We’re in the worst wildfire season in Alberta’s history, but there’s a lot of other life stuff happening too. Thankfully, most of it’s good.

After three years, I have finally finished the first adult sweater design I have ever attempted. Yay!

Grief isn’t done with me yet. Not sure it ever will be. Especially if I don’t learn to be still a little more often.

I’ve been busy and trying to do all the things, so it’s time to slow down again and focus on what’s next.

Taking a moment to look back at how far I’ve come before looking to the immediate future again.

It’s my third-born’s last first day of school. I’m doing the mom thing and being proud and nostalgic.

It’s time to rethink how I do work. Here’s to embracing “Slow Productivity.”

The Sphinx’s Heart coming November 16, new print covers for Finding Heaven now available, and an update on my crazy life for the last several months.

In which I talk about When Words Collide, the hierarchy my kids used to survive the weekend (and provide therapy fodder for later), the Adventures of Hagrid and Dumbledore, and purple hair. Also, a sneak peek at what’s coming next ‘round these parts.

In which I discuss the family vacation, progress on The Sphinx’s Heart, and introduce our trip mascots, Hagrid and Dumbledore.

It’s been a strange week. And by “strange,” I mean it was like there were an extra six really-high highs and kinda-sucky lows stuffed into it without much of a breather between one or the other. So, for posterity, here are the highlights, and a moment to be grateful, too.

Here’s a secret: We’re all afraid. Every person who succeeds at something has had to confront fear at some point to get to where they are. The trick is to start anyway.

Today, I had a break from writing. So it was kind of a look-at-life-through-the-lens sort of day. Here are a few things my camera and I saw. Also, I was so honoured to be featured on Mary DeMuth's podcast the Restory Show.

Happy birthday to my amazing husband. A roundup of a few of the reasons I love him, and some photos, too.
