This morning, I was doing exactly what I did not want to be doing: scrolling through social media. As hard as I strive to avoid the negative noise on social media, it always seems to pop into my feed. So, I deleted my social media apps from my phone. Taking a break from it will [...]
Home.
I took a break from writing. The ideas were in my head, but the words just would not flow. I wrote them down anyway. Saved them. And moved on. Consulting the ultimate Creator, I realized He was telling me to focus on other life events and experiences and He would let me know when it [...]
When God Throws You a Curveball and You Hit it Out of the Park.
God has thrown me a bit of a curveball and I’m kind of laughing about it this morning. I laugh because it has taken me a while to realize it is a new direction, even as I have been walking the new path He laid out in front of me. I’ve always been a bigger [...]
Friday Five(ish) – Things I Love Right Now/Am Doing Right Now.
Decluttering is my middle name right now. What I am decluttering: Things. My sister and I have spent the last three years going through most of Mom and Dad’s house. We have donated a lot but have also brought things home. Me, especially. Way too many things so I am in a constant state of [...]
New Habits.
It’s all about the preparation for me. The setting up. The desk, the writing instruments (of which I am very picky), the paper, the online programs, the candle, the coffee, the lighting, the chair, the books...oh, so many, books! The writing? Not so much. Recognizing that you have a problem is the beginning of healing, [...]
Friday Five – Things I am Loving Right Now.
Catching up with life friends. Those friends you have known forever. The ones who text you after months as if you have been texting all day, every day. Asking questions about how to make sauce from your plethora of garden tomatoes. The friends who have never let you get away with a thing and their [...]
August 1st…a few days late.
I wanted to have an August 1st post ready to go on, well, August 1st. But when God sends September weather on August 1st and 2nd to the hazy, hot, and humid Commonwealth of Virginia? Ya gotta go with it. We spent hours on the boat; found an awesome diner in Downtown Lynchburg and had [...]
July 2023.
We have had a busy summer.
Reflections from a Smith Mountain Lake Porch – Part 3.
The last few months have been crazy, busy, good. Lots of family time, lots of friend time, lots of fun time. I finally met our new (part-time) next-door neighbors. I am obsessed. In a good, not creepy way. They are a young couple (who isn’t young compared to us these days!). They have twin 5-year-old [...]
Memorial Day Weekend – 2023
Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends. John 15:13 (NASB) I’m still not unpacked from my week at Dad’s house. I periodically pull something out I need, stare at whichever bag I took it from, and contemplate, “Unpack now…or later?” So far, the latter continues to [...]
