Hello and welcome.

Here in Michigan, we are in the midst of a brutal deep freeze. I’ve been staying in as much as possible (hibernation mode) and while my husband still goes to the farm to take the dogs out and care for the chickens his time there is abbreviated. Being out in that cold is just miserable.

But now for the good news. I received an email this week letting me know that one of my stories will be published in an upcoming  Chicken Soup for the Soul® book. The title of the book is “I Can’t Stop Laughing” and it’s scheduled to be on sale on April 28, 2026. The title of my story is “Where’s God?” and yes, it’s a funny story.

I’ve added this to my list of reasons I’m looking forward to April. Things like: Spring!, flowers, green grass, trees getting their leaves, birds returning from their winter homes, frogs singing, dandelions blossoming, bees buzzing, starting our garden plants, getting my hands in the dirt (yes even if that means pulling weeds), the chickens will be laying again, and now my story being published.

My mom always said, “don’t wish your life away,” so I’ll try to be patient while I, eagerly, await April.

Thanks for visiting.
