The countdown is on for my new adventure of signing my book: “Signs of Hope: Ways to Survive in an Unfriendly World.” There are just 20 day left until I will be at the Oregon State Fair, and the Oregon Author’s table.

What can we do as parents to be a good example to our children? We should realize that everything we do is being watch by them.

We are living in an, “Monkey see, monkey do,” world. If you are a kind and understanding parent, your children will probably be kind and understand. If you drink, your children will probably drink. If you take drugs, your children will probably take drugs. I think you get the picture.

Take an inventory of your life. What do you see? Is your life one you would be glad for your children to have?

I wasn’t always the perfect parent. Sometimes far from it, but I stuck to my Christian principles, and raised children that did the same. All three of my children are Christians, and they married Christian spouses.

You can say my job is done here on earth, but we are to be examples until we take our last breath.

“Signs of Hope: Ways to Survive in an Unfriendly World,” is a book I wrote sharing some of the, not so wonderful, sides of my life, and how I coped.

I was once sitting in my Explorer and deciding if I wanted to check out of this hotel called earth. the book talks about that, and gives hope to those who may be near the same spot. It also helps those who may be struggling with, anxiety, fear, depression, self-doubt, addictions, hopelessness, and many other of the usual suspects.

You may fit into one of those afflictions, or know someone who is. This books has been helpful to hundreds of people who have sent me emails, called me, or met me in person telling me it helped them cope, and changed their lives.

I did a post today on my blog at: www.dailysignsofhope.com, that I highly recommend you check out. It is about a mother that is sharing her diary with me that she wrote during the last days before her daughter’s death from liver disease. It is  a must read.

You would expect this mother to be writing her hurts and her anger. I know I would be wondering why God was taking my child away.

You may be saddened, and you may even cry, but I am betting you will be very uplifted once you have read the post to the end. Check it out.

When We’re lost in a Storm, God makes it a Beautiful Sunset

There is a huge happening on my blog at www.dailysignsofhope.com.  In the last four days over 700 people have signed up for the RSS feed. There is no concrete reason for it happening except for a lady friend of my partner and I suggested we use more of our SEO capabilities, and that is all she said. We are thinking that since she is an expert, she did something to help us by backtracking, or pinging back our site to her own site which has thousands of followers. What ever happened, God certainly has some kind of plan ahead. Stand by and see what that may be.


BTW…. You could do two things on this site as well.. You could also click on the RSS feed area at the top of this page and sign-up to get feeds directly to your mail box from this site. I would honored if you did.


You can also go over to the right side bar, and click on “Follow this blog,” at the NetworkedBlogs icon. You can see that there are already many people doing that there.

I went to a workshop last night, and I had a pleasant surprise. The guest speaker was Sean Jones, who is the person who is the acquisition editor at Inkwater Press.


I met with him afterwards, and mentioned that I am looking for a traditional publisher to publish my self published book.


He was very open to the idea, and told me to send him a copy of my book.


Now, that would have never happen if I didn’t go to that workshop. I almost didn’t. I was tired and had a slight fever. I went anyway, and a door opened!!

That brings to mind that we never now when God may open a door for us. It may seem like we are sinking in the muck and mire, but God still may have plans for us. We need to keep praying and asking God for guidance.


Just when we feel all is lost in the storm, God changes the whole horizon into  a beautiful sunset.
