"Change of Plans" Airs Tonight!

Up against a big football playoff game tonight is the television movie I worked on titled "Change of Plans." It will air at 7 PM CST on Fox. Please watch. The film features Brooke White and Phylicia Rashad. Don't look for a credit for me because the Associate Producer doesn't get one! I will be watching from a hotel room in Santa Fe where I am working on another film. I love this city! However, we have been filming outside and I was so cold I had to go to the local REI store to get some Eskimo clothes. This movie features Candace Cameron who played DJ on "Full House" so my daughters think I'm pretty cool. Our hotel suite has two televisions so my husband can watch my movie and the football game at the same time...feels just like home. Let me know what you think about "Change of Plans." it is targeting moms and tweens. We are still learning a lot in this process and would appreciate constructive feedback.

Close of a Magical Week

     The week between Christmas and New Year's has always been one of my favorites of the year. I know that lots of people need to work that week, and it isn't as relaxing for them. But I have alays been grateful for a different rhythm on those days, almost a magical time when everything slows down a bit, when we have more relaxed conversations with family and friends, when we eat way too many cookies, watch a lot of great movies, nest indoors with candles and enjoy our lighted tree even though the needles are falling and the pine scent is fading.

     So tonight, I feel a bit of melancholy. We drove our older daughter Samantha back to college today, the tree is down, stockings packed away, and a new year is launched. Tomorrow morning I will fly to Santa Fe for the filming of another television movie. I anticipate whatever adventures lie ahead, including the joy of seeing my younger daughter graduate from high school this Spring and choose a college.  I am stunned by the goodness of God, and exceedingly thankful for health, family, a home and plenty of food, and most of all, for the grounding that comes from knowing my Savior and walking with Him day by day.  I wish you a year filled with the unexplainable astonishing peace that comes through Christ, no matter what our circumstances may be.  Happy New Year!
