FREE memberships through January 2026. I’ve started a second community called The Bible Still Works. This space is not about religious doctrine, labels, or ideologies. It’s about discovering how the priceless wisdom found in scriptural principles can still help us live better, more meaningful lives today. It's about becoming familiar with the people, places, and things the Bible discusses. It's about discovering what the Bible truly says, rather than just relying on what we've heard. If you sense that Divine wisdom still has relevance in a modern world—and you want a calm, practical space to explore that—walk with me and let’s explore together how the Bible still works. https://www.skool.com/the-bible-still-works-4317/about

What is one small way you took care of yourself: drank water, stretched, took a nap, said “no,” sat in silence. Self-care is essential for a healthy and creative mind and body.

Every month in 2026, we’re playing a beautiful game together — not for prizes (though surprises may pop up), but for connection, creativity, and little personal victories. Each month’s Cozy Bingo Card is filled with gentle prompts designed to spark inspiration, stretch your imagination, encourage reflection, and weave us all a little closer. Think of it as: A monthly nudge to notice more | A reason to try one tiny new thing | A playful structure to keep your creative heart awake | A way to celebrate BOTH our wins and our “not-so-goods.” Because everything you try, learn, attempt, or even abandon — it all counts in this creative life. 🧵 How It Works 1.

Down-home potato soup with meatballs One thing you’ll learn about cooking from me is that grandma-style leaves lots of room for self-expression. Why? Because we don’t measure — we taste for accuracy. A pinch, a dash, a palm-full, and a smidgeon are all very exact directions when you learn to appreciate them. So don’t get stuck in a rut, experiment a little, tweak a lot, and you’ll be surprised to find your own flair for cooking. Let me share my latest dish… You can start this dish with any basic recipe for potato soup. I always start with a stick of butter, diced onions, and chopped celery, which I simmer in my favorite soup pot. I’ll season with fresh garlic, salt, pepper, and a couple of spoons of chicken base. I add the diced potatoes, frozen meatballs, and a handful of chopped spinach. Then I fill my pot with liquid — 1 part water to 2 parts milk. Be sure to add additional seasonings of your choice if you desire. Cook on a medium/low heat until potatoes are tender. Just before serving, I’ll add a couple of tablespoons of sour cream to the mix. All that’s left is to dish it up into bowls and top with your favorite croutons. Enjoy!
