Today was simply beautiful. As in, that's a big reason I didn't blog earlier. I had some outside work that needed done, and with the sun shinning brightly, the world warm around me, and the sky blue, I headed outside. I can't remember another February when we've ever had this warm and sunny weather in … Continue reading February Campfire

Thank You
Figuring out how to blog on WordPress has been a stretching experience, and I'm still in the middle of the learning process. Today is a lovely frost-covered November experience that will probably find me curled up with a mug of tea, Christmas music, a candle burning, and the Wordpress for Dummies book. (Not even kidding, folks.) … Continue reading Thank You
The {Beautiful} Rising Sun
One of the things I look forward to at the beginning of each month is getting to read the fourth Proverbs. See, I read the "proverb of the day" each morning, and have for nearly two years now. And, although I can obviously read any of the Proverbs any time I want, when the corresponding … Continue reading The {Beautiful} Rising Sun
To-Do Lists, Monday Mornings, and Happiness.
A delightful "Happy Monday!" to y'all. This busy week dawned for me after a restless night where I kept waking up, checking the clock, and willing the morning to arrive so I could start on my mile-long list of things to do. I'm not even quite sure how I'll be able to organize my time to … Continue reading To-Do Lists, Monday Mornings, and Happiness.
Update on my Adopted Dad
Happy Saturday Morning, y'all! I decided to post today so I could give a quick update on my adopted dad. If you've been following Noveltea for a couple of months you're probably aware that he had a heart attack and then open-heart surgery at the end of June. I was blessed to be able to spend nearly four weeks with them … Continue reading Update on my Adopted Dad
Writing Buddy
I call her my little cupcake. And my blogging buddy. And my writing buddy. Her real name is Hosanna, but she rarely gets called that by me. (We won't go into the dozens of other nicknames I have for her.) We grew up on opposite sides of the world, which was perfect because that meant she … Continue reading Writing Buddy
Life Update: Writing and Flying and Keyboards
This morning I'm sitting at the airport, getting ready to fly home. This last week has seen many happy strides forward when it comes to the second book in the Echoes trilogy, which is (for now) titled City of Outcasts. (Such a lovely moniker, you know.) This week I read through the first book in … Continue reading Life Update: Writing and Flying and Keyboards
Commitment: Making it Happen
One thing I've discovered is that after I've decided and committed to do something, it's so much easier to accomplish. All the guess work is taken out, and instead of wasting time thinking "should I or shouldn't I do this?" the brain power goes to figuring out the best way to get it done.For instance: … Continue reading Commitment: Making it Happen
Workplace Musings
Last night I was a bit late getting home from work, and I had what felt like a gigantically messy room to clean up, clothes to wash, packing to be done from my last trip, and everything to pack for my next trip. I even snapped a picture of my office/room before starting so I … Continue reading Workplace Musings
A Little Life Update
After only being home for one night in nearly four weeks (I was gone from June 28th until July 24th), it was delightful to arrive back late Sunday afternoon. I promptly kidnapped my best friend's (and neighbor) little girl, who quite happily still remembered and loved me. We had fun with books and stuffed animals, … Continue reading A Little Life Update
