Finding Answers in the Redwoods: A Perspective on Grief
Lately, I have been praying a great deal about what I should be writing about. I know I haven't been corresponding to you all as frequently as I should. Maybe you haven't even missed it. I guess I worry about that too much. If there is an audience. That they dwindle or are bored of [...]
An open letter to myself…
The rain came down yesterday. Puddles litter the ground and this afternoon's storm is imminent. In fact, the call came through while I was at breakfast with a friend that all after school meetings and activities are cancelled, except high school athletics. So I am still waiting to hear from my son's soccer coach if [...]
Hallelujah anyway
Y'all I saw Jen Hatmaker last week on the Moxie Matters Tour, and I just have to say Hallelujah and Amen. She is such a down to earth, genuine human. She showed up sick and tired and persevered through the evening. She is just one of my favorite humans. The theme of the evening centered [...]
Mediumship and the Bible – an answer to a client question
"If there is no peace, it is because we have forgotten we belong to one another." --- Mother Teresa It has been a month or so ago now, but I had a client send a question that I thought you may have stumbled across as well. Sharing it here, with you, felt right. This client [...]
Hidden in plain sight
Ready...set...run. Ready...set...hide. Ready...set...blend. Ready...set...invisible. These are my default. If you were to meet me or see me out and about after just knowing me from my blog I think you would be surprised. I am the girl who stands away from the crowd. I am the one who doesn't speak up. The first to arrive [...]
Spiritual Awakenings and YouTube
Wednesdays and listening to YouTube can be eventful. I had an epiphany I want to share with you...
I still suck at small talk and other things I probably shouldn’t write out loud!
So I am back on the kinder party circuit. You know the parties where parents stay and mingle while the kids party. Yep; that kind of party. As I watched my kiddos bowl yesterday I struggled with small talk. I did better mind you; I actually sought a couple of people out and chatted, but [...]
The messenger
Vague Amazing Insightful Wise Funny Wordy Transparent Authentic Relatable Lunatic Bully Hate Hypocrite Liar Monster Sinner Fraud Stupid Ignorant Racist Words are so powerful. Each of us has either been lifted or defeated by a few simple words. Since an early age I have had a love of words. I love the shape and sounds [...]
The time when acupuncture broke me
So I have been going to acupuncture for the past few months. It has really helped me. I know some people think it is whack and that I should probably see a real doctor, but after years of seeing doctors with no avail; I followed my soul and it led me to Anna. Plus, I [...]
Permission to say no thank you
It's Friday afternoon and I am beyond looking forward to the weekend and a little relaxation. As I sit in this safe, cozy chair I want to bare my soul to you. See you my dear readers are family and friends who support me. You have come to mean a great deal to me as I [...]
June and July Lessons 2014…
Summer is one of my favorite times of year for so many reasons. This summer has not disappointed that is for sure. I have taken some time to reflect on June and July and what I have learned. I hope these lessons are meaningful to you as well. 1. Family pictures are worth it [...]
Today…
Today I am thinking lots of things and my blog post might be a big, jumbly mess. But I won't apologize...if you didn't want to read it you wouldn't. (I am trying to stop apologizing so darn much). Today started with me waking later than usual which meant no run, which meant the nagging about [...]
Round here…
I lose my voice from time to time, because I start over thinking things. I have been trying to make this blog a better place for readers to stop. I want this blog to mean something to someone else; to have purpose and so I have been really struggling with the purpose of this blog. [...]
