I’ve had this up all year in my home. This most glorious message is for every day.

It’s for me.

And my family.

And for you … and your family.

Jesus Christ is real.

God sent Him to this earth to be our Redeemer.

I am ever grateful.

Every day.

For eternity.

We are on this autism journey. 💙

Some of you know that our family (including extended family members) have had a lifetime of autism experiences.

Each person is different. That’s why I like this image of autism. It’s every color. The symbolism of the circle represents infinity, the love we have for one another on this journey.

With our family members, you wouldn’t immediately recognize the autism tendencies. Or maybe you would.

I have aspects of autism. For instance, I can’t tell when I’m talking too loudly, but it makes for a great “teacher voice.”

Collectively, we deal with many of the harder aspects of the disorder: echolalia, meaning of words, social skills, isolation, sensory needs, and more.

But we have been very blessed by autism too. We have family members who have excelled academically, technologically, and in running world-renowned businesses.

Autism, you’ve been a challenge. But you’ve also made us who we are. 💙

Inspired by the lives of the author’s maternal grandparents.

Will Kien desires to serve a mission to China in the early 1900s. Family friend Edward encourages Will to join their ministering family, which includes his sister-in-law Katherine.

Will and Katherine eventually fall in love as they work tirelessly to teach and help the Chinese people in several remote communities.

It’s a rough life and an incredible journey to read about.

It’s absolutely a clean read and one that I highly recommend.

This is one of those books you’ll think about long after you’ve read it.

Courage, unconditional love, and absolute service are long-lasting lessons you’ll treasure from these pages.

❤️Michael J. Fox but not this book.

I keep waiting for his documentary, Still, to be released on apple+. Until then, I thought I’d learn more about his life through his autobiography.

Sadly, it’s a tedious read. I skipped a bunch.

I gave up altogether because the f-bombs and other language were too much for me and completely ridiculous, to be honest. There was absolutely no reason for them. Just foul language.

So this book went right back to the library drop box.

Has anyone seen the documentary? Will the language in it make me cringe?

I’m hoping it’s not so peppered with salty language. He has such a fascinating life story and has been such a courageous role model in his battle with Parkinson’s.

I’d really like to learn more about him.

Stumped about what to read next?

Let’s see if I can help you. Others might chime in too with ideas.

What are you in the mood for??? What genre(s) do you like?

I can ALWAYS find a good one, and I’m picky about good, clean content.

Plus a Cleaning HACK!☘️

My house is such a disaster because I haven’t cleaned much all week.

My husband has been out of town. 😊

So I just told the neighbor kids our leprechaun made a HUGE mess over here.

They looked around, marveled at the leprechaun’s work, and believed me. 💚☘️🌈

And we made these awesome Leprechaun Trap Cookies. So it’s all worth it! 💚

Chicken, Alaska. 1927. A young, white teacher with grit.

I love a good outdoor adventure with a strong female who takes the lead. Anne Hobbs was only 19 when she took on the tough assignment to teach in a small gold-mining town on the Alaska frontier.

Based on a true story, this page turner unravels one challenge after another. A ramshackle schoolhouse, illiteracy, extreme poverty, irrational hatred for Native Americans, wolves, bears, harsh winter … It just goes on and on.

Included is a bittersweet romance that just tugs at your heartstrings.

Tisha (meaning teacher and pronounced tee-shaw) is how one beloved Native American refers to Anne. Originally published in 1976. This book isn’t politically correct. It tells the story as it really happened. There are harsh references to Native Americans and several non-white races. Sadly, that’s how things were and I applaud the historical accuracy in this book for telling us how it was. Plain and simple.

By chance, have you read this one?

🌷12 Feltboard Quotes to Ring in Spring 🌷

I’m finally updating my felt board after Christmas. 🤣

The rest of my home decor was put away on time, but my sign has been hidden for a few months.

In case you’re looking for some fun, short seasonal sayings to display at home or work, I have a few you might love:

🌷Winter left me with a few spring rolls.

🌷Sorry for what I said in winter.

🌷 Spring to your thing.

🌷Easter is the only time it’s safe to put all your eggs in one basket.

🌷Sunshine and shorts!

🌷Peony for your thoughts.

🌷 Welcome, Easter Peeps!

🌷I hid Easter eggs in my tummy.

🌷Don’t worry; be hoppy.

🌷He is risen.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Such a fabulous book

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Such a fabulous book! Chiaverini’s books are clean reads, and I love recommending them.

WIth this one step back in time to WWI when women were just beginning to help war efforts in new ways.

Male soldiers weren’t able to multitask quickly enough to effectively man the switchboards, vital positions in communicating key tactical maneuvers.

So select women were trained for the job. First missions were sent to France, some on the frontlines.

Learn about how these women earned respect and finally gained Army recognition as soldiers.

I’m in love with this bookshelf. I love how it’s functional art.

I saw this in a FB group and asked for permission to reshare the picture.

The bookshelf is available on Etsy, but it’s spendy for me.

Maybe you know a clever someone who could make this for you. 💜

Smart teacher! She’s got parent-teacher conferences all lined up.

No one who’s waiting needs to wonder when it their turn. No one needs to interrupt.

Such an easy way to communicate who’s next. Plus the board can be reused for so many purposes.

Love it!

I challenged myself to pull an old book off my boo

I challenged myself to pull an old book off my bookshelf and start reading.

I haven’t read this since I was a kid, probably 40 years ago.

It’s been fabulous to revisit an old book friend.

In my FB book club, other women have accepted the challenge to do likewise. It’s been fun to see what they’re reading.

Want to join in? What’s a book on your shelf you haven’t read at all or in years?

#bookreview

This has so many f-bombs and other foul language that I gave up on it.

For me, the storyline was mediocre. The fact that it’s historical fiction but not WWII piqued my interest. I wanted something different.

But not this kind of different. …This book goes into sordid details about a female scientist in the 1950s who is abused in every way by men as she pursues her education and first career.

She meets another scientist, a famous one, at that job. They try to keep it simply professional but soon fall in love and live together.

The intimacy scenes aren’t too detailed, which I think is good.

But I just now stopped because I’m tired of wading through the f-bombs that have no relevance to the story.

Sadly, before I ever got this book from the library, I asked three times if it is a clean read. Each time I was reassured that it is.

I’m here to tell you it’s not. That doesn’t make it a bad book, and it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t read it. But I’m going to share an honest review because I couldn’t get one before I picked this up and wasted several hours of reading.

Every person has their own agency, their own abili

Every person has their own agency, their own ability to make choices. We simply cannot change that.

For years, I have been one to try to fix others’ problems. I have a big heart, but it’s the wrong thing to do.

Instead, I can support. But I cannot fix.

Events in my life recently have taught me this more than anything.

So I recently reread this helpful book to help me better understand my role.

I’m not perfect—not even close. But I’m learning to simply validate others’ concerns and offer less suggestions (unless I’m specifically asked).

It’s actually a huge relief.

Have you read this one? Did it help you too?

Comment if you’d like me to DM you the link. I’ll also share it in stories.

I just now finished The Last Bookshop in London.

I just now finished The Last Bookshop in London.

There have been some interruptions to my reading time, and today I was finally able to cozy up and escape.

This book gives me courage. Grace, the main character, survives the London blitz by sharing her love of books with other survivors.

But it’s more than that. She rebuilds lives as people come together in great need.

Gathering to listen to Grace read, their souls are saved. Literally.

I often feel deep connections to others when discussing shared reads.

I believe couple and family bonds may be strengthened by reading too.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This book is absolutely clean and worth having in your mind.
