Hey there, sweet friend, Not long ago I had the sweetest conversation with Stephanie O’Neal on her podcast, Authors Amplified. We chatted about the winding path that brought me here — from homeschooling mom to empty nester, from Texas to Alaska — and how the Lord has gently led this whole grace-filled writing journey. We also talked about something that surprises people: I’ve walked this entire author season without being on social media… and how much unexpected freedom that decision has brought. We also talked about: ❤️The little spark that started Willow Creek This conversation felt less like an interview and more like two friends chatting over sweet tea on Glory’s front porch. ❤️ It was such fun. Listen to it here: GRACE AMPLIFIED PODCAST - Melissa Alyse Episode You can listen there or choose your favorite platform. And if you listen on Apple, please give Stephanie some 5-star love over there too! 🫶 I’d love to know what you thought of our chat. Did something stand out to you? Just hit reply and let me know. 🤗 grace + hugs, Melissa Alyse ❤️ Last week poll results - seems we are split pretty evenly. 😅💁♀️ |

But the constant noise, needs, interruptions, emotions, and everyday chaos (adding homeschooling on...
Hey there, sweet friend, You won’t believe what Ethel Sue volunteered to help with at the rodeo on Saturday… The craft booth. Which means you can guarantee there was plenty of glitter, stickers, glue sticks, and at least one child who left looking like a walking scrapbook page. 😄 But that isn’t even the surprising part. You know who offered to help her? Jo. Yes, sweet, quiet Jo from across the street. Now, to be fair, Ethel Sue may have caught her outside watering her bushes… and may have...
For those that want to skip straight to getting the book - 👉 You can grab Ruckus at the Rodeo here 😁👍 Hey there, sweet friend, Rodeo week in Willow Creek is usually one of my favorite times of the year… Dust in the air, boots by the door, and more sweet tea than anyone should reasonably drink. The Bridge Ladies signed up to help with check-in at this year's Sterling Ridge Ranch Rodeo. And for a while… it was all going great. Until it wasn't. The radio crackled. A voice came through, rushed...
