Yesterday it Rained Pigs and Llamas



Yesterday it rained pigs and llamas
…today the sun warmed my nose

Yesterday I left work with a Post-it stuck to my rear
…today I didn’t

Yesterday I forgot to pray and cursed at the woman who cut me off
…today I controlled the urge to honk. Twice

Yesterday I burnt macaroni and cheese (how is that even possible?)
…today I cooked perfect (frozen) meatballs

Yesterday I pulled hair out with writer’s block
…today I wrote a novel (okay, one chapter three pages long) and wore a hat

Yesterday I had to be alone and sulk for no good reason
…today I shared coffee with a friend and laughed

Yesterday I split my pants in public and refused to leave the house ever again
…today I am prepared with needle and thread

Yesterday I stubbed my pinky toe
…today I jammed my finger, so the toe felt better

Yesterday I read the fruits of the spirit and realized I was fruitless
…today I read that God’s love never fades; he loves me anyway
 

 

You get the idea: Yesterday has passed, so don’t wallow in pig slop;
There’ll always be a Yesterday we want to forget…

Today is a new morning!

Book Review: A Soul as Cold as Frost by Jennifer Kropf

    From the first page, I knew this was going to be something special. And it was even better than I expected. I’m not one to usually read fantasy novels, but the poetic descriptions of this magical world author Jennifer Kropf created sparkled. Her characters had depth and personality that had me rooting for them and enjoying getting to know them as the story progressed. Helen is transported into this winter land parallel to her home where she encounters all sorts of different creatures somewhat like human, but not. Her mission becomes a journey with her patrolman to save the Truth. It had a touch of The Lion, The Witch, & The Wardrobe aura, but such a unique story with its own charm and suspense. This book is one I won’t forget and will add to my list of favorites. I am looking forward to reading her sequel. Amazon / A Soul as Cold as Frost

On Sale:  Amazon / Randi's Steps Randi's Steps did not win the Writer's Digest Self-Published Book Awards, BUT... The judges wrote a wonderful review that I'm thrilled to share. "Randi’s Steps is a beautiful, bittersweet story told by Francie, the little girl neighbor who befriends Randi when she moves in next door. Judge captures a wonderful narrative voice, real and warm and very human. Francie loves having a best friend like Randi, who is different in seemingly tiny ways, like being Jewish, but who loves enough of the same things that Francie loves to make her the best of best friends. I liked the description of Randi’s Tinker Bell laugh with the occasional snort (13). Right away, Randi is described as being subject to headaches, which of course adults will understand. I think Judge conveys a progress of Randi’s illness perfectly. For all that Francie loves Randi, Francie is healthy and in need of healthy friends. She reacts with joy to
