Lord God, I sit here, fingers on keyboard, waiting. Waiting for direction. Waiting for words. I have been at this long enough to know that waiting is okay, but also long enough to know that to be a writer I have to write. Today I am seeking direction. What do you want me to write, […]
https://laughingsquid.com/10-minutes-of-weird-deep-sea-aquatic-animals/ Often when I teach my art students about creativity we take some time to look up or read about creatures like the ones in this video. We talk about how much fun God must of had as He thought up the earth and created all of the plants and animals and people. We imagine […]
Today my Bible reading was in Samuel. It was the story of God calling him, speaking to him even in a “in those days messages from the Lord were very rare” (Samuel 3:1) time. At first Samuel didn’t know his Lord’s voice. But God continued to call until Samuel answered, then He gave him clear […]

Except for a short time when I thought I wanted to be a nurse (Not a good choice for an extreme empath!) I have always wanted to be a writer, and I have always wanted to write for children. I have found that I am most comfortable talking with, and writing for, children because they […]

For many years now on and off since college I have had the privilege of being a Sign Language interpreter. I have had the opportunity to interpret for the birth of a child, for job training, for funerals and for two years in the public schools. There are slightly varying philosophies…
I wrote this in 2017. It’s pretty weird reading it today, in the middle of this Covid crisis where our lifelines to others include Zooming and Social Media. I miss the “Realness” of life. I truly do. https://robinprincemonroe.com/2017/08/25/are-we-becoming-cyborgs/
This year we are being called to a quieter time, a time like the Passover, where we are to stay in our homes until the danger passes, a time like the day that Jesus lay in the tomb. We are being called to wait while the shadow passes over. But at the end of this […]
I began this article when I was given an assignment to audition for a freelance writing gig. I never submitted it because my life took a detour once again and my writing was on hold. But I thought it was worth a share so I finished it here. By the time you are 55 you […]
“Take chances, make mistakes, get messy!” If you have ever watched the Magic School Bus you will recognize this as Miss Frizzle’s mantra. And Yes! This is exactly what it takes to create and grow. If you have children at home, especially young ones, all day long you find yourself cleaning up one mess after […]
Often in our lives the way ahead is unclear. We look off into the distance and there is a thick fog of uncertainty. “What’s next?” we ask God. We want desperately to make progress but we desire the security of seeing where we are going. So we stop, and anguish over what is ahead. We […]
Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul. –Psalm 143:8 This scripture reminded me again that I need to trust God. And I know I do, and I […]
Trying Too Hard A dear friend of mine once told me that the words that she wanted on her grave marker were “I Tried”. That particular day she was frustrated with the results of her trying. She is a writer and an amazing editor, but what she is most talented at is knowing how to […]

Every Day Miracles This morning I went on my walk at sunrise. It was a beautiful morning, the sky was brushed with oranges, yellows, and morning light. It was so beautiful that it hurt. It touched that deep place in my heart that we all usually keep safely covered. And I stopped. And I realized. […]
