Moving on and letting go

Wow! Life has become quite busy--blessings from God pouring down upon us! I've had to "abandon" Godly Graffiti! It was a difficult choice to make, but one that I have felt was the correct thing to do.

Thank you so much to my faithful followers and readers. You can still find me on the web, though!

I just sold an article at Helium.com!

Woo Hoo! I just received an e-mail from Helium.com that one of my articles has been sold to a publisher looking for articles about "parenting in the new millennium!" It's not a huge amount of cash, but completely unexpected!

Here's the link to read the article: Parenting Pitfalls: 10 Mistakes Even Good Parents Make.

I'm going to check out other publishing opportunities to see if I can score another paycheck:-)I haven't visited the site for a while and it appears they have really enhanced the site and increased opportunities for writers to earn money. If you're interested in writing for Helium.com, send me your email: divinelydesigned@hotmail.com and I'll send you an invitation.

I've been doing quite well at Examiner.com as well! My page views have been consistently exceeding the average number in the category of Family and Parenting both in Richmond and at the national level on many days. Here's my link: Richmond Frugal Family. If you'd like to have your own column on examiner.com, click HERE and tell them Mary Moss referred you (examiner ID #20427)

I'm counting down to my interview with Katrina Robinson, Richmond Books Examiner. She's interviewing me about Woman At The Well on her column as part of her Reading Religiously series.

When my interview runs, I'll be offering an opportunity to win a free $25 Barnes & Noble gift card. So check back soon to find out how to qualify for the gift card!

My "What's Frugal or Free in Richmond" weekend series has been very well received and I work all week to find activities for Richmond families that won't break the bank!

God's Wonder Woman at Take Root and Write wraps up my series on The Seven Deadly Sins.

Weekly Writing Wrap Up

The latest God's Wonder Woman column has been posted at Take Root and Write!

I've started a series on the seven deadly sins. I've really learned a lot as I researched and studied more about these particular sins. It's very humbling to realize the true depth and breadth of our sinfulness, especially as it relates to our need to extend grace to others.




I've also made several posts to Richmond Frugal Family at examiner.com. Looking for a great family-friendly place to eat that won't break the bank? Check out my review of Silver Diner at Innsbrook in Glen Allen, VA.


I began participating in the meme hosted weekly by Marianne Thomas, "Let's Go Krogering" over at Crayon Chronicles this week.

I also joined in the Word-Filled Wednesday meme hosted by various blogs weekly. This week it was hosted by pennyraine.com, for Amy at the 160 acre woods

What have you written this week? Leave me a message to be eligible to win a free copy of my book. (If you're a former winner, I'll send you a copy of the blank journal I designed and a pack of 20 scripture cards.)
