I love Saturday mornings.I used to sleep in--alas, Sadie and Bernice, my dogs, do NOT sleep in, so I don't either, but still, it's lovely to wake up with nowhere I have to go. The cards and packages have been sent, and I'm looking forward to spending Christmas in LA...

I am truly the Woman Who Has Everything.This year, my mother and a very dear, longtime friend picked up on that, and sent gifts to World Hunger and Habitat for Humanity, in my name.I am deeply grateful, and so touched, and I hope this becomes a trend among those who...

My good friend, Debbie Macomber, always chooses a theme word for each new year. She explores the meaning of that word, in her journals, in her prayers, in her life. She celebrates and honors the word, and claims the quality for her own. (Did I mention that Debbie is...

It has been SO cold here. I guess the universe is preparing me for winters in Spokane!Right now, I'm working on a brand new Silhoutette Special Edition called "Sierra's Homecoming". It's so much fun! The book is the first of two stories about half-sisters who are...

I had a wonderful time with my beautiful daughter, Wendy. She showed me the first 30 pages of her new script, and it's a doozy! I fully expect to see it on the silver screen in the not too distant future!We stayed at the Mirage, and even though neither of us won...

Buck, Coco, Banjo and Skye are all snug at the new stables. Clint, their wonderful caretaker, fitted them for blankets, and they allowed him to put them on without a problem--something we had doubts about. Arizona horses, you see, do not know from blankets. I miss my...

I just returned from a flying trip to Spokane, and it was unscheduled. The horses were receiving plenty of TLC on the ranch outside of Northport, but there is no barn, and my poor Arizona critters were shivering! This cowgirl couldn't rest until they were warm, so I...
