As this book is circulated to many people who work with children and adults who have experienced trauma, especially gun violence, I am honored to hear their opinions and reviews of my book and its relevance to their practices. This blog features a review from Mr. John H. Morton III.
I want to introduce you once again to my sister-in-law, China Archer. You may remember she was one of the fabulous voices on my gospel hit Tell Me Your Testimony.
For National Crafting Month, she shares her passion for her gift of crafting and sharing her blessing of sewing with others.
Meet the wonderful team that helped me create and publish my new book, Today and Forever: A Narrative Coloring Book. Each person highlighted was an invaluable source of knowledge, team-spirited collaboration, and warm support. I could not have done it without them!
It is National Crafting Month, and while I myself have no talent for using my hands with sewing needles or crochet hooks, I so admire the people in my family who are talented crafters. In this blog, I am introducing everyone to my niece Devonne Hill, who for quite some time has shared her beautiful knitted and hand-sewn items with family, friends, and even on social media through YouTube and an online store.
Enjoy this time with a dynamic crafter in my family.
As we celebrate World Storytelling Day, I am proud to share again the talented and creative work of the young author, Elizabeth Baber. Her story, Listen and Remember, will make you feel like you are being warmed by a cozy fire, and listening to an ancient soul sharing wisdom and knowledge for you and for you to pass on.
I hope you enjoy this story, and share it with others! And please share with me stories that are meaningful to you. I’m here to listen.

It’s women’s history month. As you celebrate women internationally and across the United States who have made significant contributions to the world in so many areas of science, education, and so much more, remember. There are women right now making history right now in your life. You, right now, are making the history of your life.
Elizabeth Barret Browning is my favorite poet. If you would like to learn more about her, I suggest you read her book, Sonnets of the Portuguese. In this book, there are many other sonnets that will capture the essence of the love story between her, and her famous poet husband, Robert Browning. You will also learn more about the interesting way they met; first through written correspondence, then through personal visits in her home, where she was described as “somewhat of an invalid.” With many difficulties to her health, yet she and Robert Browning fell in love. Then she went on to write both marvelous and intimate work, supporting and encouraging each other in their life’s time together.
Happy Saint Patrick’s Day!
