Hope you all have had a great summer and fall. Mine was memorable on many levels–the reason I’ve been AWOL these past months. My first distraction was a two week trip to the UK, the second was my early retirement from a job with terrible hours (sometimes seven days in a row, and weekends). My husband felt God’s prompting that it was time for us to rely on Him more and take a leap of faith. I have included a photo of one of the cottages I stayed in as well as a link to the owner’s site in case you are interested in renting it. http://www.thebluecottage.co.uk/

This new found freedom will allow me to have more time to devote to writing, my home based travel business, organizing my house, many hobbies, and working on a new ministry at church. I will be alternating highlights from my trip, book reviews, and other topics beginning in January 2014.

Let’s not forget why we have Christmas. Happy birthday, Jesus!

Have a Merry Christmas and God bless.
