By necessity, we’re all being confined to our own home because of this worldwide pandemic called COVID-19. Trips, large events, church, school, all being cancelled, businesses closing, local businesses crying out for help. Just taking a wedding as a small example, aside from the memories affected, the vendors who are losing thousands of dollars from

A Day’s Difference.
Two weeks ago, my little hometown had its first snowstorm of the season, snowstorm being the operative word here. It was a whopping 2 inches … maybe in the high spots. As is typical for we southeners, we all fellowshiped at the local grocery store buying up the milk and bread, neither of which I
Tommy Allison: Turning the Ordinary into Extraordinary
When I walked into Tommy Allison’s home, one of the first things I saw was a colorful basket full of soft blankets just inside the front door. I have to admit it made me want to grab one, cozy up on one of his many couches, or maybe sit by the firepit with a cup
What color is your cape?
Some days are so good. Hopefully, a lot of days are good! But let’s face it, other days are complicated, confusing, uncomfortable, painful. Maybe yesterday we made choices that no one understands, that maybe hurt someone, that were… wrong. You don’t do that, right? No, I’m sure you don’t:) Well, I can tell you, I’ve
The Last Prayer?
I wrote this in my Moments with Mama during her 9 year battle with Alzheimers. It was two days after Christmas not knowing we’d just had our last one together. December 27th. I wanted to write this jubilant post about the new year. There are so many things I’m excited about despite the circumstances but

Homage to a Farmer
This past week, our church and our little community lost a farmer. Not just any farmer, one whose impact will never leave this planet. It all happened on Saturday night when he danced his way into heaven. All who knew him can see him doing it and all who knew him can see the Lord
Blips on the Trip!
Me to Self: Okay, dadgum it, I just overthought that yesterday. Not again today… seriously??? Anyone else ever been there? I do it all the time! We’re constantly told by those people we know who are not over-thinkers to just stop, let it goooo, relaaaaaax, can’t you hear them?? I often just stare at them thinking not
Mornings can suck.
I don’t know what it is, surely someone can relate. It doesn’t matter if yesterday was grand, I still have mornings that the quiet kind of envelopes me like a dark cloud and I struggle. This morning is one of those mornings. The weird thing is I love quiet some days, I really do. This
Meet the Crazy Girl!
Hey Everybody! I’m not sure if you’ve had a chance to visit my Hello page yet but I hope you’ll check it out! It tells you more about me, why I created this place, where I’ve been and where I’m going which most days I’m still trying to figure out! It’ll be fun on the way
Finding Your People.
Whew… this has emotionally been a long time coming! But today, I’m so excited to share the first in a series of short videos called “Lessons Learned.” These short videos are all based on real life experiences from the school of hard {as a brick} knocks and those I learn moving forward on this crazy
Print Your Photos!
Even though we knew things were changing, who would have thought 20 years ago that we’d be walking around with a high-resolution camera and video recorder in our hands almost 24/7, our cellphones! It sounded crazy and still does to a certain degree. The thought that we can share a photo or video with the
