Book Review–Acres of Diamonds by Jentezen Franklin This book,”Acres Of Diamonds–Discovering God’s Best Right Where You Are” by Jentezen Franklin, came to me at a time when I was pondering whether or not I should move from the state I was currently living in, and if so, which state should I pick as my destination….
Book Review–Journey to Love by June Masters Bacher
“Journey to Love” is Book 1 in the Pioneer Romance 2 series. This book was published in 1985 but it is still available on Amazon and perhaps in your local library. I happened to find it in my local Little Free Library and I am so glad I did because once I read it I…
Day 31–Dressember 2019
And so it comes to an end–for 2019, that is. For me, the journey will not end as what I have learned cannot be forgotten and what I have seen cannot be unseen. My heart and soul has been touched by the facts, figures and images of victims trapped in modern slavery and human trafficking….
Day 30–Dressember 2019
Today was a bright sunny dry December day, quite unusual for this time of year in Oregon. A good day to go out and about in my dress spreading awareness of human trafficking and modern slavery to those who might be un-aware, as I once was. I have learned so much from reading and research…

Who better for a Dressember Advocate to share a…
Day 26–Dressember 2019
Today was a bright sunny 40 degree December day. A nice day to get outside and enjoy life, which I did, and I was able to share some awareness as well. This afternoon as I was busily re-organizing my craft room after my holiday creative efforts, I noticed that I only have 8 of the…
Day 25–Dressember 2019
Christmas Day was a quiet day. I didn’t really have much chance to get out and share awareness today as most businesses were closed and people were spending time at home or with family. I visited my grand-daughter, who was wearing a dress today, so we got our picture taken together! She has been very…
Day 24–Dressember 2019
Today is Christmas Eve and we had our Family Christmas early this morning. This year, with all I have learned from being a Dressember Advocate, I am very thankful, more than ever before, that I have a family to spend time with and share gifts with, as many people in our world don’t have that…
