Life is too short to not be myself…
This advent I’ve been preaching on Joy – hopeful joy, loving joy, unabashed joy, and today will be peaceful joy. Hopeful joy – I shared how we can find hope and joy in the most unexpected places. I had a memorial service the day before and so I was able to share how even in... Continue Reading →
I had a BIG birthday last month. Yep, I am now 50 years young. You may be thinking... "ahh... that's why she's been struggling!" Nope. That's not it. 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 →

The last few weeks, I've been kind of soul searching. Kind of trying to find myself again spiritually. I've been feeling a bit lost... not sure who I am, where I want to be, even what exactly I believe! This soul searching has moved me away from my computer, from social media. I've been reading,...

It's time for my Wonderful Wednesday post this week. It is Wednesday, right? Last week I was a day early! I'm pretty sure I've got it right this week. It is wonderful Wednesday and today I'm grateful for... My son's dog is doing well after having to have surgery late last night. He's such a... Continue Reading →
Yesterday I reminisced about Christmas traditions, specifically ornament making. I have so many other traditions I could share and maybe I will but in going down memory lane I'm reminded that traditions are fun and important too but they shouldn't consume us or close the door on new ideas and traditions. Sometimes as we grow... Continue Reading →
In keeping with my Christmas in July theme, I've been thinking about Christmas traditions. I have so many from when I was growing up that I just adore and have incorporated into my little family's traditions as well and I have traditions that we have started new to my little family. When my son was... Continue Reading →
