Exciting news! We have a new book on the way that I am writing with Dennis Booth, from New South Wales, Australia. It will be called, “Signs of Hope: For the Weak Days.” (Working Title.) It is a compiling of posts that Dennis and I have been doing on my blog at: www.dailysignsofhope.com. There are 0ver 46,800 followers on that site, and it is because so many people are seeking hope and it is provided there.
*Update: 11-12-13. I have about one half of my share of the book done. We still don’t have a publishing date yet, but stay tuned to see what is happening. I will try to have an update often.

It has been a while since I last posted. I had surgery on my neck to take out a bone spur, and the recovery is slow. Not only do I have problems with pain, I also can’t swallow solid food. I have to have soups, milkshakes, and juices. I love the milkshakes, but I getting very tired of soups.
I thought I would use part of this post to catch you up on where my writing is going, and what is coming up.
- I have a literary agent interested in my work who is from Colorado-USA. If I connect with him a new world will open up. Tom Brady from the Patriots has an agent and has done pretty well with that. 🙂
- My first book, “Signs of Hope: Ways to Survive in an Unfriendly World,” received a national award from the Reader’s Favorite Awards. I am very proud of that, and hope to continue writing the type of books people will like.
- I have been working on my second book, which I am writing with Dennis Booth from New South Wales, Australia. It will be called, “Signs of Hope: For the Weak Days.” (Working title) It is a devotional, and has excerpts from my blog: www.dailysignsofhope.com. The blog has over 47,000 followers. Check it out yourself and see why. CLUE… the title gives away why so many people come there.
Now as I always do, no matter what the subject is above, will share some thoughts that have helped me cope in this not so friendly world.

Are you walking on a treadmill and getting no where? Do you seem to go one step forward and two steps backwards? Have you faced more than your share of trials and storms?
All of us have felt like there is a huge magnate on our shoulders dragging us down. We all have faced severe storms.
Yes, I personally have found that this is very hard to face. I am overwhelmed just like anyone else is.
The difference for me is that I know that I have a loving heavenly father who is watching over me. I know that He cares. He made us in His own image, and if He has done that, He will do what he can to help us through those storms and trials we face.
Yes, God does allow the storms, but He is there to help calm them.
Never feel alone. Never feel like God is far away some days. He is always near and will listen to your cries for help.
Remember:
You are never alone.
You are never forsaken.
You are never unloved.
And above all…never, ever, give up!
