Write Where It Hurts
God has used writing in my life in a powerful way. As a word-lover, an author, I’ve learned this, how sometimes we write for publication, yes, but how sometimes we write simply to reconcile. To uncover truths and connect dots in ways that sometimes aren’t possible until we sit quiet with the pressing questions.
Today, I’m passionate about writing as a healing tool. You’ll find Write Where It Hurts a connection point, an invitation to women and conversations that bring healing. We need that, don’t we? A place where can we can drop all the masks and cut through the hard stuff.
Come join us. In our online community here, you’ll find hope, encouragement, and practical tools along with a challenge to live intentionally. Pull up a chair. Grab a spot of tea, or your favorite java. Be encouraged and inspired as you connect with other brave-hearted women who have faced unfathomable trials with courage. Risk the writing challenges, and be rewarded with a fresh perspective of your own.
Truth in the Details
Guest post by Lisa Luke Easterling I write my truth at my desk in the little office space off the kitchen, with windows all around but often closed to keep out much of the light.

The Blessing of Affirmation

Wonder and Lightning
Guest post by Lisa Easterling I watched him descend the stairs at the ice forum one evening, his lanky frame sauntering in characteristic fashion and making me smile at memories of watching him walk across parking lots and down mall midways and across rooms for more than thirty years. I watched him until he disappeared around […]
The Taming of a Mind

The Mother Connection

Trust And Believe
Guest post by Beth Jones The drums of Africa beat within my heart. I have never been there, but one day I will go. I believe God has an impartation for me there—much like when He spoke to me that I’d go to Israel and Niagara Falls and had impartations for me there. Because […]
