I spent much of the evening with my realtor and made a call to my mortgage broker. If all goes well with the second viewing tomorrow, I may make an offer on a house.
Nightmares and panic attacks to come. Maybe.

A Risky Consideration

One of my favorite sayings reminds me of a number of essential things in my life: Faith, trust in God, the brevity of life.
“Sometimes, when God is trying to nudge you off a ledge, it’s because He knows you can fly.”
I’ve stood on a lot of ledges in my life, both as a writer and [...]

Over the weekend, I revised A Picture Perfect Murder, completing the second draft. Yesterday, I sent it off to a potential agent. *Insert: cheers!*
I waited for the post-project slump, but I think I’d had too much Coke Zero. I was so hyper that I dove right into the next project, an article (overdue), and [...]

I don’t have much time this morning, but a friend (thanks, Jerry!) sent me this and I had to post it before I left. Hugs to all.
A Christmas Prayer
Robert Louis Stevenson
O God, our loving Father, help us
Rightly to remember the birth of Jesus,
That we may share in the song of the
Angels, the gladness of [...]

My plans have changed, so I’ll be offline for a few days starting tomorrow. Going to see my mom early. I’ll be back Christmas Eve night. Right now, I’m listening to Amy Grant’s Home for Christmas CD and singing my heart out. My upstairs neighbors have moved out, so I’m taking advantage with a lot [...]

The Weekend Before Christmas

The older I get, the less important holidays become. I don’t have a lot of family to gather with, and I find that gifts mean a lot less to me than they did twenty years ago. I’d much rather my friends buy me a hamburger and spend an hour chatting than drop a CD on [...]

Just a Reminder

Blogs, like email, can be the recipients of porn spam. In this case, I have to clean out 20-30 of them off my comments every week. They usually appear on old entries, so most readers to my blog won’t see them (I hope). If you do, please know that I’ll delete it as soon as [...]

A touch of shameless self-promotion here…

This is my new book, which makes a great little gift for the women on your list. At only $5.00, it’s an easy way to drop a little extra something in their stockings this Christmas. You can order it from Amazon, or from me. Just drop me an email (ramona@ramonarichards.com).

This morning, I found out I had to present three books at sales conference. As in, present them this afternoon. Scurry, scurry, where’s my TUMS?! But it went okay, and it’s all behind me . . . now, to regroup and refocus my efforts on the WIPs on my desk and get past the high [...]

Breathless

This is Rachel’s first day back at school, and the day before sales conference. It has literally been a non-stop day, starting at 4:30. I had all kinds of pithy things I wanted to post, but most have gone the way of all memory tidbits on a swamped day. I wanted to talk about Secrets, [...]
