Simply Delicious Living®

I woke up in the middle of the night from a dream that touched my soul. I got up (despite the fact I was so sleepy)...reached for my pen and pad and started writing down my feelings. The result, after hours of refining and humming this new tune is the song—Sweet Conversation. The inspiration? The new singer/songwriter character I'm writing in the fourth book in my Lavender Hill Cove mystery/suspense romance series!

As many of my readers may know, in addition to novels, screenplays, articles, and podcasts, I love to write poetry. In writing my new novel, Evidence of Grace, which will be the fourth in the Lavender Hill Cove series when it's published, one of my new characters is a young singer/songwriter. I wrote a song for her character—Let Your Mercy Flow Over Me (which you can find posted on this channel).

For fun, I also recorded my voice singing the lyrics!

As many of Maryann Ridini Spencer's readers may know, in addition to novels, screenplays, articles, and podcasts, Maryann writes poetry. Recently, she's been incorporating some of my poetry and musings into music!

In writing her new novel, Evidence of Grace, which will be the fourth in the Lavender Hill Cove series when it's published, one of Maryann's new characters, Casey, is a young singer/songwriter. Maryann wrote this song (and had it recorded) for her Casey character—a Praise & Worship Song—Let Your Mercy Flow Over Me (Mercy Flowing Over Me).

In 1830, the Blessed Mother appeared to St. Catherine Labouré, a French nun, and asked the sister to create what has come to be known as The Miraculous Medal, a sacramental that holds a special place in the heart of many Catholics.

The Miraculous Medal was originally called the Medal of the Immaculate Conception. Because of the numerous accounts of miracles by those who wore it, people began to call it the Miraculous Medal, and the name stuck. The medal is also called the Medal of Our Lady of Graces and is a visual reminder of our salvation through Jesus Christ. Find out more about The Miraculous Medal at https://miraculousmedal.org.

"For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you made me welcome, lacking clothes and you clothed me, sick and you visited me, in prison and you came to see me," Jesus speaks to his disciples on the Mount of Olives. (Matthew 25, 31-46)

The Corporal works of Mercy give Christians a model of what we are called to do—to treat others as if they are Christ in disguise.

While juggling our busy family and work lives is important, it's essential to think of not just our "material world" but our "souls" and the "spiritual aspects" of our lives.

I know that when it comes to my prayer life, it's best to put myself on a routine. For example – I've found that I'm consistent in my prayer life when I pray first thing in the morning and as the last thing I do before I go to bed; if I'm able to fit in prayer mid-day, that works, but my times are morning and evening.

I've assembled these incredible pointers by researching expert tips. They've helped me, and I hope they'll be helpful to you.
