Yes, and I consider myself truly blessed! But regular exercise and a structured writing schedule are helpful as well.

How Jesus Became God: The Exaltation of a Jewish Preacher from Galilee:
"Bart Ehrman argues that historians cannot prove that miracles happened because it’s the job of the historian to “establish, with some degree of probability, what has happened in the past.” However, miracles, by definition, defy probabilistic explanat"

“When Crystal May woke up the next morning, she felt like she'd died and gone to heaven. She rolled over on her back, her sleepy eyes blinking in the sunlight. The window curtains were frilly and feminine, softening the light and making her feel protected from the world outside. It was mighty late, but she didn't care. Just lying there in the warm, golden light made her feel so good. She was safe here. She could feel it right down to her bones.”

Hi Carol, Thank you for the friend request, and I look forward to reading most of your books.
Hi Carol, I'm so happy to see that your books are so successful. That's awesome! I've been reading some books from Blushing Books and I would love to read one one of yours. Which one is your favorite and I will get it. :D
Hi Carol thx for frenvite...happy reading! :)
Hey Carol, thanks for the friend invite. I read a lot of new and established authors. Lots of talent out there.See you around :-) ♥
Thank you for the friend request, and thank you for the lovely comments about my review! It's always nice to hear when someone else agrees with your opinion. I look forward to discovering what other books we agree or disagree on!
Thanks for the friendvite, Carol (:
Hi, Thanks for the friend-invite! :)
Hi Lily, thanks for accepting my friend request. I hope to talk about books with you soon :)
Thanks for the friend request! I wouldn't say I'm doing a comparison between Moby Dick (it's the Big Read, have you heard about it? Lots of fun), but it's a great idea... Love your profile picture!
Hello, please stop sending me those trivia questions, thank you ^^
Hi Lily,Thanks for the add - love the Barbara Taylor Bradford quotes. Am a big fan of the Emma Harte Series, I've lost count of the number of times I've read that series. Just working my way through it again so I can read the 7th book. I think the Ravenscar trilogy is going to be the next set I read. Are there any others you've really enjoyed?
Hi Lily,Thanks for the recommendation of "Love for Lydia". I enjoy H E Bates, a author who sadly seems to have gone out of fashion. Quite hard to get hold of him in NZ, but whenever I see one of his novels in a second-hand shop I always grab it. Did so recently only to find it was one of the Larkin novels, which I have bound as a single and have read. They are a little out of his normal style, but still eminantly readable. Will certainly look out for "Love for Lydia". Thank you.
Trish
Thank you for enjoying my review of The Last Picture Show. I appreciate it wholeheartedly.
Thanks, Lily! :) I saw that you read (and loved) Miss Drayton's Downfall, too. Clearly, we are meant to be friends.
No problem, Lily. I love Lady Sophia's Lover. Great book. Oh, yes. Huge CS Lewis fan here. I think you know how much I love Kleypas already.
Welcome aboard. I haven't done a thorough check of how much overlap we have in our books, but you'll likely receive updates. I've just added a doctoral dissertation from St Andrews' College about Archbishop Stigand, who was court chaplain to Anglo-Saxon kings from Cnut (usually spelt 'Canute' in English) up until 1070. I'm finding it interesting, but I obviously need more background info, for I'm not getting some of the 'as everyone knows...' references.
Lily - Thank you for the friend invite! Look forward to seeing you around GR:)
Hello Lily, it is a pleasure to meet you.
Lydia wrote: "Hi Lily, I LOVE Wolves of Willoughby Chase too!"
Yes, it's one of those unique books -- not a children's book, not for grown ups, not a horror story, not a romance . . . it's like walking into an amazing dream!
Hi Lily, Thanks for the friendvite! Looking forward to your reviews!
Hi Lily, I LOVE Wolves of Willoughby Chase too!
Hi Lily Thanks for the invite and the book suggestion! =D
Thanks for the friend invite! Look forward to sharing book recs with one another and reading your reviews :-).
How can I pass up a goodread pals invite from the namesake of one of my fave characters ever? Hey, congrats on those releases!
Lily, Thanks for the friend invite. I'll be checking out your quotes. (I ♥ quotes!) Looking forward to your comments and reviews.
Thanks for the friend-vite. So do you often do audiobooks? I'm kinda new to it, and I haven't done any HR. Which narrators do you like the best?
you are an Edith Wharton fan?(your gr name)
cheers,
jessica
