I spent some time today reflecting and rereading where we've been. I felt compelled to start this blog a little over a year ago. As I reflect, it feels like so much longer than that as so much has happened. Much of it is found in coming to terms with a life that I didn't… Continue reading Death of a dream

Goals are a road map
About a month ago, we had goals weekend. During this weekend we were to set goals, personally and for our group. I set my goals weeks before because I felt inspired to do so then. Also, if you've read previous blogs, you know that was probably divine intervention because had I waited until Goals Weekend… Continue reading Goals are a road map
Solemnly Seeking Discernment
I'm in a weird place right now. No, not physically. Physically I'm in my bed, exhausted and ready to sleep if only this pesky brain would shut down. I'm in a weird place in life. If you've been around, you know I have a control thing. And I like to know what's going to happen,… Continue reading Solemnly Seeking Discernment
Label me
I heard this quote the other day and it really resonated with me. I've been convicted lately that I hear a lot of labels in my head. Most of them come from the negative committee that lives there. Some of them probably come from Satan when he's trying to disable me. I know you hear… Continue reading Label me
To just be held…and like it
Oh, friends. I sit here completely exhausted and in awe of everything that has happened and I feel compelled to write it out, to tell you of the amazing mercies of a God who gives us exactly what we need exactly when we need it. This weekend we, my people and I, embarked on Goals… Continue reading To just be held…and like it
The time I almost gave up
The story I'm gonna tell might scare some folk. I'm aware. (ie...Mom...I'm fine. You don't need to pack.). But stick it out to the end; it'll be worth it. Last night I found the bottom of the pit. I told you this week had been bad. I was not feeling well, I was overwhelmed, I've… Continue reading The time I almost gave up
Unbreakable
We are trying to come up with words, my people and I. Words that define us or words that describe us but maybe words that feel too big or too weighty to adequately fit. Words we want to lean into in the coming year. I can't come up with one. So in true fashion whenever… Continue reading Unbreakable
Sometimes I get lost
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
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
