I had a goal to write 100 words a day, and post them many of those days. I got distracted by the details of life.
I have thousands of words galloping through my brain, but whether I can bridle them into sentences and harness them to a carriage where they can transport meaningful thoughts to the reader is the question at hand.
If you're game for a wild ride, saddle up your horses and try to keep pace. I'll lead you on a wild ride through Thought City. We'll turn the Distractions into Attractions, and pause briefly to examine the bits of Real Life that temporarily made me forget about writing things I'm okay with sharing right here, right now.

This font is called "Architect's Daughter." I think that's perfect, considering I am the daughter of the most creative, wise "Architect" in the history of the universe- its Creator!
That Bible walk looks like a special time (and a lot of work)! Wish I could walk through.
