October 2018,
I have reached 100 blog posts this month.
My advocate job finally played itself out to nothing. However, I have been busy taking classes for a Masters Degree and doing quite well at it. The ministry Loving Embrace has really started to get busy. Creating original art and sentiment can be time-consuming but well worth it to those who receive a card from me. I’m not boasting. There are hurting people and they deserve to be acknowledged in a time of illness and grief that they are not all alone, someone cares about them. God receives the harvest of souls seeking him out.
I am trying to make a go of writing as a career path- wish me luck! I know in my heart that I can become an effective writer given an opportunity to shine. I am learning the craft every day that I write for school or this blog. I am creating a portfolio of works that I have written, so your feedback is very important to me.

I hope that Y’all have a safe and happy children’s fun day on October 31st. In the USA it is known as Halloween. It is not a religious holiday or Satanic- I don’t give him a chance for credit. Children dress up in costumes, example: mind-craft creeper, stampy long-nose, a fire truck are costumes my grandchildren are wearing. They are quite creative in their personalities and costume choices. We dress up our car in a “trunk or treat” for the Homeowners Association Fall Festival and the churches’ Halloween Fun Night. We wear costumes, too. I am a pirates mate this year, my husband is a futuristic pirate captain.
