Today marks the 14th anniversary of my father’s passing. To be honest, I didn’t think a lot about it today. But then the melancholy hit this evening – the sadness of what could have been; what I’d always hoped for; what never came to pass.
Tonight, in honor of my dad, …

I had a big revelation last night. Huge!
I have the opportunity to submit a Miracle Journal book proposal to Hay House Publishing – the biggest name in personal development books – that will be reviewed by the CEO of the company. As a writer without an agent, that’s practically unheard of in the publishing …

I made it. Yesterday is over. I’m grateful for all the support and love I’ve received from everyone. It’s a reminder to me – in the past I wouldn’t usually say anything, so I wouldn’t get any support. Just goes to show what happens when I let myself be vulnerable – amazing angels show up …

This morning when I awoke, it …

My dad has been on my mind and in my conversation a lot over the last several weeks. That is usually a signal that another “divine opportunity for healing” is right around the corner. Oh joy.

Over the weekend I did something brand new – I shot a gun for the first time!
In my continuing odyssey of super-cool things that the newspaper has sent me to do, I took a gun safety class that included a session at the firing range on Saturday.

Today I got an email from my dear friend Sheila that called me out on my recent use of the word “heartbreak” and “heartbroken.”
