No. Did you know that word is a complete sentence? With a period or an exclamation mark, it’s complete. It doesn’t require a but or an apology to follow. It doesn’t require a justification or or an explanation or a ‘I’d love to but I can’t’ before it. And it’s really too tiny of a word

Beautiful butterfly.
Do you wake up with people on your heart? I do and some days the list is short and others so long it is painful. Maybe as you read this, someone comes to mind, someone who is hurting and you feel so helpless. I woke up with this on my heart this morning and as
Some Days.
SOME DAYS…. I can be the happiest person in the world, life is good and sweet. And in an instant, it all can change, and that’s not the person you meet. I’ll be smiling and content as anyone could be, but inside I’m fighting back tears hoping no one will see.
Letting Go: Fear of Time
I don’t know about you but with each trip around the sun, I learn more and more about things that don’t matter, things I can’t control, and how to face the fears that have been holding me back. Probably at the top of my ‘fear list’ has been time. We can’t control it so why in
Southern Handful.
I am a big ol’ southern handful for some people. I know it, I own it, I admit it, and I kinda wanna apologize for it, and Lord knows, I have many a time, but I’m trying to learn not to. I am who I am. I am loud sometimes. I laugh with a
Good morning, blah, blah, blah.
This morning is a new day. Blah, blah, blah. How many times have we heard that?! Sometimes I’ve wanted to yell in response, “SO???? It still sucks!” Have you ever had days like that where you were wallowing in the mud and positivity just felt like someone poking you with ice pick? Well, let me
If you can’t change it…
For many, many years I was addicted to Mary Engelbreit art. I love the bright colors and the youthfulness of everything she does! One day, in probably 1995, I came across this one in one of her planners. I fell in love with this image instantly and what it portrays and the words went on
Thoughts have power.
I don’t know about you but I have days in which this crazy mind acts like it wants to focus on my negative list instead of my positive list no matter what I do. Does anyone else do that? I’ll be saying, “Suck it up buttercup” while my brain is saying, “Yeah, but don’t forget
Not My Timing.
Good morning!! I hope you slept like a baby last night. I didn’t but I woke up too excited to sleep so I don’t mind getting up early when that happens! I am going to ask for prayers today! Nothing is wrong, something feels right, and I want so much to trust my heart, I
I Want an Empty Cup!
I stumbled upon this quote recently and while I’ve heard it many times, it struck me so strongly. I thought about the irony of how I used to feel so empty. That emptiness caused me to feel useless, lost, hopeless… hollow. I thought I could fill it with things, with people, with activities, with work,
There’s No Trophy.
I read an article a few weeks ago called, “There’s no trophy, Ashley.” It was powerful to me! It was based on being a new Mom but the moral applies to all aspects of life! I base this post on Ashley’s article, these are my own words, but I give absolute full credit to the
Revving the Engine.
Does anyone else feel like we’re kind of sitting at a really long red light? Our hands are gripping the steering wheel, we’ve got one foot on the brake and it’s getting tired, the other foot is on the gas pedal revving it a little (or a lot!) and we’re waiting… waiting for the light
