Grain-Free Rosemary Almond-Flour Bread

We’ve been trying to live a grain-free, seedless, whole food lifestyle. I’m hoping it will help with the migraines and blood sugar. My husband is hoping it will help with his running.

Letting Go

It wasn’t something I intentionally set out to do; it’s more like I realized it after it was already happening. Life had become far too crushing, too busy, too loud. I was drowning.

When A Stranger Asks "What Happens Next?"

I was going through some of my old blog drafts, and I came upon this one. I wrote it three years ago and never posted it for some reason, but oh! How it made me smile! I hope you enjoy it, as well. The current manuscript I was reading was my debut novel, Nameless.   Something pretty exciting happened last … Read More

Dreams of Kachinas

      I have a thing for Kachinas, those little Hopi dolls that I used to see around all the time as a kid. We stopped by a store in Kanab, Utah, and it was so much fun to look inside! Cowboy boots, saddles, cowboy hats, beautiful beaded belts, turquoise jewelery, and Kachinas. I bought my own tiny Sun … Read More
