RockWall Cottage Chronicles #4
A newsy, sometimes amusing, usually interesting fly-on-the-RockWall view of my life as an author with updates from my Substack adventures.
The small cottage where I live and write has been affectionally named RockWall Cottage because of the rock wall that divides our side of the property from the side of the property where our friends, the owners of the cottage, live. (Learn More)
What Has Been Happening at RockWall Cottage?
We enjoyed spending time with our neighbor and their family on the Fourth of July. There really are no words for how much people in the Pacific Northwest love fireworks! See here for a time-lapse photo. We watched from the yard and porch.


News, Highlights from Previous Weeks, What’s Coming, and Other Stuff
Our 45th Wedding Anniversary is July 14! I will be taking a break from content on July 13-15 and will post the first installment of We Do Therapy on the 16th (see below).
A Series that is Coming Soon: To honor the 45th anniversary of two trauma kids who found and cared for each other, Scott and I plan to launch a series of posts together. How did we make it to year 45? In great part because We Do Therapy. Stay tuned as we share the wisdom we have gained. (This series will be available to paid subscribers—we have paid for a lot of therapy!)
A Heads Up! I will be speaking at the Small Church Conference on the 27th of July. I will be posting information on social media and in an email from my website when registration opens. If you have not also subscribed to my website, now is a good time!
Finally, I am trying to find ways to streamline posts and as a result, I don’t always catch all the words that need to be corrected when I duplicate a post. Oops! I realized this and am trying to do better! Perfection is not necessary, but seriously, some of them were so obvious!
