Life is too short to not be myself…
So, it is this beautiful lady's birthday (no, not mine or DD's, my mom's) and so I'm taking to my blog to brag on her a bit. I couldn't have asked for a better mother. She taught me so much in life. She taught me how to be a good mother, a wife, and a... Continue Reading →
This morning, I rolled over in bed and picked up my phone. I had gotten out of the habit of doing this in early January but as this virus has taken over, I find myself once again, looking for my phone and catching up on the news before I even get out of the bed.... Continue Reading →
Wow, I just knew I’d be back over here in a day or two after my last post but then things went wonky. I started trying to decide whether our little churches should continue to meet on Sunday mornings. We are a predominately elderly (over 70) congregation but we are also very small. I had...

I got an email this morning from one of my favorite people, JJ Heller, with a new song and the lyrics. It's called "An Unbreakable Heart." It's beautiful. JJ Heller has a habit of singing my heart. So many of her songs just go straight to my heart and I feel as if she is... Continue Reading →

It's a million other things that I don't feel like I am able to share on this platform. Turning 50 has actually been great. In fact, it's... Continue Reading →
So I figure gratitude is a great way to start the day and maybe a side effect will be feeling better and less stressed. So... here we go! Cups of hot chocolate. I had a lovely cup last night while watching a little TV. Crochet. I love crocheting. It clears my mind, helps me focus... Continue Reading →
I'm not going to lie. I've been struggling - A LOT. I'm tired, exhausted, and spent. Some days, I think I'm just done. I'm over it. Time to move on. Only it's not that easy, is it? So this morning, as I was feeling all of this before ever even getting out of bed, I... Continue Reading →
Yes, silly as it sounds, that is exactly what I have been trying to do. Disconnecting from technology some so that I can reconnect... with nature, with family, with God, with myself! I've been reading more and just sitting more. I've been visiting more and crocheting more. I've been going through things and letting go.... Continue Reading →
