Hope for us
I’m a bit behind on the A to Z Challenge and I could easily breeze through the alphabet with a photo and long cutline. Photo by Diane Weidenbenner. I want to be authentic in this challenge or why do it? Right? So, I wish to talk about hope. It’s the Easter season so if there is a time to believe in “hope,” this is it. I recently found out something hurtful and I’m having trouble getting over it. As tiny in the universe as I am, Christ has reaffirmed with me that I matter. When I was in college, I got in a debate with a friend of mine who…

IWSG: What do you love about the genre you write in most often?
I write in two different genres. I’m currently writing a fiction mystery but I confess that I haven’t worked on it in a while. I also enjoy writing a non-fiction blog but, again, I haven’t been adding to it as consistently as I’d like. I love writing mysteries because that’s my favorite genre to read.
