When summer rolls around I always feel overwhelmed with thoughts of how quickly I know it’ll pass. I’m anxious to squeeze every drop of goodness from these long, sunshiny days. Just as my excitement for some R & R rises, the events and activities of others begin to swarm all over my calendar. You […]
Soul-sharing… it’s what I do. But why? And more importantly, what’s in it for you? I value your time, so I’ll be brief with some backstory and then I’ll get on with the take-aways for you, because the truth is, there’s no point investing your time and attention in anything that is not going to better your life […]
Two years ago, I sat in a therapist’s office in the greatest distress I could imagine. Where are You, Lord? If You love me, why would You allow me to suffer like this? I had always been distrustful of the mental health-care system, yet there I was, desperate for whatever help I could get. Our insurance […]
The word “fresh” brings so many good things to mind … I’m a morning person, so a fresh new day is at the top of my “favorite things” list. It’s quiet and filled with opportunity. It hasn’t been fouled up with trouble and failures just yet. Ahhh, fresh new mercies, that’s what I’m talkin’ bout. My feel-good, hope-filled […]
This is my first time getting on board with the idea of choosing one word to focus on for the new year. What to choose??? First, it was helpful to look back at the past few years to sum them up with some descriptive words, to bring a sense of continuity.
It amazes and frightens me how simple words can affect others for good or evil. They literally have the power to heal or destroy. I could go really deep here, but it’s one of those days to keep it short and sweet. You’re welcome. haha! I only want to share one occasion where someone’s simple […]
I’m driving down the road singing my heart out to a favorite song on the radio and all of a sudden my tune is interrupted by static. I live in the mountains y’all. It happens. Ughh. I’m all into a tv show and suddenly the picture starts breaking up. Ughh. I’m on the internet trying […]
Looking, acting & talking tough is not the same as actually being strong. Sometimes the biggest & baddest dudes are the first to scream like sissies. We just don’t know what we’re made of until it’s revealed one way or another. Anxiety and fears, small and large, threaten us all every day—from traffic jams to test results, […]
What went wrong for you this past week? Did anything break down? Maybe a vehicle? A much needed appliance? A career opportunity? A relationship? Your health? It’s kinda annoying when someone reminds us that these things are a part of life. “Thank you Einstein.” We know this, right!? It’s particularly bothersome when it comes from […]
So it’s been on my mind to share some things about a favorite topic– gardening… just a little here & there. Some things you may already know, and some, maybe not. I didn’t grow up having to garden (and I’m fairly certain that most people in my generation didn’t either.) So if we want […]
