The Season Is Changing

Welcome Autumn as red, orange, and gold colors creep slowly along the trees alerting us to the changes that are ahead of us. Pumpkins will be decorated by families and lit to show little ghosts and goblins the way to candy delights. Mums will bring beauty to our porches. While the leaves crunch under our feet as we walk in the boots that we wear for fashion as well as warmth.
Sweaters will be brought out of storage. Quilts will be placed on beds, the season is changing and I love it.

Book Review for September: Sarah: Laney's Angel


Sarah: Laney's Angel  (No. 2 in series)

Author: Gay N Lewis

Publisher: Prism Book Group


Sara, a slightly clumsy angel who has a reputation for blunders receives a new assignment from heaven.  Her mission, help along a romance for the beautiful Laney Taylor.

When the directionally impaired angel travels to the wrong city, her assignment at the time is being rescued from an intruder, by her handsome boss Cannon Carlson.

Laney is attracted to Cannon, but does not believe in mixing business with pleasure. When a series of  "accidents"  seem to follow Laney, Cannon becomes concern for her safety.

Cannon doesn't realize that Laney has Tomas, the warrior angel, watching over her. Sarah must not get in the warrior angel's way and work to bring Laney and Cannon together as a couple.

Who is trying to harm Laney? Will Sarah be able to accomplish her mission of bringing romance to Laney and Cannon?

This book surprised me at the end of who was trying to harm Laney.  Laney's Angel is the second in a series and can be read out of order.  The book offers some laugh out loud moments as well as being touching and surprising at times.

Enjoying the month of August

                                               

     August,a month of change. As summer ends, school resumes and 
the last of family vacations are speedily taken. The gardens finish their jobs of suppling fresh vegetables while the flowers showcase their last weeks of beauty. Yes, August is the end of summer, my favorite time of year, but it also ushers in the beauty of fall.

                                    Everyone Need Faith From Time To Time


     One of my favorite words in the English language is faith. Webster's Dictionary defines the word as the following - confidence or trust in a person or thing, belief that is not based on proof, belief in God or in the doctrines of religion. What would I do without faith? I have no idea. Faith has always been an important part of my life. From my adoption, to family crises, and being a published author, faith as always been there. The levels of faith may not have been the same with each prayer, but still faith was present. Remember, faith is not believing that God can - it is knowing that He will. 
     The Bible states in Matthew 17:20 "...if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye will say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place, and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you." Are you in need of a little faith?  

                               May everyone have a safe and enjoyable 4th of July.

What Inspires You This June

     While the month of June brings a celebration of Fathers, Flag Day and the beginning of Summer, what I love the most about this month is the inspiration that June brings. Inspiration comes from the sunshine that brightens my mood as it filters through the windows of my home. Inspiration rises from spending time with my family at the beach, watching my son laugh as he and his cousins take turns burying each other in the sand. Inspiration occurs from the well manicured lawns and blooming flowers that are ever so present in the neighborhood. I guess what I am trying to say, my inspiration comes from my family, the beauty of nature, and the warm weather doesn't hurt either. That's my inspiration, what is yours?
