Journeys, Adventures, Life Lessons

Good Gossip at the Backyard Table invites you to take a moment to browse and sample bits and pieces of 18 short, character driven dramas depicting personal life experiences. Priceless {Act One} is just one of them.

Priceless {Act One}

On the drive over, the woman closed her eyes and thought back to all the months of what she felt had been a lot of pushing and prodding to get her to the space she was in at this moment. She thought about the conversations, and invitations she’d always politely refused. But on a particular day her usual responses of “I don’t know”, and “Well maybe, we’ll see…” became a solid “Yes, okay, I’ll go.” However, there were strings attached to her yes…😳

You will discover how each of these 18 emotional and personal stories ends… and so much more…

And you can be sure that there is also a Priceless {Act Two}.

Clutched Pearls…

Real pearls are precious and beautiful gemstones of great value! They are definitely something to hold onto.

Have you ever had to “clutched your pearls” because of happenings in your life?

She did…

“ Every time I turn around, you are headed to the church! All day, service Sunday, Bible study Wednesday, Prayer meeting Friday. What, you sleeping with the deacons now? You gonna stop this nonsense! Because I’m gonna put an end to it!“

She did not answer him. Instead, she whispered, ”LORD please! Strengthen me…!”

And she quickly left the house…

This is a preview of just one of eighteen stories you’ll find in, “Good Gossip At The Backyard Table”.

Hmm, hmm, good!
I can already smell that pot of black-eyed peas, just waiting to be set upon the yellow (my Caribbean background) rice, and that mixture of turnip and collard greens. And I can’t forget the cornbread!

They’ve always been some of the traditional staples in my family history for the beginning of each New Year.

It’s been said that the vibe and energy you end the old year with is what will follow you into and throughout the new year.

I surely want to be followed by Goodness and Mercy and lifted by Love!

I don’t know about you, but I’m eager to see the surprises that are in store for me and excited about not knowing what to expect! But whatever comes I know God’s got me and He’s got you too.

So, I’ll just keep doing the things that I KNOW He’s given me to do. You should too.

If you don’t know, or are not sure… well there used to be a popular, saying: “Just ask your mama.

But I say: Just ask God. He can tell you better than your mama ever could.

Walk into the New Year of 2024 believing, trusting, asking, seeking, and expecting!

God loves you and so do we!

Happy and Healthy New Year! ❤️

The Gift That Keeps on Re-living…

Twas the night before Christmas and all up the road not a creature
was stirring, not even a toad.
The stockings were hung on the mantle with tape, and the grandkids went out on the
porch to go v**e.

They had lots on their minds; you could tell by their look; and I said, “Why not write it all
out in a book?”
“In a book,” they replied. That’s a fire idea! Let’s get started right now.”
“No, wait, in the New Year.”
That was Junior who wanted to work on it later. He was quite the wordsmith, but a
procrastinator.
I reminded them both that tomorrow’s not promised and pointed out what a great leader
their mom is.
Cause she writes all the time…?
Cause she writes every day…?
Even when she has nothing that special to say.
And they both took this in, as one jiggled the light that would not quite stay on on that
bush on the right.
Tomorrow’s not promised, they mused and repeated. And suddenly knew what every
home needed.
A family tale you can pull off the shelf and read by the fake fire behind the stuffed elf.
A family tale written by your own kids that chronicles all of the done’s and the dids
of a life full of Christmases, New Years and old.
And the stories remembered, more precious than gold.

This year consider having your family memories published in a book. You’ll never not
know what to get them for Christmas again.

Merry Christmas from your friends at Clay Jars Publishing
