Hello bloggy friends! Sorry I've been a little MIA, just got back from a trip to DC for the kiddo's week long speech camp. It was a great, but exhausting week, and I'm so proud of E for working so hard to learn new words and learning how to put them into phrases. Here's the kiddo after his graduation where he received a medal for all his hard work, with his speech therapist and the creator of the camp, Jodi Kumar.
Before that, I was participating in Camp NaNoWriMo. This is the summertime version of NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month), where you can set your own writing count goals for the month of July. I wrote a whole 5,746 words before camp. Didn't have time to write during camp and haven't hit my writing groove yet, so I don't think I'll make the minimum goal of 10,000 words, but it's all good. I knew realistically I couldn't make 10,000 words and was shooting for between 5-7,000 words. I'm 5,746 words closer than I was, and I still have a few days to go... :)
Anyway, for my writerly bloggy friends, I wanted to make sure you are informed about WriteOnCon. It's an awesome online conference for writers that'll take place August 13-14. Check it out. :)
Oh, and anyone else excited about seeing Catching Fire? The trailer is pretty awesome!!
The last couple of years, rather than making a list of New Years Resolutions I know I won’t be able to keep longer than a week or so, I instead seek God about a word, or theme He wants me to focus on for that year. The first year I did this the word He gave me was ‘intentional’. I learned more about what it meant to be an intentional wife, mother, woman of God, housewife, etc. But for the last three years in a row, when I seek God about my word for the year, it’s always the same.
‘Victory’.
Victory. Noun.1:the overcoming of an
enemy or antagonist2:achievement of mastery
or success in a struggle or endeavor against odds or difficulties -Merriam-Webster Dictionary
