I hope your 2025 is off to a great start! Mine has been busy and…
A Day in the Life
I’m writing this on October 13, 2020. My mini-dachshund, Sophie, is curled up next to me on the couch. Yes, I brought my laptop down from my office to write this post. Late afternoon sunlight spills onto the furniture in patches, and I need to start making dinner. Like now!
I finished writing sample chapters (this is the first three chapters, or roughly 50 pages) of a new book around lunchtime. Usually I get up, have some coffee, read the Bible and pray. Then I exercise, get ready quick and head straight to my office for a full day of work. Today was different, though.
Instead of exercising first, I dove right into my WIP (work in progress), sensing I needed to strike early to keep the momentum. I’m glad I did. It’s always a good feeling to complete a phase of a project.
After lunch, I drove to the post office. Oh, I wish you could have seen the pretty drive I had. The autumn colors are in their prime right now–everything is golden and orange and russet. It’s absolutely stunning.
At the post office, I threw on my mask and was thankful when the worker suggested a cheaper shipping option for one of the packages I was sending. I also mailed out seven books people won from my giveaways.
Once that was done, I drove to the park to *finally* exercise! Three miles of walking in sunny, warm, beauty did my heart good. It always does.
Back home I took a quick shower and began putting a few blog posts together, including this one.
And now it’s time–really time!!–to get supper started.
What is a typical day in the life for you?

Judd Wilson lives a solitary life…until he learns Nicole Taylor and her infant triplets need somewhere to stay. The cabin on his ranch is the perfect solution, but now his quiet Christmas alone feels a lot more crowded. Recently widowed, Nicole questions her swiftly developing feelings for Judd, even if the older man is wonderful with her babies. Is she ready to take that leap again?
