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

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
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
I told her to get out!
This little two minute moment from the heart is, well, imperfect in every way including my day old makeup, my look of exhaustion (and the fact it’s vertical and not horizontal is driving me crazy)! But you know, this place is so not about being perfect. Thank goodness for that! We all know life isn’t
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,
Take 30 seconds…
I’m sharing something I learned from reading Brene Brown years ago and it has always stuck with me. Did I do it every day? No. Do I wish I had? Yes. I hope someone reading this will benefit from it and it’s never too late to start. Many days I come home alone and while

Here we go, new year’s resolution time. Sigh…. do I hear some big deep sighs out there? I heard one in here, I am sure. I simply don’t like those three words, New Year’s Resolution, because when I don’t hit them in January, I tend to give myself permission to say, “Oh well, maybe next
Girl in the mirror…
You know, I started this blog post with all this blah, blah, bah, humbug about yuchy stuff I realized can wait for another day! The hard stuff is important but today is not that day. I could not ask for a better way to end a year and start a new one especially on this
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.
He’s still there…
I don’t know about you but over the last few decades, I’ve ridden some highs and lows in my relationship with God. I picture a giant roller coaster full of loops and tunnels and really sharp curves, extremely high hills and drops, the kinds that make you gasp, panic, burst into laughter (or tears!), that
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
I am blind.
I ready this story the other day and it just said something to me so I thought I’d share. You may have heard it before but it never hurts to hear a reminder…. we are so blessed. A blind man sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held
