In an effort to consolidate my blogging efforts and now that I have four additional children's books under contract I've decided to maintain one blog. At the beginning of my writing career I started Write What Inspires You! and I will continue to blog there about the children's publishing industry and my own books.
For now I will keep The Golden Pathway blog live.
If you are not already a follower or visitor of Write What Inspires You! I would be delighted for you to follow and/or visit with me there.
Thanks for your understanding.

Happy Easter
Easter Sunday Prayer
God our Father,
by raising Christ your Son
you conquered the power of death
and opened for us the way to eternal life.
Let our celebration today raise us up
and renew our lives by the Spirit that is within us.
Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
Wishing you all a Blessed Easter!
