Why I Almost Lost it in Public
It definitely wasn't the first time, but it still made me mad. Maybe mad is too strong of a word, but I was frustrated and there was a hint of anger under the frustration. My morning started extra early as I was running in a short race with a friend. She was pushing...
A Random Post on Bacon
I woke up to the scent of bacon. Then I found out the word for Five Minute Friday was bacon. The connection to bacon on this day continued when I ran an errand later in the morning. I saw a bumper sticker -- Fueled by Bacon. I've always picked bacon over sausage. I...
Lost in a Sea of Words
Can you believe another month is ending soon? And I've been blogging every single day? I didn't have it in me this time last year. I quit before I started. So glad I finally decided to jump all in and get lost in a sea of words. When I'm writing, I do get lost in a...
Hope Wavering in the Night
Darkness is when the worries grow and hope begins to waver. It's easy to see all the good possibilities before you start something new. And in the middle of the darkness, whatever that looks like...an actual night or maybe a hard situation...in the middle of the dark,...

On Preventing the Energy Crash
This whole year I've been working to heal my body and find freedom within a new set of limitations. It was hard, but I knew it would be worth the effort, worth the commitment. And the hope of feeling better while slowly redefining my limits kept me going. Some of the...
3 Ways Writing Benefits from Silence
Well, I started this blogging challenge more than three weeks ago. I had hoped to write some posts ahead and give myself the freedom to not be stressed over meeting a daily deadline. It turns out the daily practice of writing something and immediately sharing it is so...
When Joy Follows
We aren't left in the middle of confusion for long. If we're seeking a way through a storm and taking each little action step we know is ours to take, then the mess becomes less messy. Maybe this happens as we shift the full burden from our shoulders to God's...from...
The Value of Connection
I have a love/hate relationship with social media. I'm pretty sure the majority of people on Facebook would say the same things at different times. It can be...overwhelming. Too much to keep up with. Too many ads for businesses and companies I've never heard of....
