If someone asked you to describe yourself with one word, what word would that be? And why?
Intentional! Our days are full of choices and while many are made for us by our previous decisions like where we live, where we work, what we have added to our schedules and more, we still have a lot of choices left! I love curating parts of day-to-day life with rituals and rhythms which add to the abundant life Jesus offers us.
The Author and Creator of our lives often writes in a twist that ultimately blesses us more than our original plan. Have you ever experienced such a “Divine Detour” in your life?
So many times! I stop to thank God for the prayers He DIDN’T answer that I was so set on happening. Initial disappointment gave way to much relief when I could see the bigger picture. One example from our early years was when we had our heart set on a certain home. Begged for it from Jesus, tried all our efforts to make it happen. It went to another family, so we chose our second option. We are still there and decades of stories of our family and all the hundreds who have come through our door and stopped by our yard would not have been written in the same way. Thank you, Jesus!
Let’s talk about your new book, A Legacy of Days: Ten Fun Ways to Tell Your Story to the Next Generation (End Game Press, March 2025). Please tell us about it.
We each are someone’s descendant and will be someone’s ancestor. Don’t be the one no one knows anything about! How and why do you want to be remembered?
How can you share your story with the next generation without writing a book? There are other ways to tell your story and ten of them are in my new book: A Legacy of Days: Ten Fun Ways to Tell Your Story to the Next Generation.
These include: Journals • Photos • Recipes • Family Traditions • Letters • Travel to Family Sites • Interviewing Relatives • Passing on your Faith Story • And More!
Perfect for individuals, parents, grandparents and anyone who has a younger generation in their life, the book encourages readers to recognize the value of their lived experiences and share them in engaging and fun ways.
What Bible passage or story best describes your personal journey of faith?
Once I was blind, now I see. (Now…) In Him I live and move and have my being.
Two fun questions…
When the words aren’t flowing—or when you want to celebrate if they are—what is your favorite comfort food and why?
Pizza! I saw a quote a long time ago, “Pizza is good even when it is bad.” In my long life, pizza has always been my favorite food. We enjoy it every Saturday night as you can read about in Chapter Four, “Storytelling at the Stove.” It is available everywhere and always satisfying!
In the story that is your life, are you the strong, female lead; the girl next door; the mysterious woman behind dark glasses; the superheroine; or the little girl trying to walk in high heels?
I have been all of those in different seasons of my life. Currently, I would choose “strong female lead” as I want to finish my race at the top of my game. Hope there is a long way to go!
Thanks, Tish! It’s nice to have you as a guest at Divine Detour.
