A little fangirling right now! Author @sarahsundin A little fangirling right now! Author @sarahsundinauthor is now a part of our ACFW oc group and I got to meet her at our meeting this past week. Loved hearing her ideas for how to add historical elements into our stories. Her books are amazing. You should check one out if you haven’t yet! Added this one to my TBR. Ace says good choice!
Another cute pic of Ace doing something he should Another cute pic of Ace doing something he should not be doing. Yet it was so cute, I had to take a pic before getting him off the furniture. It’s been a whirlwind couple months here. Today is our 2 month gotcha day. I wrote a blog post about it! Not sure if the link works here or not. https://www.asliceoforange.net/writing-time/?fbclid=IwAR29AzXbM-YlaJYhVs4KtsNPKJap0Tu6RjpkiZqppGWuh3Bl_pfElG11sbg_aem_ARgE3Hsso6K2RnZGmKpm8kJ0Ifa-PVR7rShZXZcU85GLetj4O_7iJi3CSxm5lEM7P0A

I didn’t fully realize it till all the grad speeches, but this class never had a full year at school until their senior year. Super proud of how he made the most of this year! Big changes ahead for all of us, now. Proud of the man he’s become. Congrats, son.

Here on a trip with my youngest son’s theater class for the week and had a few minutes to explore. Not enough time but grateful for doing what I could. The famous reading room was only open at certain times but I could take a peek inside. #booklover #ilovelibrarybooks #amreading

My word for 2023 is Change! It took a while to My word for 2023 is Change! It took a while to select this next word. And it may seem like an odd choice, but this year will mark a lot of change in our home, with our middle son graduating college and our youngest graduating high school. Besides change that comes with the seasons of life, I’m working on change for myself. Habits 👣, health 🥗⚕️🏋️, scenery (I.e. travel ✈️) and of course my manuscripts 📚. Editing means change. Sometimes small and sometimes big. I need to commit to edit them all the way to publication. 📖 I look forward to exploring this word more this year. And thought I’d share a pic of me in my new bold computer glasses! Change sometimes means being bold with your choices. It’s fun to add some color on those zoom calls for work. 🤣 #myword #my2023word #myword2023 #change #fhlauthor #focusword #wordoftheyear #focusword2023 #amwriting #amreading #author #writermotivation

Happy New Year! Here’s to a great 2023!! Happy New Year! Here’s to a great 2023!!
As I close out 2022, I love to reflect on the year As I close out 2022, I love to reflect on the year. And my word of the year. I have loved the word work this year. I have worked on my faith (which always needs work), my health, on my manuscript, and other parts of my life. It’s been a good word to find quotes and inspiration around me. And as usual, I’m sad to move on, but excited for a new word to focus on in the new year.
