It's funny. Sometimes I'm downright in love with my life. Granted, it's been a little extra challenging these last several months and I've allowed myself to be bogged down by that. I've found myself falling into old familiar habits of trying to control all the things that are uncontrollable. I found myself feeling very alone… Continue reading Sometimes I get lost

I’m tired of character
I'm about to say something that some of you might not like, but it's a question I have today. And, honesty always. How do we keep praying for miracles when they just don't seem to ever actually happen? So many times in the past people pray with expectations for healing and yet that person dies… Continue reading I’m tired of character
Goals and things
The last couple of days have been about evaluating 2018 and looking for ways to go into 2019 better. I know; we're already in 2019. But, not by much and I'm learning that good things take time. In about 3 weeks, my people and I will embark on "Goals Weekend", a weekend to learn, get… Continue reading Goals and things
What did work
Yesterday, I shared my list of "What Didn't Work in 2018" (an idea from Emily P. Freeman). So today I'm going to show you the companion list: What Did Work in 2018. Because I'm a big fan of symmetry and even numbers (and the rest of the neurotic things lol) there are 10 just like… Continue reading What did work
What didn’t work
Two blogs in one day. The new year will do that to you I guess. I am on a mailing list and got a December letter from Emily P Freeman today. (She's an author and podcast person. I really like her a lot.). In this letter, she made a list called "What didn't work in… Continue reading What didn’t work
Let it go
Well the year ended. It's officially New Years Day. I spent last night the same way I spend most New Years Eves...with the dog. Before you get sad, I work at a job where you are required to work either New Year's Eve or New Year's Day so it is what it is. This morning… Continue reading Let it go
Empty places
I saw a post today about being in the middle between Christmas and New Years, when you don't know what day it is or what you're supposed to be doing. Healthcare has no holidays, so we don't really have that, but I get the sentiment. I have reached the point in the holiday season where… Continue reading Empty places
Where are we going?
I was reading Everyday Holy by Melanie Shankle, and she talks about the need to stop asking God why things are happening and instead asking Him where we are going. But it's so much easier to ask why. I think when I think about the question, where are we going, I almost want to pose… Continue reading Where are we going?
Still learning (again)
The end of the year always brings contemplation. What did we learn this year? What do we hope to do next year? As one of my people and I start planning our "Goals Weekend" for January (more on this later), I think it has made me think more about this year and where we're headed.… Continue reading Still learning (again)
A little faith is what I need
I woke up this morning, still with the bronchitis that won't die, but oddly enough that feels more normal than anything else that has happened lately. Every winter without fail at some point, it will happen. My lungs rebel and I get the respiratory crud. I decided this morning that I was not going to… Continue reading A little faith is what I need
This Season....
