Does your blog have a patron saint for 2013 yet? Mine does! Mine does! (I have another saint for my private life
because I don’t want to exasperate the poor saint more than necessary.)
The Archangel Raphael picked my little ole blog through
conversion diary’s patron saint uh, picker.
I know, right? It’s not enough
that this archangel and I always had a connection but to have it emphasized for
this year just feels special. Like this
could be the year he grants those three favors I begged for or a turning point
for something.

So I’m taking nine days off to do a novena and regroup with
the patron saint of my writing hands. Before my
one year blog anniversary comes on the last day of the novena, I need to
discern if I should continue, slow down, take a break or end blogging. My third novel’s been on the backburner far
too long because blogging and meeting bloggers/readers has just been way more
fun than having dialogues with characters from a book. I’m also considering if writing articles
needs to be the focus of my hand. Or if
I should just simply maintain status quo –which is: write as the Spirit leads.
Frankly, the status
quo seems disorganized. (Sorry, Holy
Spirit). What I mean is: this harried
year has left me feeling spread out too thin, short-changing my family life and wishing I could multiply
myself to four people or bi-locate here and there. Hence, I am pleading with
heaven through the intercession of Archangel Raphael: I need a plan of action here, Lord.
I would appreciate if you my
beloved friends could utter a prayer for me.
All you have to do is repeat:
“Anabelle Hazard needs a plan of action, Lord.” Easy peasy. (By the way, your input is also
