Winters’ Day In
Conversations on life, faith, stories, and creativity from author Talena Winters.
Pour a cuppa and stay awhile.
The Gifts of a Difficult Season
Reflecting on a life-changing year for me and the gifts it’s given me to take into 2024.
Through the Fire
We’re in the worst wildfire season in Alberta’s history, but there’s a lot of other life stuff happening too. Thankfully, most of it’s good.
Peaks and Valleys
When the blahs happen two weeks a month, it’s not just depression… Also, update on my slow productivity mission, what I did this week in my business (hint: knitting pattern update), and some sad news about my grandmother.
So This is What it Feels Like?
I’ve wrapped up The Sphinx’s Heart and all my other projects due before the end of the year, and I’m not quite sure how to cope with the lack of stress. Oh, wait. Now I have to deal with other stress. And that’s life.
Hot Alberta Summer and Sphinx's Heart Update
It’s hot! And an update on progress for The Sphinx’s Heart.
Remembering Me
“Do you remember who I am?” Mom asks.
I don’t bother asking Grandma if she remembers me. She hasn’t recognized me as her granddaughter for years.
A Season of Transitions
Between my son leaving for college, buying a new house, shifts in careers, and some difficult health-related news, it’s been a challenging few months. But I’m holding on to gratitude. Here’s what’s been going on.
Can Someone Stop the World? I'd Like to Get Off.
Personal update about the current pandemic, The Sphinx’s Heart (it’s two books now!), our new dog, and more.
Covering Books and Life in General
New book covers, wider distribution for my titles, plus my very eventful/uneventful start to the year.
Mae Renfroe: Surrendered to God
Mae Renfroe lost her second-eldest son, Clayton, in a quadding accident in April of 2017 at the age of fourteen. Mae and I both hope you will be encouraged by her story.
Finding Peace in the Pain
For many, the holidays can be a difficult time of year. I recently shared a one-minute testimony about how I’ve found peace after our family tragedy, and wanted to share it with you. I hope it blesses you.
