No matter how much time I spend at the ocean, I am constantly amazed at it’s vastness, it’s endless appearance, the reflection of the sun on the tops of the waves, just all of it. It terrifies me and exhilirates me all at the same time. This week, we had a morning that the tide

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
Those Darn Daffodils.
So I want to tell you about something that happened a while back. As I type it, it seems silly today, but at the time it was a big deal for me. My sweetheart and I have a crazy story, go figure. Some of you know parts of it, none of you know all of
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.
Don’t change.
I am a doggone likeable person. I mean I AM realistic and know everyone doesn’t or can’t like me in the whole wide world, that’s not possible, but to my face at least, I don’t know of any enemies. I just kind of get along with everybody and I think I’m nice to everybody. But….
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
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
This Little Light of Mine.
I don’t know about you but I have this little voice inside of me…. wait. Let me start over. I actually have lots of little voices inside of me! But I think we all have one that tries to hold us back from doing things or that says “don’t say that, it’ll make somebody mad”
Take a Deep Breath.
This week has brought even more adjustments to the stay at home orders in most areas and with them a new wave of emotion. You know, when this first started, there was a little fear of the unknown, sure, but we were all trying to make happy out of havoc, posting funny memes, finding cute
The Person in the Pew.
If I’ve learned one thing (among a thousand) it’s that you never know what that person in the pew is going through on Sunday morning. It may be the person a few rows ahead or a few rows back, it may be the person just to your left. It doesn’t matter, many people walk through
Outside looking in.
While I want so desperately for this to be a positive space all the time, life just isn’t like that. Things happen, not always good things, but they make us who we are, right? And if you’re like me, memories can be triggered in an instant that remind us of times that maybe we want
