Nancy Manassero

Four years ago today we brought our sweet Rosie home, and she has proven to be one of God's greatest gifts to us. She's my sidekick, always near me, protective and funny and comforting. Not a day goes by without much laughter and cuddling with the best dog in the world! (and she has trained me well!)

Happy St. Patrick's Day from Rosie!
I love this portion of St. Patrick's prayer:

Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me,
Christ in me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ on my right, Christ on my left,
Christ when I lie down, Christ when I sit down,
Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of every man who speaks of me,
Christ in the eye that sees me,
Christ in the ear that hears me.

Loved seeing some of my favorite humans in my old stomping grounds this week! Like summer! Now it’s back to the cold, beautiful forest and my awesome dude and best pup in the world.

Happy 43rd Anniversary to this handsome dude! Tom is the next-best thing that's ever happened to me (Jesus still holds first place) and I thank God for that letter Tom sent me 44 years ago with a long-stemmed red rose, asking me for a date. Just when I had given up on ever finding a GOOD MAN, along came a REAL MAN who would understand his assignment and love me like Christ loves the church. He leads with humility and tenderness, he loves selflessly, he makes me laugh daily, and he still calls me beautiful (he needs an eye exam, but I'll take it). Thank you Jesus for the best husband ever who makes me want to be the best wife ever! ❤🥰🙏

My fellow author and friend Laura Joy Lloyd writes the MOST FASCINATING fiction, called "interactive serialized fiction," where the readers have input on what happens next. She included two of my recipes in these recent releases! I hope you'll give them a read...such fun characters, interesting twists, and it all takes place on an island in the Pacific Northwest.

What a privilege to be on the Other People's Shoes podcast! Host Neil Matthews said: "This episode is raw, real, and resurrecting.,,the first episode I’ve ever released completely raw—no edits, no filters. Just real, unflinching truth. In this powerful and deeply personal season finale, I sit down with Nancy Manassero, author of Heartmending, who shares her redemptive journey through sexual trauma and how Christ met her in the middle of the pain. Nancy’s story is not just about surviving—it’s about reclaiming joy, wholeness, and identity."

I hope you'll listen (and also check out Neil's other great podcasts!).
