Whirlwinds and Wild Rides and BLTs
Angie here: Does your life feel like a whirlwind lately? Mine sure has. It's been a wild ride since a few weeks before the new release of A Healing Heart. (Going well, by the way.)
The whirlwind started with speaking at the Inland NW Christian Writers Conference. I had so much fun with my class participants, the people at the conference, and new friends like Mindy (the conference photographer.
Then after INWCWC, I kept writing several guest blog posts, online interviews, magazine articles, working at the gym coaching, new pageant coaching client, into the next two speaking events in Portland and Spokane.
Home after that 1200 mile round trip mini book tour and into a heavy schedule of covering vacations at the gym where I coach. But several writing assignments came in too. Wait! I have volunteer duties pounding on my desk to get finished. That doesn't include a changed chapter for an editing client and urgent updates for my virtual assisting clients. Holy cow my head is spinning.
And what do you think happened? Yes, you are so on the ball! My to-do list disappeared. Now I'm flying by the seat of my pants trying to remember everything I had scheduled. Nope, that's not all. I'm still running a new Night Owls Club with the e-book give away from Tosca Lee and I— and the CAN book contest for May.
Enter prayer. Just needing to feel like the whirlwind will settle down and this wild ride becomes more exhilarating than exasperating once I find that missing list to check for missed items.
The funny result is that my husband and I have eaten more BLTs (with avocado) in the last 2 weeks than I've made in a year! I also adopted Muse, my new kitty, to help me get a sense of play and balance back in my heavy work schedule.
I'm working on rebuilding that to-do list, deep breathing, and looking at what I did accomplish to settle my frenetic sense of what isn't yet done on that missing list. And we had BLT's again tonight ;)
What do you simplify or share a coping skill when life throws you a whirlwind?

Weddings! Love Them!
Lindi here.
I was blessed to partake in one of my favorite events this past weekend--a wedding. I love going to weddings. As I've stated many times here on this blog, I love love and I love the whole wedding scenario-from hearing the story of how the couple met, (this one met at a wedding!) to seeing their faces as they dance their first dance as husband and wife. Sigh.....
The colors were black, white and hot pink. The bridesmaids wore shoes that were incredibly cute--I wanted to steal a pair, but I didn't. I heard through the grapevine that they were uncomfortable, probably true as only of the bridesmaids wore hers during the receptions. The rest had ditched them for flip flops.
Drenching rains fell all day long. I mean all day. When I left the reception I had to ditch my shoes and walk barefoot through inches of water. I tried to get my hubby to carry me, but he wasn't a player. But the rain didn't dampen the spirit of love. No, it was present all around.
I get to do this all over again at the end of the month! I love weddings. Can't wait.
How about you? Do you like to attend weddings? What's your favorite part?
Wednesday, I'm going to be visiting Novel Rocket this Wednesday and I'm going to be talking about story. Stop by and say hello!
(Blogger is acting up today--I'm trying to add pictures and it's not letting me. Boo...:( )

AWOL--Sorry!
Lindi here.
I was with my mom last week and she asked me if I had been posting the last couple of weeks on the blog. I made a face and said no.
She said, "Oh, I was wondering."
So, I'm here today. And really, there is everything going on, yet underneath it all is a calm I can't explain. Well, I can explain that the calm is Jesus--what I can't explain is the actual feeling. It's something that is hard to put into words.
But it's there.
Last night, when Hubby and I left church I was crying. Amazing. Later, we were in the Wal-Mart parking lot and I said, "Church was so amazing tonight, No, Jesus was so amazing." Because when we are moved by things that go on around us, Jesus is doing the moving. Working through the people that he has placed in those places at that time.
I'm loving Jesus!!!
And I'm loving that my book is still 1.99 AT AMAZON!!!!
Happy Monday!!
What amazes you today?

A Healing Heart Releases!
Angie here: Oh my goodness! My excitement is buzzing all over Montana! A Healing Heart released this week from Abingdon Press! If you click on the link, you can read my very first review on Christianbook.com too! (Would you kindly leave a review to help get the word out about my debut novel on any of your favorite online stores like Amazon, Goodreads, Christianbook.com, Barnes & Noble, BAM, LibraryThingy, or any other? Lots of reviews help sell authors books.)
I thought it would be fun to share a few images that inspired me as I wrote A Healing Heart. Let's see if it puts you in the setting and mood to read a book set in Montana.
I'll try to post some more fun photos for you over on my personal blog too. I'm going to be doing blog posts on some of the places my characters visited in A Healing Heart. But in the meantime, pop over to Amazon today and download your free cookbook as a gift to you to celebrate my new release :) Just click the link in this paragraph. But do it today because April 3rd is the last day to down load it for free.
And thank you for being on this journey with me!
