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

On the porch.
I can’t go back and undo the mistakes I made as a mother. I can’t unwind, redo, spend more time, hug more often, be more patient, be more present. I so envy those of you with little ones who have the chance to start today …. if only I could go back. I
I Am a Woman.
I love old hymns. I mean a lot. While stations like K-Love do make me happy, there is something to be said for the hymns many of us grew up with, they move me in a way that contemporary music can’t at times. This week, in my efforts to read more, I stumbled upon an
I hope you know.
Today…. I hope you know that whatever you’re feeling this moment is okay. I hope you know that if you’re afraid, there is someone much bigger than us who has your back. I hope you know if you’ve done something you’re not proud of, there is unending grace. I hope you know you’re not behind
Right Side of the Bed.
“Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues but the parent of all others.” – Marcus Tullius Cicero As I scroll Facebook and IG, I read and feel anxiety and sadness between the lines and the laughter. Thank God for laughter but the anxiety feels as much like an epidemic as the virus. Quite frankly, if we
What color is your cape?
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
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
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
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!!
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
Present Over Perfect
Anyone who knows me knows I’m always searching, for what I’m never sure, but it continues daily.
