Earlier, I thought of about three things I could blog, but they escaped from the funny farm known as my brain while reading email and other blogs. In the midst of blog reading, I read my brother’s, sister’s and sister-in-law’s. Also looked at pics from my California cousins and their kids. Now, I’m bluuee. I WANT A FAMILY REUNION. I …
15 Years
Tony and I celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary last Wednesday. They have all been GREAT years. I seriously cannot think of one bad year. They really do get better and better. He’s more my best friend than ever. Home is love. Home is safe. But growing up home was always safe for me. And love. I’m very, very blessed. The …
Agreeing with lies
I woke up feeling heavy in my spirit. You know how it is when you get in a swirl of negative thoughts and emotions. For some reason, that was me this morning. I realized lies were lying in wait for me to agree with them. 😉 I got to thinking. Lies are so devastating. Even little white lies. Is there …
So, no one came…
… to the life skills class. So, Tony, Matt, Jodi and I watched a little basketball, then played Euchre. The boys won two out of three. Boo. Jodi, grudge match, right? We had fun. I guess all the seventeen to thirty year olds at Church On The Rock have all the life skills they need. Hum. I’m back writing, rewriting, …
March Madness
Okay, I confess. I’ve been watching basketball. Ohio State darn near gave me a heart attack almost losing to Xavier. It’s a beautiful central Florida day. I let Pal take me for a walk. Went to McDonalds and sipped a Diet Coke while reading Donald Maass’s “The Breakout Novel.” Went to Publix. Worked on Sweet Caroline some. Tony finished his …
Trish Perry and Too Good To Be True

Overcoming Fear & Anxiety – Part 2
My second “attack” of fear/anxiety/panic happened when I was 19ish. I’d gone with my boyfriend to visit his family in Charleston. I woke up in the morning feeling… sick. Panicky. Scared. Like I was going to freak out. I can’t remember the specifics now, but the overwhelming feeling during this battle was fearing I’d freak out and there’d be no …
Going Home
Leaving Poughkeepsi in a few hours. We had a great time, great trip. Very unusual. But God met us in a profound way. Last night our team lead worship again (the River Church team lead Tuesday night) and we were praying for healing. I left the stage half way through worship and just prayed for people, got prayer for myself. …
All this stuff about good intentions
So, I do intend to continue the overcoming fear post, but life’s been crazy busy. First I was powering towards a March 1st deadline, writing twelve hours a day, then my editor emailed so good news. They changed my release schedule so I could take until May to submit the book. I was happpy to take the time to edit …
