Prayer Request

Posted in Day-to-Day, Prayer request on August 29, 2007 | 4 Comments »

I’m going to start adding regular prayer requests to this blog since many of you have been telling me you’ve been praying for my family.  Eventually I hope to have a page containing the prayer requests (and the answers to those prayers, too). 
Now, on to the subject at hand:
The five (5) book contracts of mine [...]

“D” is for “Debi” … but also for “Dip” ;-)

I bought the September 12th, 2007 issue of Woman’s Day magazine yesterday and was sitting outside in the shade reading the magazine a few minutes ago.
There was an article about slowing down the pace of life that I was enjoying. They had a small quiz in a sidebar to help someone tell if they’re too busy or [...]

A funny thing …

The waterfront in Olympia, Washington.  I set this photo as my new desktop background until the end of summer.

Quick update … “Generosity”

Posted in Day-to-Day on August 10, 2007 | 5 Comments »

I’m feeling more than a little bit overwhelmed by the kindness and generosity of people I haven’t even met.  A number of you responded to my latest post (A New Normal) in a very concrete way. 
I honestly wasn’t expecting an outpouring like that (of the financial sort) … I’m just sitting here astonished at the [...]

A “new normal”? Well … not for long.

Posted in Christian Living, Day-to-Day, Needs, Single Parenting on August 5, 2007 | 17 Comments »

In many ways, my life has pretty much settled down into it’s “new normal.”  It doesn’t look anything like what normal used to look like, but it’s been feeling relatively ”normal” now.
