Tomorrow is the day. One of those days that children wait for anxiously to come to fruition. By now, they have their costume picked out and are ready to head out of the door to get as much candy as possible. At least that is how I remember it from my childhood. But I cannot say the same thing for my daughter. You see for years I was on a Halloween boycott of sorts. It's a little long and complicated so I'll spare the details of how my religious ideas crossed that day off the calendar for ... Continue Reading...
A Defining Narrative
Hello, Sweet Readers! I hope this post finds you on Monday gearing up for another week... Words. I love words. Back in the day of hard back dictionaries, I would sit and turn the pages and just read words. Words have meanings and meanings are not necessarily neutral. How words are used can build up or tear down. They can grow great things in a person or not. Words create a narrative and words help to define you and me. Have you thought about the narrative that generally runs through your ... Continue Reading...

My Twinning Heart Friend
Friday is all about favorites in the blogging world. In the past, I've written a series called Whatever is Lovely and Faves on Friday.

Well, since I haven't been writing about my favorites lately, I thought I would get back at it. It's always been one of post I most look forward to writing. Today I'm doing a ... Continue Reading...
Pray for Texas
Friends, I know you know about what's been happening in Texas. The magnitude of the destruction and barrage of images revealing the enormity of the suffering is heartbreaking. Truly, I love Texas! It is not my place of birth nor my first home but I can't image living any place else while I'm moving and breathing this side of Heaven. This week I have been touched by the outpouring of my fellow Texans as they came to the rescue of their neighbors. Tragedy has a way of making the playing field ... Continue Reading...
54 Things I’ve Learned in 54 years!
Yesterday, I turned 54 years old. I have to admit that I wasn't excited about this birthday. It wasn't so much my age as where I am in life right. I haven't been in a good place for awhile on lots of levels which made me just want to ignore the day. I sorta did that but I also spent some time in reflection. This is not a hard thing for me. As an introvert I can easily travel inside and try to dissect life and what's really brewing in my heart. I thought I would share some of those things that ... Continue Reading...
