New blog design!!

Hey guys! I'm here!!

Thanks for being patient with me. I've been dealing with a bunch of stuff personally with my family, working on multiple book deadlines, and this blog design, not to mention working and putting my house up for sale. I'm not bored, to say the least. Things keep sort of blowing up. Prayers appreciated.

However, I wanted to drop a note and say this is my fabulous new blog design brought to you by Haley Young! She's clearly very good at what she does, and I hope you go pay her a visit, especially if you're in the market for a new look for an existing web presence, or to start a new blog/website. You won't be sorry :)

You can read more about Haley and her genius at www.allthespiceoflife.com and www.haleyjeanyoung.com

I'll be back after my deadline next week with fresh posts :)

Another winner from Kari Jobe I've recently discovered

A little different...

This isn't a Christian band, but I discovered this song the other day and it really spoke to me, because I think while a "secular" song, it's very poignant and relatable to anyone who has searched and asked questions and not gotten easy, or quick, answers.

See what you think.

What punctuation mark are you?

This was too fun. And we could all use that today ;)

I'm a semi colon!

You are elegant, understated, and subtle in your communication.
You're very smart (and you know it), but you don't often showcase your brilliance.

Instead, you carefully construct your arguments, ideas, and theories – until they are bulletproof.
You see your words as an expression of yourself, and you are careful not to waste them.

You friends see you as enlightened, logical, and shrewd.
(But what you're saying often goes right over their heads.)

You excel in: The Arts
You get along best with: The Colon

Hahahaha. Good times. Who's a Colon for me to bond with??? :)

What'd you get?

PS - JUST realized I accidentally posted this here instead of at www.scribblechicks.blogspot.com where I intended it to go. (a writer's blog) HAHAHAH! Sorry for the randomness.

Bending not breaking

How real can she get?

This blog is called "Getting Real", and sometimes I wonder, just how real I really can get! lol

So here we go.

To be honest, the last little while, I haven't had a lot I feel I can offer blog-wise. I'm a little stagnant, and in a brand new phase in my journey/storm, and to be super honest - it's almost numbing.

Ever been there?

I sort of feel like I'm stuck in those moments after a really loud noise goes off, like a bomb, or maybe a shotgun, when you can't hear anything at all, except your own heartbeat. Like being underwater. Just...thump thump...thump thump...while the world fades to slow motion around you. You're there...but you're detached...you're there...but it's like you're watching your own life as a movie.

That's me right now.

How real can I get? Well, there you go!

Don't worry, I'm still here. There WILL be more to come. And my new blog design is on its way and hopefully that will help jump-start things again, too.

In the meantime, pray for me. I'm praying for you.
