I've been absent from my blog lately so here's a little update:
Things are back up and running at the hacienda - cable, internet, phones are all on.
Bills are caught up - at the moment.
6 year old bill collector decides to get a lawyer to garnish my paycheck. Without proper warning.
Busy being a full-time football mom/agent/fan/newspaper collector/photographer.
Busy being a full-time college scholarship hunter/essay proofreader/resume builder.
Busy being a full-time fundraiser/talent agent for a busy little 10 year old actress.
All that to say this: I plan on doing something amazing! Soon. Very soon. Like, hopefully, tomorrow. Maybe even tonight.
First things first, my 2nd children's book is out of production and heading to marketing. I hope to know publication date and have some book signings lined up before the holidays. Super excited about this.
Secondly, I plan to organize all my stories and sketches to get prepared for what has been on my mind and heart lately. I'm really quite excited about it and can hardly contain myself...but I must. At least for now.
Finally, I have been praying a lot more lately and know that the good Lord has a plan for me and for my family and I am trusting His timing in all things. I believe that I will achieve all my dreams and that it is coming soon. I believe I have something amazing to offer the world. I believe in myself. I am crazy enough to make this happen!
Why be average when you can be amazing?

All signs point to writing
I've been reading a lot lately. It's summer and that's what I like to do during my break from school. Plus, if you read my last post, you know that we don't have cable anymore. So that gives me more free time to...read.
Most of the books I read this summer have been making me think, more than I usually do, about really pursuing my dream of being an author. Not only that, but the speakers I've heard at our traditional back-to-school workshops have also had a profound impact on me and the way I'm thinking. I've been praying for God to put the right people in my path and He's done it.
So, after I get my bills paid (again, see last post), I plan to fully pursue finishing up my payment to the publisher who currently has my second children's book ready to go. My goal is to have this one out by November so I can publish my next book, a devotional type book, by December 2015.
See, I have a plan. And, although things are hard for my family right now, I can see that all signs are pointing to writing. I've been wanting to blog more lately. I've started writing a fiction novel! I still have a plastic bin full of stories and illustrations. It's in my blood. It's in my heart. And I am finally being still long enough to listen to God. He's answering my prayers, slowly and steadily.
Be blessed!
