I have had a love-hate relationship with thank you notes for most of my life – I loved the idea of them, but hated writing them. I remember the trials and tribulations that went with thank-you card writing after my Bat Mitzvah. There’s very little that a 12-year-old girl would rather do LESS than sit …

A love letter to my mom
Every once in a while my mom will pick up the phone to find me on the other end saying, “I owe you an apology.”
Her response is usually a stammering, “Oh….uh….okay……..?”
One such conversation happened a couple years ago – it was in the early days of The Miracle Journal, and things were opening …

A book proposal update
How is it possible that a whole WEEK has gone by since I’ve written? That just doesn’t seem right. And the truth is that things are likely to be a bit spotty this week as well because I’ve got a big deadline at work and I’m a bit behind.

The final assignment …

The book proposal
If you had told me four days ago that I was going to write this miracle, I would have told you that you were flippin’ crazy! And yet…it’s funny how life works.

How not winning is a win
A few weeks ago, I talked about a six-week class that I had decided to take with KC Baker, who helps “Unleash the brilliance of women’s voices.” The course started two weeks ago and so far it has been A-MA-ZING. I have met some incredible women and the community that we are creating is really …

The divine cuddle
This beautiful miracle – and important reminder – comes from reader Lisa:
Any parent who has ever had a toddler creep into their bed in the wee hours of the night know . . . there is little to no rest from that point on.
This was the case for my …

When grandparents come to visit
A quick note before I get to tonight’s guest post – I just ran into a woman who I know, but rarely see. I was so touched when she made a point to ask me how my book proposal going – she could only know about it through this Journal and Facebook. It reminded me …
