Merry Christmas! How was 2018 for you? My family and I had both good and bad times, but I’m choosing to focus on the good. Do y’all like to travel? My kids and I seem to have inherited the travel bug. My husband wasn’t born with this urge to go on voyages, but we cajoled him into crossing the Atlantic and taking us to Ireland. He did really well, despite the fact that one night I fell on a bumpy sidewalk in the small Irish town of Dingle, and then we found out that a mini-tornado had knocked a tree onto our house back home in Mississippi. We were blessed that our neighbors and friends took care of covering the hole in our roof and letting Service Pro inside to dry our home. Actually, the blessings of our trip were many. We didn’t hate each other at the end of the two weeks! (Sometimes we fuss a little on vacations…) The weather was great! Only one day of rain in Ireland is pretty much a miracle. Everything was beautiful! If you know me a little, you might guess that my favorite part was seeing their rocky beaches! And yes, I’m planning a novel where my characters will go to Ireland. The heroine might even fall like I did, ha! What did you do this year? Can I pray about anything for you?
To celebrate the holidays, the Kindle version of my novel Tackling the Fields is free on Amazon right now!

This has been a good and hard year. Thank God for the good and bad. We lost my father-in-law December 30 if last year. Then in November, my mother also went to be with Jesus. Christmas is on standby as I just got out of the hospital. Am waiting for a kidney transplant. So thankful for God's faithfulness even in the rough times.

Hi Cristina! Yes, we were blessed to have our home still standing! Hurricanes are so bad. And two in one year! Where are you? We've had them here but not two in a year. I'm praying right ow for your job and your healing in heart. I will try to take your advice, too.
