When I am not posting things to my blog, I work part-time at a local university helping the staff and faculty learn new technology. I do some freelance writing and would like to do more now that I've earned my Master's degree in Writing (yeah! I am done!) Besides writing, I enjoy cooking, learning, spending time with friends family, my husband, Nick, and my three precious bunny rabbits: Tapper, Thumper, and Lilly. My wish is to have children in the near future, write books, particularly about my thesis topic, Corvette Girl, and inspire you with this blog. Wishing you "Blessings from Above"

She's written dozens of books including the Christy Miller and the Glenbrooke series, but is most known for her Sisterchick's books. What's a Sisterchick you ask? Close women friends who deeply care about each other and really enjoy the ups and downs of life with each other. Each book in the series features a different pair of women in different countries including: Sisterchicks Do the Hula, Sisterchicks in... Read Full Story

Good evening all, Living in the state of New Jersey, otherwise known as the Garden State, I am always looking for new and different things to do with the delicious vegetables that the local farm stands produce. Thank God for them and their wonderful produce! Recently I bought the biggest, reddest Jersey tomatoes I think I've ever had and needed something to do with them. Most of the time I bake them in the oven at 350 degrees for 15 minutes with a pat of butter, salt and thyme on them. But... Read Full Story
I am a big fan of free things. My friends and family roll their eyes whenever I tell them of the free trial size that arrived in the mail or about the coupon for a free product at the supermarket. What can I say? I like to learn and I see free things as an opportunity to try something new and see if I like it. And the only thing I love more than getting free things is sharing free things with other. This is no exception when it comes to all things Christian. So.....I put together a list of...

This is meant to more of an eye opening post about the things... Read Full Story
The previous post on Blessings from Above was with guest poster, Bud Bilanich, who shared with us a very long list of the wonderful blessings in his life. That got me thinking, that although I share my blessings in various posts, I've never really created a list. So here it goes....and I'll try not to make it too long! I am appreciative to have my health and although I do have some health concerns, they are not fatal or overly disruptive to my life. I am blessed to be a Christian who can... Read Full Story
God gave us the blessing of "now." That is, today, right here - the moment we're living. It's something that is often overlooked. We're so busy having the energy zapped out of us, worrying about tomorrow and what will happen. We're consumed by to-do lists with events a mile long that we have to prepare for. It's draining. And if we're not worrying about tomorrow, we're dwelling on what happened yesterday and all the "yesterday's" before. "I can't believe she said that about me." "I wonder if... Read Full Story
