The Value of Connection

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....

Community In the Wave of Hard Things

Community In the Wave of Hard Things

Hard things seem to come in waves. And in the middle of those seasons, emotions go up and down too. Lately I've had days where I feel more messy and confused. I'm looking for that clarity I mentioned yesterday, but it just doesn't come...at least not in ways I expect....

On What is Temporary

"Whatever's in front of me, help me to sing Hallelujah" I just had my music on and these lyrics stood out. Whatever's in front of me...guess that includes the storm I wrote about last week. But how do I do that when the hard situation still exists? How do I sing...

Honor the Space You Need

Well, friends, I didn't want to write a post today. It's the first time during this challenge that I really thought about skipping. I'm tired and my brain feels foggy. It's not from the weather because it was bright and sunny. I decided over the weekend that I wasn't...

When the Cold is Worth It

I came back home frozen. My whole body was stiff and that made me even more unsteady on my feet. I could still move, but I told my dad not to let go. He helped me back into the house. Slowly. Because my legs couldn't go very fast. They needed time to thaw. I went to...

Beyond the Green Shirt

Beyond the Green Shirt

In all my sorting so far, I couldn't give away this one green shirt. I went looking for it tonight before I remembered I wore it the other day. Fall is the time of year when this shirt cycles in and out my closet every week. It's my favorite for this weird...

Freedom in Unlikely Places

I laughed when he first walked up. Lunch was almost over and we figured he must not be working today. He was on his way out the door, but he sat down for a minute to catch us up on his family. It was a funny moment because he didn't know we were coming and we didn't...

When You Can’t Fly

When You Can’t Fly

The past few months have quickly disappeared. I filled my time with the Do Summer challenge along with the normal, everyday things. They say the older you get, the faster time flies. I don't want to talk about the end of another year yet, okay? Can we stay focused on...

Patience Mixed with Action

Patience Mixed with Action

After a rough start to the week yesterday and just feeling stuck in the middle of a hard situation, I took more time to rest and seek clarity on what to do. I didn't find answers yet, but I took one step. I tried a direction because I still don't know which way is the...
