Keeping it Real...Welcome! No matter how you found this, God knew you'd be here today. May you absorb the message He has for you. In 2011 I shared through my writing, today I've learned there is more to me than just writing. I have the energy and passion to share with others. Sometimes through Facebook live and others with my blog and most importantly, I've learned my passion to cook and bake is a vessel to share my writing and live presentations, while glorifying God in the process. I just needed to let go, and follow His lead.

Inspiration to Write - part IIThanks for joining me for this blog series - inspiration to write. Over the next week or so I will share something or someone that is an inspiration to me and my writing. While yesterday was a general "you", today's inspiration is a bit more personal.
As I travel to Oswego during the week I pass these trees with orange ribbon tied to them. To the average passer-by, you might think this is a tree marked to be "cut" or "removed" yet it's significance is greater than imminet death by chainsaw - it is a ribbon of remembrance. Each year this family changes the orange ribbon hugging their trees - one on either side of the road as a way of remembering my sister Heidi Allen. I might start my drive with errands or random thoughts and then I see these two orange ribbons witnessing the love and hope for Heidi. Simple ribbons used to show a family's hope, encouragement and love for a missing teen and her family. I write because of people like this - their hope is my inspiration. Thank you for caring and sharing! These are only two photographs yet I know I've seen other ribbons on trees, buttons and jackets throughout the years - thank you for remembering my sister! Continue to pray she comes home! God hears our prayers. Inpiration to Write 1. YOU - my encouragers, supporters and prayer partners 2. My Community - orange ribbons of remembrance 3. ??? Read tomorrow's blog to find out Yesterday's Writing Accomplishment: Reread chapter 6, puttered on chapter 7 revisions - traveled to take photographs to be included in this blog series. Today's Writing Goal: Finally finish chapter 7 and have it emailed before closing my eyes for the evening. Download photos, crop and save for use in future blogs. Tomorrow's Writing Goal: Start chapter 8 revisions - hmm...could I finish before Sunday and meet my goal for the week? That is the question. |
