Falling for Italy

Hubby and I have returned home from a spectacular tour of Italy.

The theme of this trip, I can't help but say it: I'm falling for Italy!

I can't limit my tales of this gorgeous county to one post. I'm devoting my November newsletter to our adventures and will tell more in a few blogs. This is a trip I'd take again in a heartbeat. Definitely. The people. The language. The food. The art. The history. Wow!!

While I'm doing the laundry and getting over jet lag I'll leave you with:

These photos are bringing tears of great memories. I can't wait to upload my own photos.

What place in Italy have you wanted to see?

The laundry will be done for next Tuesday's post.

Fabulous Friday Feature-Julie Lessman

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.

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 wonder...

One of my absolute favorite classes at ACFW this last year was the medical fiction class. That wasn't the real title, I can't remember what snazzy name the instructors gave it--BUT three stellar medical professionals, who are also Christian Fiction writers, presented great information then opened the time for questions. We students asked them all kinds of questions like what kind of poison would kill a ..., and tons of other questions. It was sooooo much fun, and informative. I asked Candace, who was one of those fabulous teachers, to join us and share how God has led her on her writing journey. Here is what she said: God Gave Me a Wake-up Fall The story won’t surprise folks who hav...
