My baby still has sleep issues. I am still exhausted. But, I thought maybe I can start blogging more informally from my phone, and catch up on reading other people’s blogs, too.
We are also moved into our new place now so things feel a bit less chaotic. There is still a lot to unpack but we’re getting there.
Since I left off blogging, I started publishing episodes of my Jane Austen fan fiction on Kindle Vella. It’s a fun, clean romcom about four modern sisters who resemble Jane Austen characters, as do their love interests. It’s called Women of a Certain Age but I’m going to change the name.
Tired. Did I mention I’m tired? 6 months of sleep deprivation after a long pregnancy and then labor.
Yet, I have joy and contentment. I have a son. A child, who is my heart’s delight. How I dreamed of and longed for this and how I love him! Now, just to survive it without losing my mind…
Until next time…

I always dreamed of being a writer, but never thought I could make money doing it. So, after earning a BA in English and honing my reading, analytical, and writing skills, I settled for a more "stable" career in ministry (joking, of course!), bringing my love for the written word to my Biblical studies as I learned Greek and Hebrew, Exegesis and Theology while getting an MA in Theological Studies.
I've worked in various ministry capacities in the church: children's minister, ministry staff (aka, "whatever needs doing"), ESL teacher, youth intern, and others.
Though this blog is mostly about classic literature, I will probably throw in some thoughts on writing, occasional theological musings, or my reflections on emotional health, psychology, philosophy, or cultural topics. I am a thinker and a lover of many things!
I am currently pursuing publishing my first children's novel while doing freelance writing (my profile here: https://www.upwork.com/o/profiles/users/~0104b8a9e8c1253315/).
I like to paint (and may share some of them here someday!), enjoy the outdoors, learning, reading, and growing. I also love learning about other people and helping them to realize their gifts and potential.
