What’s the Mission?
In case you didn’t know, yes, I do blog elsewhere from time to time! Here’s a sampling of what I’ve been doing lately.
On What’s the Mission, I post spiritual reflections and book reviews (I belong to a great program called Viral Bloggers in which I get free books!). Latest reviews include Picking Dandelions by Sarah [...]
No, I did NOT do what that guy in the picture is doing! Almost two weeks ago I wrote about balancing everything I wanted to do during winter break. I’m going back to work tomorrow, so it’s time to take stock.
Cookie-baking: I wanted molasses cookies, because I had some delicious, buttery ones at an earlier [...]

It starts with me not getting enough sleep, either because I stayed up too late playing on the internets or because some kid was keeping me awake. Or because I was hacking and coughing all night.
The next day, I [...]
In case you missed it, yesterday’s post was a contest. Guest blogger and author Christina Katz posted about why one should write a book, and she asked readers to comment on why they wanted to write a book. All commenters on that post were eligible for a drawing.

Last spring, I invested part of my tax refund in a class called Writing and Publishing the Short Stuff (especially for moms), because I am a mom, and I wanted to get published. The instructor was Christina Katz (who continues to teach this class).
Before the class was even over I’d sold my first piece [...]
