Good morning to all of you! Our last full week to scurry about before Christmas. I do LOVE this time of year just before the holidays, seeing lights on homes, people excited in a way we don’t see all year. I used to live for the day we closed the office I worked with for

I never believed in fairytales.
I often wake up and have dreams come to mind that I need to get on paper. One night last week, I dreamt this phrase over and over and woke up hearing it, “I never believed in fairytales.” I lay there so confused and then asked myself, “Did I ever believe in them?” As the
And suddenly.
We all go through really tough things, maybe you’re going through something now. It can be suffocating. We wake up wondering how we’ll get through the day, we feel broken, we wonder how to even put one step in front of the other. Tears won’t stop or rarely take breaks and it feels like the
Dear Worry.
You try so hard to plant seeds in my mind, to make me fret about what’s going to happen, where I’ll be in a year, whether things will work out in this way or that. Why? I just want to know why? Is it necessary for you to make yourself feel better? Does it make
God’s love and the sea.
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
Dear Time.
You are a thief. There, I said it. I don’t want to upset you because I so desperately need more of you but it’s true. You go too fast and we can’t keep up. We beg you to slow down and most often you don’t listen. Or maybe we don’t listen. I’m not sure which
Maybe you’re the answer.
Do you feel His nudges, do you hear His whispers? Someone is praying right now. Praying for hope, for someone to reach out, for someone just once to encourage them, to hear them.
Carry your own plate.
Do you ever have moments where you snap at someone and they’ll say where did that come from? Maybe you’re tired from work, or someone hurt your feelings, and you take it out often on the people you love. Why do we do that? Is it because we know they won’t run? It can be
Half-Baked.
I fidget. I rock back and forth in my chair sometimes and I shake my leg when my legs are crossed. My Daddy is the same way. Mama used to have to put her hand on his knee to stop him and we’d have to punch him in church because he’d jingle the coins in
I don’t want much.
The things I want in this life are not complicated or difficult. They’re really quite simple and I long for them. I want them for you too, even if I don’t know you, because I really do just want them for everybody. I want to love deeply and feel loved deeply. I want someone to
No with a capital N.
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
Dear you, notice me.
Dear You Reading This, Notice me today please, I implore you. I’m lonely some days. Some days I watch you walk by or see you close and think this is the day, I get my hopes up, but you keep going, rushing by and not even noticing me. Today, maybe today. I’m not going anywhere.
