I have Failed
I was laying awake the other night, which in itself is weird for me. I am one of the lucky few who have no trouble sleeping. Seriously, the house can fall down around me and I would sleep right through it. I know you hate me, right? You’re in good company. I was thinking about […]

New Year Negativity
Why are so many people passive aggressive and negative about 2022? I have heard so many jokes and comments that this year is going to be a repeat of the last two terrible years. I should have extended my social media hiatus a little longer. So many posts about that whine about how bad 2020-21 […]

A Social Media Sabbatical
I decided to deliberately not use social media for an entire weekend. From Friday afternoon to Monday evening I did not scroll my Facebook time line, tweet on Twitter, tumble on Tumblr, or post on Instagram. I did have a prescheduled post, but it did not require me to log in since it was automatic. […]

Dear Lord…I want to be heard.
Me: Lord, I feel like no one hears me when I speak. I have so many wonderful things I want to share with those I love, especially with my children. I feel so ignored. Lord: Stop talking. Let your actions speak for you. Remember what I told the first disciples, let your light shine before […]

Dear Lord…I want a house.
Me: Lord, I am really wanting that big house. The one with all the space so each one of my teenagers can have their own bedroom, a shop for my husband to tinker around in, a sunroom, a hot tub on a deck, maybe a pool, and plenty of space for books. A great big […]

New Blog Series
Beginning tomorrow I am starting a new blog series called “Dear Lord”. The posts will consist of a summary of my conversations with the Lord. To have a relationship with anyone who is important in your life you need to communicate. It isn’t what we do for each other that is important, but rather how […]

Your Stomach Rules
Yes your heart and mind are the primary driving forces in your life. It’s a balance between logic, intuition, faith, love and trust. You make decisions on the information from the mind and heart in a dance of thoughts and ideas. You might think that is how you get through life and it is for […]

Sometimes I Miss You
Dear Friend No More, Sometimes I miss your face. I miss the history we share, the past that was just us. I miss the fun times with our children when people thought we were all one family. I miss the late night talks over wine and cheesecake. I miss the all day old movie marathons […]
