A new season

After losing 90 pounds, moving into a new condo and applying for certification as a foster parent, it's going to be even more challenging to post to this blog.

I sit here looking out over the University of the Nation's campus and the Pacific Ocean thanking the Lord for the future possibilities. At U of N, we've been challenged that since there's been a "crossing of the Jordan" we are going where we haven't been before. For me that means taking in one or two kids. The first hurdle is to complete the certification. The second hurdle is to complete Photo School in January which will be my last chance to add to my journalistic skill set before becoming a foster parent.

I love my cochlear implant. Using the phone is not a snap, but it does give me enough that I can conduct most of my business, such as checking on airline tickets, getting a new internet service, and calling about mortgages.

Now it's time to polish the transition in my novel, tentatively titled, "Hearing with her Heart." The main character, Judith experiences life on a Canadian cattle ranch, rides in rodeos, and struggles with severe hearing loss and often experiences loneliness. Being the only "deaf" one in her family and school hinders relationships, or so she thinks. There's a deeper issue that God brings to the surface, then sets her free.

When there is provision to purchase the first 1,000 books, then there's the possibility of getting it published by one of the companies that contacted me.
