Speaker at the Upcoming Publishing in Color Writer’s Conference

What a thrill and honor it is to be a speaker for the first time at a writer’s conference!

Given my experience as a journalist and that I’ve written five Christian living books and devotionals, I’ve written for various publications including The New York Times and Charisma‘s website and that I’m now a contributing writer for Our Daily Bread and working on my first book for NavPress, I’ve got quite a bit to say about writing.

This journaler turned journalist turned author is looking forward to sharing some tips with those attending this year’s Publishing in Color conference. You can learn more here.

Will you pray that my presentation will be a blessing to many?

I’m royalty because I’m the Beloved Daughter of the KING of kings 🙌

Three Cheers with Lemonade for this Month’s Birthday Girl 🎉🎉🎉💃💃💃Celebrating My Dear Dad: Roctober Edition: This pic “happened” to come up as a memory recently and it made me smile. We were actually celebrating my bday with mi familia in this pic. My Dad LOVED celebrating our birthdays and in later years got a kick out of saying “Happy Birth Month” to me. LOL We’d celebrate at the beginning and end of the month and sometimes in between😀 My Dad reveled in family, food and fiestas. My birthdays started out with McDonald’s parties and somewhere around my teen years I would be MORTIFIED when mariachis would pop out of nowhere at the restaurants. As an adult, I learned to appreciate the mariachis more. LOL Aww, rejoicing in celebrating the birth of his second daughter… That’s My Dad 💖

September Reflections & Our Daily Bread Writing Update

Welcome to fall! I enjoy this weather and entering a new season.

I also tend to start getting nostalgic around this time of the year. September is the anniversary of when God chased me down in Sydney Australia. I’ve written about Sydney in my books and a few articles. I’m also writing about it in my upcoming book God-Given Dreams (NavPress/Tyndale Alliance, releasing March 5, 2024).

This September marks my 7th year attending Times Square Church in person and online. What a blessing!

This month also marks nine years since I won Our Daily Bread‘s Writing Contest for Readers in September 2014. You can read more about my connection to Our Daily Bread in this blog post.

As I look back and reflect, I’m grateful for how God has blessed me and seen me through.

As I look ahead, I’d like to share an update to my announcement in this blog post about becoming an author for Our Daily Bread‘s main devotional.

I’m rejoicing (my One Word for this year) that this past summer included a lot of writing including many articles for Our Daily Bread’s main devotional booklet. God willing, my first articles for Our Daily Bread‘s devotional will be published in May 2024. Please mark your calendars.

I’ll definitely share more updates as we get closer to next May, but I wanted to share the great news now.

You can usually find the printed Our Daily Bread devotionals in churches, Christian schools, hospitals, etc. You can also sign up to have the devotionals mailed to you or find the entries online and on their app. You can learn more about all the different ways you can access the devotionals and all the different languages and countries they’re available in on their website ODB.org.

I appreciate your prayers and support as I live out this God-given dream!

Please stay tuned for more writing updates.
