Wintersβ Day In
Spilling the tea since 2006. Wanna cuppa?
Conversations on life, faith, stories, and creativity from author and songwriter (and aspiring mermaid) Talena Winters.
The Gifts of a Difficult Season
Reflecting on a life-changing year for me and the gifts itβs given me to take into 2024.
Through the Fire
Weβre in the worst wildfire season in Albertaβs history, but thereβs a lot of other life stuff happening too. Thankfully, most of itβs good.
Peaks and Valleys
When the blahs happen two weeks a month, itβs not just depressionβ¦ Also, update on my slow productivity mission, what I did this week in my business (hint: knitting pattern update), and some sad news about my grandmother.
So This is What it Feels Like?
Iβve wrapped up The Sphinxβs Heart and all my other projects due before the end of the year, and Iβm not quite sure how to cope with the lack of stress. Oh, wait. Now I have to deal with other stress. And thatβs life.
Hot Alberta Summer and Sphinxβs Heart Update
Itβs hot! And an update on progress for The Sphinxβs Heart.
Remembering Me
βDo you remember who I am?β Mom asks.
I donβt bother asking Grandma if she remembers me. She hasnβt recognized me as her granddaughter for years.
A Season of Transitions
Between my son leaving for college, buying a new house, shifts in careers, and some difficult health-related news, itβs been a challenging few months. But Iβm holding on to gratitude. Hereβs whatβs been going on.
Can Someone Stop the World? Iβd Like to Get Off.
Personal update about the current pandemic, The Sphinxβs Heart (itβs two books now!), our new dog, and more.
Covering Books and Life in General
New book covers, wider distribution for my titles, plus my very eventful/uneventful start to the year.
Mae Renfroe: Surrendered to God
Mae Renfroe lost her second-eldest son, Clayton, in a quadding accident in April of 2017 at the age of fourteen. Mae and I both hope you will be encouraged by her story.
Finding Peace in the Pain
For many, the holidays can be a difficult time of year. I recently shared a one-minute testimony about how Iβve found peace after our family tragedy, and wanted to share it with you. I hope it blesses you.
