Welcome back, my fellow creatives!
With Thanksgiving around the corner, I wanted to share my gratitude with you as we explore one of my favorite places, Holy Hill. Every Autumn my family visits this basilica for the natural beauty of the Kettle Moraine area as well as divine beauty within the structure. If ever there was a place where I feel God’s presence, it’s here.
Thank you for standing by me through these many seasons.

No matter how the world has changed, you’ve come, you’ve shared, you’ve supported. We’ve walked through many gates…

…passed under many cloudy skies and spires…

…and explored golden paths of magic and wonder.

From the bottom of my heart, I thank you. May you find your own place of peace to gaze upon your blessings and anticipate the adventures that await in the next season.
After my next podcast episode, I’ll use December as an opportunity to catch up on my WIP and some academic projects. My family may require some attention, too. 🙂 But I am excited to see what awaits us all in 2026, whether it’s journeying through Story Empire, peculiar storytelling strategies, indie author interviews, little B hijinks, and more. Stay tuned for a beautiful 2026!
Read on, share on, and write on, my friends!

Still here, but I still have not been to Holy Hill, even though it is mere hours from me! You have a good eye behind the camera.
Thanking God for you and others who are on this WordPress journey with me
