Life as a wife, mom, nana and follower of Christ; hoping to share from lessons learned
The Challenge: Write a fictional piece that incorporates the everyday life we’re familiar with — work, family, errands — and add a surprise twist through an imaginary character, absurd turn of events, or Sci-Fi-esque setting. As I told my husband about this little story this morning over coffee, he laughed. I’m not sure what we […]
[Continue reading...]I’m going with the endurance definition of the capacity of something to last or to withstand wear and tear. On a recent trip to England, I was blessed with hosts that escorted us to some idyllic places. I felt like I had stepped back in time and it was glorious to an old soul like myself.
