  • Life as the Mom of an ADHD kid, Part One

     

    Take a minute to check out my guest blog posted on my friend’s, Jolene Philo, website. She is the author of a new book just recently published, “A Different Dream for My Child—Meditations for parents of critically or chronically ill children.” This much-need book “addresses the spiritual needs of these parents as the author shares her own life lessons, as well as those of other parents who have walked this road…you do not have to lose hope.”

    Jolene and I met at the Cedar Falls Writers Conference in Cedar Falls, Iowa and instantly bonded. We discovered one common denominator: we were both mothers of prodigal sons. She asked me to be a guest blogger for a couple of days. Today’s entry is entitled, “Life as the Mom of an ADHD kid, Part One.” I share a few lessons I learned along the way…sometimes the hard way!

    Reward for retrieving the mail from the mailbox today:  Receipt of my own brand-new autographed copy of Jolene Philo’s book, A Different dream for My Child. I had the privilege of meeting Jolene for the first time while attending Cedar Falls Christian Writers’ Conference in Cedar Falls, Iowa this past June.

    Way to go, Jolene! Can’t wait to delve into this “powerful, insightful, and candidly honest…words deliver both comfort and biblical counsel on the diverse and complex emotional, spiritual, relational, and practical aspects of caring for sick children.” (Shelly Beach, award-winning author of Precious Lord, Take My Hand and Ambushed by Grace.”)

  • AMAZING! Cedar Falls Writer’s Conference

    I am truly thankful for the opportunity to participate in the writer’s conference in Iowa this past week. I was privileged to travel with my newest writer-friend, Shelly Beach. She allowed me to probe her mind and brain for eight hours plus! My husband, Steve, suggested I limit my questioning; otherwise, she might send me back to Michigan on an airplane. Not true! We traveled home together much the same way we ventured out to the conference in Cedar Falls.

     

    Speakers included: Shelly Beach, Dennis Hensley, Tracy Groot, and Jolene Philo. The conference proved truly awesome and amazing! I’ll be sharing more on the conference in future blogs.
