Winters’ Day In
Conversations on life, faith, stories, and creativity from author Talena Winters.
Pour a cuppa and stay awhile.

How It Started vs. How It’s Going
A brief update about my current writing projects and ideas for a future memoir.

Living Without Regrets
The new Apple TV thriller series Dark Matter and a recent blog-organization project have me thinking deep (and grateful) thoughts about the roads not taken… and the one I did.

Coming to Life Again
I’m rising from the ashes of a crash and burn four years ago with hope and optimism for a new year, and some intentions to make it a year I’m proud of.

Full Circle
Good morning, blog. I had no idea when I got up this morning that this is the day I would come back here, finally, and reintroduce myself.
I've missed you while I've been away. Have you missed me?

Getting Unstuck
A day at a time, the log jam is loosening and the ideas are flowing. The sun is coming back, energy is returning, and I am pulling myself blinking from the retreat of hibernation. For my own mental and emotional health, this year needs to be less about driving myself and more about reducing commitments, taking care of myself, and finding my passion again. It needs to be about healing.

Photo Friday: Become Vulnerable
By opening up your heart and showing others your weaknesses as well as your strengths, you become more of who you are, and give others permission to do the same. Isn't that the most loving thing to do?

Happy Anniversary at the Winters Day In(n)
I was so intent on posting my newsletter yesterday that I completely forgot that it was also my one-year blogaversary, too! Here are some of the blessings I’ve gained by starting a blog.
Blog This!
I have started using my family as marketing tools.
I realize this is not a new strategy. People have been doing it since the first kid said "Daddy said I could!" to his mother's stern face, hoping she would buy it.
Except I'm not actually trying to get anyone to buy anything. All I'm advertising is this page you're sitting on. This one. Right here. (And all the other ones on my URL.)
