I am sitting here, trying to decide what I should talk about today. And what happens? Yup, many random things are crossing my mind. So it's anyone's guess what will make it from there to here by the time I am done. "I have tough news for you."

Remember Eeyore, the little gray donkey who was always gloomy? It's cute when you're reading Winnie the Pooh, but it's hard to know how to relate when it's your spouse, a relative, your child. Especially during the holidays. Author Elizabeth Baker, author of… Continue

SE: Kayleen, yesterday we visited with you about your writing journey. In that interview I discovered something else that I find fascinating. In your book, Taylor is described as "thinking of others". But I think the same could be said of you. Can you share a little bit about "Stitches… Continue
