Miss Kathy gives this book FIVE STARS!
For most families, the days rush through the tick-tock of the clock allowing little quality time together in the wake of a packed schedule serving one need or another. Yet the most important need is the soul necessity of time with God--as an individual and as a family. ​

​I've recently returned from the Greater Philadelphia Christian Writers Conference (GPCWC) held earlier this month in Lansdale, Pennsylvania. My thoughts in the aftermath swirl while thumbing through pages of notes and photos. I review new friendships forged and link with each on social media. Reconnecting with kindred writing peers I see once a year requires follow-up. My to-do list priorities in the wake of conference fills a spreadsheet. Where do I begin . . .

Betsy Ross and the 5-Pointed Star

When George Washington commissioned Betsy Ross to create the first American flag in the spring of 1776, his design featured a six-pointed star. He thought cutting equal sides in a six-pointed star would be easier than a five pointed star. 

However, Betsy knew better. She astounded him with her demonstration of how easy it was to cut equal-sided five-point stars from fabric with just a few folds and a scissor snip. ​

Here's a tutorial to cut your own 5-pointed star, just like Betsy!

Wearing Confidence: A Writer’s Wardrobe Must-Have

​Got challenges? Don't we all. Life is filled with obstacles on the pathway to realizing our goals and purposes. How do you conquer them?
 
         Well, for a quick fix, I look for something in my power wardrobe. When I wear clothes that fit well and look great on me, I feel empowered and confident. Power clothes shield me from people seeing me in my unvarnished weakness. Like, the crippling insecurity that often comes from . . . well . . . for instance—heading to a writer’s conference to mingle with peer professionals . . .

    Kathryn Ross

    I'm a writer, speaker, and dramatist who loves treasure hunts in thrift stores, antique shops, vintage books, and God's Word ~ not necessarily in that order!

    I inspire Christians to develop a Family Literacy Lifestyle that produces readers, writers, and thinkers who can engage their multi-generational sphere of influence from a biblical worldview.

    My blog focuses on inspired instruction in all good things and beauty for writers with compelling stories to tell and homeschool families with the next generation to raise in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

    Let's talk books, independent publishing, homeschool tools and techniques, the power of story, the importance of our American Christian history, and the glory of God to transform our lives through the LIFE of His Story.
