This Book Is For You Loving God's Words in Your Actual Life. By Tricia Lott Williford Coming Soon in 2021 NavPress As I have gingerly approached the starting line for writing this book, I have received three generous and gracious doses of recurring feedback: “Tricia, please write a book about how you fell in love […]
"So, Barbara Brown Taylor asks this question, and also Jen Hatmaker closes every podcast episode with it. Here's what I want to know: What is saving your life right now?" There's a pause while he thinks, which isn't surprising since I sprung this question on him while we are live on the air. That's how […]
Don't you love when a great podcast pops up in your feed? My friends Juli and Hannah invited me to join them on Authentic Intimacy waaaay back in December. (Hannah was even wearing the most charming Christmas sweater on the day of our dialogue.) But it's crazy how the conversation from so many weeks ago […]
I have this theory. It's tested but unproven, and I'll never know if it's true as long as I'm on this side of heaven. But in all the ways that theories come to be, I believe I hold a solid contention. My theory is this. When you lose someone you love, when they get to […]
Last year at this time, all I really wanted in the world was to turn Forty. You guys, I am here to tell you: dreams do come true. Forty is my new favorite thing. And I just knew it would be. I've given this some thought, and here's the thing. Your twenties are about exploration, […]
When death comes at the end of a long life, we don’t wonder if it was time. We don’t wonder if God is good. But when death comes unexpectedly to a child or a teenager or a young parent, it is hard to believe that death can be a good thing. It is hard to […]
You guys, it’s time. We are in the final countdown to the release of my new book, Just. You. Wait. I am beside myself with joy over this, because the only thing better than writing a book is putting it in your hands. I kind of actually cannot wait. One thing I perhaps haven’t told […]
Nine Things I Learned from My Dad: 1. If you're going to get in trouble at school, let it be for talking too much to all of your many friends. Sociable is not a bad thing. 2. When putting together an outfit, choose the least noticeable color in the busier item, and make that your […]
Yep. It snowed. Quite a bit, actually. Summer break starts on Friday, the community pools open on Monday, and we are in several inches of snow in Colorado. It's all Facebook can talk about. We are a whole city irritated. The tree limbs all look so defeated today. All bent over, hanging low, burdened. No, […]
“Is he a police dog?” “No, he’s a friendship dog.” “Why is he here?” “We brought him to your school to see if anybody would like to pet him. Maybe somebody needs a friend today.” “I do. I need a friend.” “Then Sam is here to see you.” We brought our pal Sam to some […]
I am vacationing with all my men this week, which means coffee and books and naps and zero wifi. So I'm hitting up the blog with some old favorites of mine. See you next week with new ideas and a new outlook on life. Margin is a wonderful thing. ~ ~ ~ I have a […]
If you're in the Denver area this weekend, I'd love to see you on Sunday as The Tattered Cover at Aspen Grove hosts the first reading and signing of You Can Do This. If you don't have a book, you can get one. If you do have a book, I'd love to doodle in your […]
Today is the day, my friends. It's Book Day. On this day, You Can Do This takes her place in the world. When I started writing this book a year ago, This Day felt oddly far away. But as it is with any due date, they tend to arrive. And this one is a glorious admission to […]
A glorious day has arrived at our house: the first box of You Can Do This has arrived. I could have hugged the UPS driver, had he not driven off on his little merry way to deliver other happiness all over the world. There is just nothing like seeing the first glimpse, the first tangible […]
It was a Full Circle moment in my life, to be invited to join Jim Daly and John Fuller to record an episode of The Daily Broadcast with Focus on the Family. The thing is, I grew up on a healthy dose of James Dobson's voice in my ear every day, in the kitchen and […]
They say you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. But sometimes I think it's okay. Like right now. With this book. This cover is everything I love. Right down to the red shoes. You Can Do This Seizing the Confidence God Offers With an inviting writing voice, her stories, and strategies, Tricia Lott Williford […]
I have good news and I have bad news. And the bad news isn’t really very bad news unless you live with me and have to deal with the emotional hot mess of a stress case that I am as of the last five weeks. That’s maybe only Peter’s bad news. So, you know, pray […]
You guys, I am over-the-moon thrilled to make this announcement today: I have signed a contract to partner with NavPress to publish TWO MORE BOOKS! I've been working hard on the next journey of my writing, and I'm super excited to step away from the topics of grief and single parenting. As perhaps you can imagine, […]
Recently, FaithHappenings featured my writing in their Author Spotlight. Here's my interview with a splash of personality. What do you love to write and what inspired you to start? I love true stories told well, so my favorite genre is creative nonfiction. I tend to lean into real-life moments and do two things with them: dissect big emotions, giant […]
I’m in the studio this week, laying tracks for the audible recording of And Life Comes Back. I’m kind of having a crazy great time with this process. And it’s a wholly separate something, this business of listening to myself tell the story. It’s one thing to see it on the screen, another to see […]
