Speaking

The passion that characterizes my writing overflows into my speaking. I teach often at writers conferences across the country. I’ve also had the privilege to share at banquets, conferences, meetings, retreats, and other events. I’ve addressed students, homeschool parents, Mothers of Preschoolers, senior adults, and almost anyone else who will listen.

I especially enjoy the relationships that speaking brings. As a writer and editor, I spend plenty of time alone at my computer. But my constant prayer is that God will use my work to touch others’ lives.  Speaking allows me to connect with my audience and find out what drives, concerns, and empowers them. This helps keep my writing real and my prayers honest.
