Summer time is here...
... and here's something that's not exactly a "whatsit"
It’s time for a “whatsit” but…
But I’ll be honest, friends, I don’t have a real “whatsit” for you this month. Life has happened in a big and unexpected way, so I have spent the last week in Galveston with my mom who is facing a major medical issue. If you are a praying person, I would be ever so grateful for your prayers for her - her name is Cathy!
So instead of a real “whatsit” I do have an interesting thing I saw today in the hospital. This stained glass artwork includes a few “Depression-era” items that you might be able to spot. Take a look and let me know if you can guess what the objects are that have been made a part of this beautiful art.
In the next newsletter, I’ll share the story from the placard beside these windows.
Send me an email or comment with your guess about the items embedded in this stained glass. I’ll choose one correct answer randomly, and that person will get a gift (announced in the next regular post a few weeks from now.)
I got nothin’ except this…
I will admit, my brain is a bit uncooperative right now with medical stuff all bopping around my brain. I wish I had something great or witty or exciting to share or announce… but right now, I’m at a loss. So, since I can’t be entertaining at the moment, I have a special discount on one of my books at the Cozy & Sweet Bookstore!
Pop over and search to find the “sweetest” deal!
Free prayer…
Do you have a special intention for which you need prayers? I’m always praying for YOU, my friend, but if you have any special prayer requests, please hit reply or email me to share them with me. I will write your name in my journal and pray over you. And I'd humbly ask you to keep me in your prayers too.
Note from C.H.
I LOVE to write. It has been my passion since I was just thirteen years old. And I’d love to be able to write more; but for now, I still work full-time out in the real world (wouldn’t it be super snazzy to live even part of the year in a dream world?)
If I’m going to write more, I need sustainable income outside of the regular workplace. That’s why I’m changing some things and asking for your help.
If you love my work and want to support me you can do that in a few different ways:
The first is obvious… you can buy my books! You can buy them at ALL the major retailers, but the best way is to snag them from my online store (you can get discounts for sharing!)
The brand-new way to support me is by becoming a paid subscriber on Substack. You’ll get access to lots of extras including:
Weekly news and updates (including exclusive access to snippets of brand-new stories)
The Birthday Club
Yearly Christmas Card
Monthly Discount code for the Sessums Shop
Your choice of one eARC a year
Click the button and choose a paid subscription if you want to support my work AND get all of those extras! PAID SUBSCRIBERS ARE READING MY UPCOMING J.D. PIERSON BOOK AS ITS WRITTEN!
Finally, you can also tell others about me and my books. There are SO MANY ways to do that:
you can share my books on social media
you can leave reviews for my books
you can also share this Substack (and you can get referral benefits too!)
It is so exciting to be on this fun writing journey with you. I appreciate you more than you know.
They are plates. That's a rather ingenious idea.
