Howdy friends!

It’s almost springtime and I’m so very ready for warm, sunny days!

Winter brought a couple of opportunities for me that warmed my heart when I was invited to celebrate my sweet mamma’s life with other seniors.

Seniors in Dallas read my first book The Gospel According to Mamma for their February book club and later that month I brought paint by number sets and shared about my mamma’s love for them.

If you know other senior groups or facilities who you think might be interested in having me speak, do let me know. 

So what’s new with me?
