Happy Monday! Today, I am turning Gatepost over to an awesome lady and friend. I met Wendy Paine Miller through blogging. She has one outstanding blog - Thoughts That Move Her way of thinking about life and expressing it through her writing is refreshing...always moving. She leaves me with that tasty morsel to chew on the rest of the day. Good stuff. I highly recommend you visit her blog.
Earlier this month, Wendy's book The Disappearing Key was released. It's on the top of my TBR list and getting excellent reviews. I am so happy for her! Please welcome: WENDY PAINE MILLER!

When Do You Feel Most Alive?
Somewhere along the way in the process of creating my bio I
decided it would be a good idea to add times when I feel most alive.
It feels like my list keeps growing.
Or I keep changing it the second I think of additional things
that breathe life into me.
So far reading, writing, running, speeding in a boat,
laughing, encouraging others, making others think, refurbishing furniture, and
being immersed in conversation have all made the cut in one bio or another.
It’s an important question. One everyone should ask
themselves periodically.
Apparently, I ask myself on a regular basis.
So, what of it? What’s the benefit of asking yourself this
question?
When do I feel most
alive? Or put another way, what makes me feel most alive?
I know for me, my answers reveal what I care about—what fuels me, restores me,
what I consider exhilarating.
Too many women (especially moms out there, can I get an
Amen?) don’t take the time to think about what motivates us.
What lights us up
with life.
And it matters.
And it matters.
Because we only experience one of these jangly things called
life. And the more alive we feel, the more we’re likely to pump others full of
life.
How would you answer
this question—when do you feel most alive?
Bio: Wendy lives with her husband, their three girls, and a
skunk-dodging Samoyed. She feels most alive when she’s laughing, speeding on a
boat, reading, writing, refurbishing furniture or taking risks. She’s authored
ten novels and is currently writing what she hopes will be your future book
club pick.
Her work has been published in numerous
anthologies and online sites. Wendy graduated with a BA in English from
Wittenberg University, where she earned an Honor of Distinction for her accrued
knowledge of literature.
She’s represented by Rachelle Gardner of Books
& Such Literary Agency.

Thank you, Wendy! It's been a real treat to have you here!
I feel most alive in nature. God created such beautiful wonders for us to see and experience on His earth. His sunsets are my favorite.
Between you, me and the gatepost,
Loree
