That's it! Live life - stop waiting for it! God gave me that same thing a few years ago, Kris. I've wasted a lot of life looking for ... something.
LIVE it! Glad you're embracing those Italian roots of yours. :o)
My deepest condolences in your loss. God bless you as you embark on your new journey. How exciting!
I am so sorry about your losses, but I praise God that you are more content with your "new" life.
I loved your recent installment of the spa girls, and I can't wait for the next. So, you're writing a new book about a hair dresser...love it! Thank you soooo much for writing quality chick lit, you are a blessing for sure.
Yay! I look forward to your next book! You’re such an inspiration to me... I so admire your style!!!

Wahoo! I visited LA once, and Hollywood was pretty much magical! I'm thrilled to my bones right now! It's going to be hilariously funny, right? Morgan's book was great, but not that funny.
Things are going to majorly turn in our lives, Kristin! I totally believe it!h
What can I say? That's a great post! So glad you've got definite direction.
Btw, the last time I had my hair done in Hollywood, my car caught on fire on the drive home. Ah--memories!
Since Mother's glorious homecoming April 11, I'm learning to redefine life. So glad we're on this journey together!
That reminds me of a book I just finished, Journey of Desire by John Eldridge. He talks about how we're always looking to the future to really start living, like waiting for happiness after you get married, have kids, or buy a great house or something. And yet we're still alive in the meantime and have the best gift of all time - SALVATION through Christ- but we think we need other things to begin to "really live."
I'm sorry to hear about your loss.
Totally understand that starting to live life thing. I lived with all white walls in my house for 5 years . . .because it was going to be a "starter home". Last year I decided I wasn't going to wait for the next home to have color on my walls, but to paint these walls up while we were here. That was my living life now action.
And I'm with the rest of the gals who enjoy your books . . . I'm so thankful to have such great Christian chick lit that's coming out nowadays.
Wow, thank you for this fantastic and inspiring testimony, Kristin. I know from my personal experience that it is so easy to fall into that mindset that A, B, and C have to occur and THEN life will be great, blah blah blah. It is a valuable to gift to wake up and realize that as Christians we are not called to live in the future -- we are called to live WITH the hope and peace that our future is secured...and because of that we can LIVE in the present. I hope this comment makes sense...I'm bushed! :)
hi kristen! i just finished the third novel in your ashley stockingdale trilogy. i LOVED them! they were hilarious! i was so hoping for kevin! but i thought you might throw in a twist with seth! but very good! maybe some day down the road you could throw in like another one about ash and kev in philly?! that'd be amazing! but then i realize it would no longer be a trilogy, but i don't think anyone'd be too upset about that! lol. thanks a bunch for writing. novels like these make my day!
Exactly what I needed to be reminded of tonight while I'm sitting here nursing a cold and feeling really, really sorry for myself. Live. Life. Now. Thanks.
So what EXACTLY does a good hair cut run in Hollywood?!?! I get my hair chopped, styled, "fusioned", and oo-la-la'd at an Aveda salon and it runs me about $50 - Somehow I have a feeling I'm getting away with a steal ..........
Kristin - AWESOME post!!! Live life to its fullest. I have to remember that right now while I traverse through a bleak few weeks of my own personal "issues". Joy.
I loved this post, Kristin. My grandmother in Ireland...my late mom's mom...I called her Nana. :-D
I'm so glad for you in this breakthrough!! How awesome!! God told me the same thing with all these changes that will result in three moves in one year. I'm so excited for you!
Love the new car, too!
Wonderful- it's true we need to live this very life in this very moment... I have always felt grateful to "work with what I have" and have found that sometimes those are my proudest accomplishments! (First time reader to your blog, but a fan of your books!!)

Hi, Kristin, Did you feel the earthquake today? I've never been in one. Hurricanes, yes.
Blessings and big (((hugs))) to you and "Ciao" to your Nana until we all get there! (Which may be soon and very soon!)

(Ah, Max!)

(Who comes up with these word great Word Verifications? Sounds like a German sneeze! "zcmgevnd"? Or Yiddish frustration--oy gevalt!)
I'm so happy that you are writing another book! I have just finished all that you have published EXCEPT "With this Ring". I have had the hardest time finding this book locally. I went and ordered it from Amazon on Tuesday and thought I would have to wait forever to get it since I have been waiting 2 weeks for Borders to get it in for me, but Amazon came through in 3 days!! Can't wait to read this! You've made me totally "get" my 26 YO sister since I've read your books. She is a lot like the girls in your books, but a mixture of them all. I've never read Christian lit before, but I LOVE it!!! You have no idea how BIG that is for me too!!
Thanks for writing and know that you have a new fan for life!! Oh and NO I won't lend out my books!!! ROFL!!!!!
