It’s the Happiest Time of the Year!!

I don’t know about you, but I have noticed a lot of agitation building in the air. I can feel it. I think that everyone has had about enough with Covid and its repercussions. All around me, I am seeing tempers flare and people not being as kind as they should be, especially at this...

Progress over Perfection

When God created the world, He said, “It is good.” He didn’t say it was perfect. If God is good with progress over perfection, why aren’t we? We won’t ever be perfect in any aspect, so why do so many of us strive for it?  That was my waking thought this morning. I know, I...

Get Out of Your Own Way!

There are certain habits that all of us have that steal precious moments from our lives. I am talking about those whispers we hear in our head that tell us, “Please, stop,” when we binge eat those chips, light up a cigar or pour that second or third glass of wine. We don’t listen to...

On Independence

A few years ago, I broke both of my ankles while hiking in Costa Rica. While the circumstances that led up to it all happening could be a whole book in itself (let’s just say it involved a swarm of wasps and a 6.7 magnitude earthquake), what happened after my accident is actually the much...

Random Thoughts on Marriage

It’s raining hard, the Christmas tree is up and beautifully decorated and the fire is flickering in the background. I have The XX playing in the background. The sun is just about to rise. Bella and Muffin are snuggled next to me. I am smiling. It doesn’t get much better than this. Weird thoughts pop...

This Precious Moment

Buddha once said, “When you realize how perfect everything is you will tilt your head back and laugh at the sky.”  I feel like I have been doing a lot of that lately. Looking up and laughing and smiling. Acknowledging that God really does have this whole “life thing” figured out. Not just for me,...

I Am Overwhelmed

It is really hard for me to even come up with the words to describe what I am feeling. Relieved, thankful, overjoyed, grateful, happy, ecstatic, on top of the world…overwhelmed. I have moments of profound emotion that just takes over my soul and makes me cry. Not because I am sad…oh it is just the...
