Hi, Maureen! It's so good to hear from you and to have this connection across the water. Thank you for these encouraging words. They're precious to me!
Have you ever made it to any of her public appearances? Luci Shaw has been my poetic hero for ages--I love her command of the language, her imagination, and her energy!
That's good to know. I had just barely gotten used to MailChimp, but when they started charging, I had to find a different alternative so I could continue to offer my content to readers for free. Our writing life keeps us growing and changing, Mandy!
That Dillard quote has been so important to me over the years that when it came time to name a blog, I just had to work it in somehow. Thanks for noticing the connection.
Got it! Although the daffodils are now fading away and the cherry trees are blooming here in Southwest Virginia, the promises you shared are true regardless of the season, for our God never changes. Thank you for your words of encouragement. Janet

A wonderful thought about spring. Hubby and I sometimes say it is a "Carrot on a stick." It truly is a promise. Peace and blessings to you and yours.
