Chicago. John and I ended up taking our three youngest children (all over the age […]
CONTINUE READINGA Miracle in My Life
Miracles are all around us if we are open to seeing them. Here’s something that happened in my life this past May. Two years ago when Lent was approaching, I wanted to do something that required more effort on my part than just giving something up. So I decided to go to Mass one extra […]
CONTINUE READINGMaybe I’m Amazed
What came first, my fascination with Paul McCartney and Wings or The Beatles? I really can’t be sure. Since I was pretty young when the Beatles first took America by storm, my recollection of what got me turned onto their music was listening to my brother Rodney sing and play Paul McCartney songs on his guitar. All I […]
CONTINUE READINGThe other side of the microphone
As a journalist, I make a living interviewing people. So it was somewhat surreal for me to be the interviewee rather than the interviewer on Saturday, June 27, 2015. It was my honor to interviewed by Michelle Raley, who hosts an international call every Saturday where she interviews some of the top leaders in Enagic […]

Lent is a busy time for a Catholic newspaper, all sorts of events to cover. So I’ve been to my share of retreats, conferences and talks over the last six weeks covering them for The Compass newspaper. It’s always a trick to record what is going on, get interviews done, take photos and yet still […]
CONTINUE READINGInterview with Working Mother Amanda Lauer
I had the honor last week of being interviewed by Erin McCole Cupp, author of the biblical historical fiction ebook “Working Mother.” The book is available on Kindle through Amazon for only $.99! Here’s the synopsis: “With her husband disabled and out of work and her child in mortal danger, a mother must leave her family […]
CONTINUE READINGIt’s getting exciting now
Wow, a lot has happened since A World Such as Heaven Intended was published in October. There have been book signings (that was somewhat surreal), virtual interviews, a story in The Post-Crescent newspaper, a blurb in The Compass newspaper, a free Kindle version giveaway (2,100 books distributed in 72 hours, wow!), the book has hit […]
CONTINUE READINGInquiring Minds Want to Know
Usually I’m the one doing the interview, today the shoe’s on the other foot thanks to Erin McCole Cupp, author and blogger extraordinaire at Will Write For Tomato Pie. If you’ve been wanting to know a bit more about me and my novel, A World Such as Heaven Intended, here’s your chance… 7QT: INTERVIEW WITH […]
CONTINUE READINGToday’s the day I’ve been dreaming of for six years!
This is it! After six years of blood, sweat and tears my novel is out on Amazon today! It’s currently available on Kindle but will be out in paperback on Oct. 28. It’s so surreal to look at the page on Amazon that has my book on it. This is really one of the coolest […]
