I hope you will too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You have arrived at my author website. I hope you will stay and look around. There&#8217;s lots to see here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check out the <strong>Meet Angela<\/strong> section, where you can read more about me and my life, including why I go by the name Paige in my day-to-day life but use the name Angela whenever I write. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>My Book<\/strong> section has information on books I have written as well as a bit about some of my current writing projects. You&#8217;ll also find links to purchase my books. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>Blog<\/strong> section speaks for itself. That&#8217;s where you will find blog posts, most of which are just my random thoughts about whatever topic might have crossed my mind. A lot of it is faith-based writing, but not all &#8212; and the ones that are spiritual in topic are mostly me just working out my faith. Sometimes I&#8217;m working it out with fear and trembling, but other times it more with grumpiness and irritability. <em>(It&#8217;s the perimenopause, or that&#8217;s my reasoning anyway.)<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;d like to tell you that I post regularly on my blog. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I don&#8217;t. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;d like to tell that it&#8217;s a goal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Again, it&#8217;s not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It used to be a goal. But then I came to the realization that in this season of my life, writing comes <em>second<\/em> to a lot of other things &#8212; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>My relationships<\/strong> with my husband, my five young adult children, my two grandchildren, and my mother. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>My job<\/strong> as an upper elementary ELA teacher. My job is important to me. It also keeps me very busy teaching grammar &amp; writing all day long, so writing is not always how I want to unwind at the end of the day.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Perimenopause<\/strong>. The perimenopausal mind is a force to be reckoned with &#8212; and if you haven&#8217;t gotten there yet, just hold your horses because it will turn you inside out and upside down.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The result of all that is that <strong><em>I blog when I blog<\/em><\/strong>.  All I can tell you is that at my age, I&#8217;m just not feeling guilty over my very random blogging tendencies anymore. I&#8217;ve been blogging for over 20 years and I haven&#8217;t stopped yet. If you haven&#8217;t heard from me in a few weeks or months, don&#8217;t worry. Eventually, I&#8217;ll get back to blogging. Promise!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, if you like what you see, I&#8217;d love for you to follow me here. Feel free to reach out with questions you might have.
