I am somewhat nervous starting this blog, but the Lord has blessed me with encouragement from my writing friends—especially my friends in Words For The Journey Christian Writers Guild. Every writer needs support through the frustrations of writing exactly what the reader is looking for. WFTJ is my cheering squad, my shoulder to cry on, and “someones” to celebrate with. To meet these wonderful friends and writers, check out their blog at www.wftj.blogspot.com.

One special friend in WFTJ is Jan Parrish. Congratulations to Jan as she celebrated the first year of her blog, http://www.janparrish.blogspot.com, yesterday. It’s been a great year of reading her blog for me and I wish her many more years of writing in her extraordinary and ever challenging style. Jan, no matter what is happening in my life, you always make my day brighter.
