Introducing the Secret Story Series
If you’re given the gift of writing, if you feel called to share, to bravely spill your guts on the page (because it is an act of bravery, to ignore the inner voice, to ignore the voice of critics, to be truly vulnerable) you no longer have to be afraid of anything. If you’re not ready to post a bio or picture with your story, as part of the 2018 10th anniversary of Devotional Diva, I’m opening up anonymous submissions.

I just love Christmas and this is my special way of celebrating the birth of our Savior on Devotional Diva.

I also thought this felt like a good post going into spring — I don’t know, spring makes me want to be happier! In fact, the subtitle of 20 Ways to Make Every Day Better is Simple, Practical Changes with Real Results.…
