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
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
What if today’s trials…
As most of you know, Facebook reminds us daily of memories. They pop up what happened to us on this day X years ago and sometimes they come at the best possible time, sometimes the worst. Sometimes, as I get more tinsel in my hair, I look at them and think, “Oh shoot… where was
Curve balls….
Aren’t we all trying to find the best versions of ourselves? Well, maybe not everybody, like the disgruntled lady at church Sunday, but hey, even she might be trying when she gets home! I just wish we could reach a point where all this “oh, I’m good” bologna could stop and on the tough days,
She is me. She was me.
This is a journal entry from two years ago today…. the prompt for today’s post. I hope you’ll take a moment to read it and the video will speak for itself. Thanks for being here, love you all!!
The Journey.
Today, I share simply this… I love Mary Oliver and her writings and this one, this one right here, has gotten me through some dark days. In my searching for something today, I stumbled upon it, and I don’t believe anything is by chance. Maybe I’m wrong…. I hope it touches someone else today.
This ride is exhausting.
Dear friends who are here, I could use a little pick me up prayer today. I said I’d be true to myself in this place even when it’s hard or embarrassing… the truth is I am overwhelmed with work, which I am thankful to have, there is the need to make a living, but also
Sufficient.
When a human says something will be sufficient for us, we feel pretty good about it if it’s someone we trust. When He says His grace is sufficient for us (II Corin 12:9), there is no ‘if’ and what greater weight His promise has! We can fill in the blank in any situation on any
Dadgum it, God.
My old friend, this tree. It sits exactly a mile from my house and I drive past it every day. I affectionally call it ‘my’ tree although it sits on the farm of a neighboring family, a family precious to me who would likely move it to my yard if they could. Many days though,
Down the drain.
Earlier today, I stood in the shower and cried. I even cry trying to type this. It is difficult. Some of you who know me may think, when is this girl going to get a grip… oh wait, I think that was me saying that. I just know I created this space to make myself
