I&#8217;ve had many things to report, but alas, no time in which to write them down. I&#8217;ll probably end up doing video blog posts &#8211; much better on my wrists (due to all of the typing I&#8217;m always doing and my joint pain). But then again, I&#8217;d have to put some make up on and get dressed up (at least a bit better than I am usually in my home office out here in the rural woods of Connecticut)!<\/p>\n<p>Just kidding. I don&#8217;t really have to do that. You probably wouldn&#8217;t mind if I wasn&#8217;t dressed up and didn&#8217;t have make up on when delivering a message to you. After all, I am all about keeping it real. But, I think you know what I mean. The videoing requires some thinking and planning too. I&#8217;d also have to make sure that my office is clean! \ud83d\ude09 So, for now, I&#8217;ll simply type away and fill you in a little, at least.<\/p>\n<p>I just got back from a whirlwind trip to the EWTN television network in Irondale, Alabama. There I met with Johnnette Benkovic and we were together on the set and chatted while five shows were filmed on Women of Grace. They will air in the near future and I&#8217;ll keep you posted on that.<\/p>\n<p>It was wonderful to see Johnnette again and to share about the crooked path in my life and my memoir <em>The Kiss of Jesus. <\/em>We discussed some pretty intense issues. These are issues that affect countless women all around the world. I am praying that these shows will impact women&#8217;s lives and even help them to heal from deep wounds or at least get them headed in the direction of healing. Please pray for the people who will watch the shows.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3774\" src=\"http:\/\/www.donnacooperoboyle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/12540641_1028367327184238_8267295219891598835_n-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"12540641_1028367327184238_8267295219891598835_n\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.donnacooperoboyle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/12540641_1028367327184238_8267295219891598835_n-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.donnacooperoboyle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/12540641_1028367327184238_8267295219891598835_n-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.donnacooperoboyle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/12540641_1028367327184238_8267295219891598835_n-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.donnacooperoboyle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/12540641_1028367327184238_8267295219891598835_n.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In other news, I&#8217;m working on some exciting things at the moment as I continue the fight against the four tick-borne diseases I have been plagued with.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll be back to give you more updates when time allows but I need to get to some deadline writing work right now.
