Writing it down

by Andrea on January 20, 2012 · 3 comments

I spent the better part of this morning writing. I didn’t blog or chat with friends. I just put on my headphones, tuned into Boris Skalsky and just wrote. My book.  You guys. I am really doing this. I am writing a book. I have been so hesitant to talk about it before now because I don’t [...]

I Am Just a Re-Tweeter

by Andrea on September 9, 2010 · 4 comments

Sometimes I write about Faith on my blog. I do this not to be preachy, but because it is part of who I am. Sometimes my thoughts take me to conferences, while other times they take me to church. And I don’t know about you, but I need some church. You might remember that back [...]

I lied. No that’s not right.  I didn’t really LIE. I thought the vlog would never happen. Everything was standing in my way. I am sure once my blood pressure returns to normal, I will post about it. But I kept trying to finish my video blog. I thought it was fruitless after a long [...]
