What’s happening this fall?
Where should I start in my new posts for this year? I think I will start with an update of what will be happening this fall.
What’s happening in my writer’s life?
I fly out to Calgary, Alberta, the week of September 19 to partake in my first book tour. Colleen McCubbin my publisher of Siretona Creative is setting up places for us to visit with my books.. Then we will both travel to Edmonton for the Inscribe Conference. At the end of that we will return to Calgary and do two more days of touring. I am very excited to see where God will lead us in this venture. (click to tweet)
What’s happening in my guest post blogging?
Over the summer I have jotted down a few ideas of what to post on two blogs that I belong.
What’s happening with The Kingdom of Thrim?
I have a back-to-school special offer for The Kingdom of Thrim. You can receive the 5-pak extension activities for free ($2.99 value) when you purchase a copy of my book. (click to tweet)
If you buy through Amazon please send me a receipt and I will send you the activities. If you buy here I will know and send you the package.
What’s happening during my prayer life?
During the summer I had much time to think and pray. I have found out that I need to be focused on one thing at a time. For some reason my brain likes to flit from one thing to another. I am learning to focus and do one task – until it is finished. Then on to the next. It has helped me to make a list of tasks and try to tick them off as they are done.
I read an amazing blog about 50 ways to improve my life. (click to tweet)
I have started 3 of them:
- Don’t use social media, blogging, or texting until 60 minutes or more has gone past since you woke up. This has been a big one for me. Now I can relax and focus on what God is teaching me.
- Do something that terrifies you – it says to do this each day. Well I have been trying to do it at least once a week. I spoke in front of the church on Sunday without notes. I am planning my first ever book tour.
- Replace warm showers with cold ones. Again I am slowly working into this. I have a short cool down shower after my hot one. And I mean cool not cold. I can’t go cold yet.
Those are just 3 new ones I am trying. Check out the list. I do the no sugar, and go to bed early and rise early. I am working on another three and will share another time.
Would love to hear what’s happening in your life. How can I pray for you?
Today is Word of God Speak.
God bless you on your book tour! I am going to have to click over and read the 50 things blog you recommended. No social media for the first hour is something I know I would benefit from.
I understand what you mean about focusing on one thing at a time. I definitely need to do that as well.
Thanks for the heads up about the post 50 ways to improve your life. I will certainly be checking that one out!
Thanks for hosting Word of God Speak. I appreciate the opportunity to share.
It sounds as if you are just as busy as ever. Is this the definition of “retirement”?
Blessings, friend!
