New Year Changes

I love celebrating the new year cresting the midnight hour.

Tonight I'll drink lots of coffee and stay up with the family to celebrate. My son will set off his elaborate firework display he's been working on for months. Yes, safety is paramount.

This is so exciting.

Starting a new year is like opening a gift. Yah never know what is going to happen. I always hope for something amazing.

This year is no different.

I have my 2015 wish list. Do you? 

Here is your assignment: think about what you would like to have for your one-word for this year. I have mine...and the post to go with it, inspired by someone special. I'll post this next week.

ALSO--I'll make certificates again this year for any of you who want to play along.

We'll start the year with a book give away. I have so many wonderful books to share, so plan to stop by and enter. Tell your friends so we can get these books into readers hands.

AND I have some good news to share. My writing has grown deeper, stronger, and my desire to focus in this area has grown. I am falling into a delightful comfort zone, like having a cup of cocoa and sitting by a crackling fire each time I write on these winter days. Or a cool glass of iced tea sitting on a beach on summer days. 

To devote the necessary time to these works, I am changing my posting schedule for this blog. You have seen how faithful I am. My dedication will not change. I will continue to have weekend guests-see the schedule to the right to know who I've already scheduled and when they are coming. My personal post will be scheduled for Tuesdays. Check out the top of my blog. See? I've modified it to show you.

I am so excited for 2015 and what God has for all of us. 

May your new year be immersed in blessings. I'm praying for you.

So, as this year draws to an close, how can I pray for you?

Today I welcome  Laura Frantz, a gracious lady showing the love of Christ with her smile. Enter to win Laura's  September 2013 release, Love's Awakening Scroll to the end of the post to see how to enter. I was introduced to Laura at an ACFW conference by my a fellow Writer's Alley Cat writer. Immediately I saw Laura's gracious spirit. It's been about two years since and I thought of that Christlike spirit when I noticed her new book release. I asked Laura to share with us the journey God has led her on for her writing career. Of course she graciously agreed. Here is what she said: You Were Born For Nothing Less Thanks so much for having me here, Mary. It’s always a joy to revisit my writing journey as it stays fresh and is always humbling to think how God led me to this place.  In a nutshell… I’ve written stories – historical fiction only – since I was seven years old. I think I came into the world hardwired to write. I didn’t

Today I welcome a well-known authoress, one with a bubbly, energetic personality  and has become a sweet friend:  Julie Lessman .   Enter to win an autographed copy of one of Julie's books! see below I met Julie through ACFW. She taught the first class I attended at ACFW. Her husband graciously showed, enduring Julie's stories. She taught how to write Christian Romance. We laughed and learned so much that night.  I asked her to share her writing journey with us. Here is what she wrote: My Journey As a Christian Romance Writer … My journey as a romance author actually came LONG before my journey with God. It happened the moment I read Gone With the Wind at the age of twelve. The instant that Scarlett seared Rhett with a look on the winding staircase of Twelve Oaks, I was hooked, and my “romance-writing career” began with a 150-page, single-spaced ms. entitled When Tomorrow C

Mary here.     I asked Terri: how has God led  you on your writing journey? Here is what she said:   Dreams God Has for Me Thank you Mary for hosting me today. When America was attacked in September 2011, the world changed. I remember my heart hurt for those who had suffered and died. I thought how could my writing ever mean anything to anyone when there were more important issues going on in the world.  I had been writing and trying to publish for eight years at that point and was getting discouraged. I had begun to think maybe it was time to let the dream of publishing go.  A few weeks after 9/11 my women’s Bible study went for a weekend retreat to the beach. The theme of the retreat was Dream Big. Throughout the weekend I kept wondering what God would want me to dream
