A New Year’s Dream

My toes are in the sand in Mexico, but I’m dreaming of France. It’s not a matter of the grass-is-always-greener or not being fully present where I am. It’s just the briny, turquoise waters have set my mind in motion. I’m a dreamer. The problem with being a dreamer is execution. Far too often my dreams remain just that. ….

When You Need a Game Plan

Those are my men—Husband and our oldest. I snapped this photo one day while they were discussing football. I don’t understand the half of it, but I love hearing their sports commentary.

I returned home from consecutive weekends of writing retreats and smiled and the symbolic gift she left on my desk. A mother’s encouragement, she sharpened my supply filling an old…

Re:Write A Writers Conference

  I’m stretching my wings this week. Launching a new website, offering my first ebook, and attending my first writers conference. I also lopped six inches off my hair, which may ultimately prove to be more traumatic than the other endeavors. Thursday, I’m headed west to the sunny shores of San Diego for Re:Write. I have no idea what to expect….

Meet Kristin

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here.

I'm on a mission to love my neighbors. I put an ordinary picnic table in my front yard, painted it turquoise and invited neighbors, friends, and even strangers to hang out and do life together at the Turquoise Table®.

I hope you'll join us!
