I know some of you received the sentiments one year ago, “2018 will be your year.” As we close out this year and begin anew, I know for many of us it was not what we could have called “our year”. As I learned the reality of the abandonment of my ex-husband of 44 years, it brought more sorrow than I believed I could endure; infidelity. I was betrayed a second time; the first when he left me 6 years ago and the second when I learned of his long-term affair, which began while married and hidden from me.
With knowledge of his infidelity he was most happy to tout of his love for her, the trips and times together they share. I have shed more tears these past 8 months than I have shed in my entire life. How grateful I am for God’s promise in Psa. 30:5”…weeping may last for the night, but joy comes in the morning. May each of you have joy for all of 2019.

Amazing blog! Do you have any suggestions for aspiring writers? I’m hoping to start my own website soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you advise starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I’m completely confused .. Any ideas? Thanks!

Mary, my apologies for just now replying to your query. I found it today in my spam box for reasons unbeknownst to me. I began writing over 30 years ago when I attended local writers groups. I then attended workshops, seminars, etc. Like you, I too was very lost on using a website, but at one of the writer’s meetings I attended, they featured a writer that is a full-time blogger. She makes money from daily blogging for companies, etc. She listed several website companies, but wordpress was one she suggested. I googled them and compared them to others. They are not as easy to use for setting up the site, but I found them a much nicer site, after set up. I had tried to switch to another website company, but found them extremely difficult to use and not as professional with how the pages appeared, etc. I’m also finding that many of the published authors in my group use wordpress. I wish you well. Blessings, Jane
