Many years ago, fresh out of college with my shiny new teaching certificate, I landed my first teaching position. Fourth grade. I walked around my empty classroom, the four walls that would be my domain for shaping young lives, and had a strange feeling. Me—a teacher?  How long until they all figure out that I’m out of my element, that I’m an imposter with no idea what I’m doing? Many years have passed since that fearsome first day. By the end of that school year, my confidence had grown and I settled into a career that I would love and eventually miss. Years later, my principal encouraged me to go into administration.

Looking Out The Window: Julie Cosgrove Talks About Fallen Leaf, The Second Book In Her Relatively Seeking Mysteries. Gives Away A PDF Copy.

A Warm Welcome to Julie Cosgrove Julie shares a thought-provoking devotional. She will give away a PDF copy of her newest book, Fallen Leaf.   The second book in the Relatively Seeking Mysteries finds thirty-something friends Jessica, Bailey, and Shannon solving yet another “skeleton in the family closet”. Hi Julie, lots of writers loved to read as children. How about you? If so, what did you read? I was an avid reader. I recall my mom and dad having a huge, white wardrobe in their bedroom and in one of the bottom drawers was a stack of Little Golden Books. I could pick one each night and then crawl up on her lap as we “read” it together. The Pokey Little Puppy and Grandpa Bunny-Bunny were my favorite.

A Warm Welcome To Erin Lorence To enter to win the  Dove Strong eBook leave a comment and an email address below. Hi Erin, First, tell us a little about yourself. Thanks for asking! I’m a 39-year-old wife, mother, and beagle-owner from Western Washington. My mom, who died a year ago, was a published author of over thirty nonfiction books, and she always held me to a high standard of writing. Oh boy, the fights we had over my English papers when I was a teen! I’m a Registered Nurse, although I stopped working at the hospitals since my daughters’ births, choosing instead to work mostly from home. I’m currently employed at my daughter’s local school as a lunch lady and as a part-time paraeducator, and I’m beginning to pursue my Master in Teaching. I love to take walks with my husband and prefer to read rather than watch TV or partake in social media—yes, I realize that sounds boring. I fell into writing about five years ago, and I’m still excited by it. Tell us about y
