This is my post from last year, with an update as I turn 42. It’s amazing how much can change in a year, right? I kept 2011′s post yet updated the next line for 2012. I was born on Good Friday with tornado warnings. That sums up my personality more than you know. I now can say I’m in my 40′s but admit, it’s not a phrase I’m tempted to [...]

Saturday—Sleeping in, spending time with family, and oh right, Character Confession.             As you should know by now, I prefer to gain wisdom from the Bible. It’s also known as God’s Word.

I enjoy looking back and this year was busy. I thought I’d take today to reflect. This site I changed servers and switched the site up, creating a premium one through WordPress. This gave me the [...]

Thankfulness by Tiffany Colter When Julie originally said that she wanted people to share what they’re thankful for I had so many things. I’m entering the busy time of year for my business, my family is healthy, my husband is now 5 years cancer free and needs no further rechecks. And I love what I do. Today there is so much more. I own a small subsidy press that publishes [...]
