  • Fingerprint

    I have a new item to add to my most prized possession list.   On second thought, it’s more like the only item on my most prized possession list. I’m in love. It’s a necklace and it deserves an explanation.     It was a gift to me from my darling, dear, precious friend Mrs.… Read more

  • Months ago, I mean months ago, I saw a darling handmade owl costume on Pinterest.  You know Pinterest?  That website that will suck the hours right out of your day? I pinned it on my board entitled Possible Attempts. Around September, I knew I needed to get started, so I gathered the felt and began… Read more

  • Hiking the PCT

    I woke up this morning moaning. The first thing that came into my mind was, “oh my neck, oh my back.  Oh my neck and my back”. It’s nothing more than a mass of knots and pain.  Caused from carrying EK on my back yesterday on a hike in the woods, you know in one of… Read more

  • My Journey as a Writer

    I’m beginning.  I’m still at the beginning.   I’m no longer at the starting line, and I don’t know the route or the way to the finish line.  But I’ve begun. Not long ago, my mom gave me a green folder that had special mementoes she had discovered while cleaning out.  There were notes and… Read more

So later, I was replying to some comments here on my blog and I ended up clicking on something that took… Read more

  • My Heavy Heart Needs Lifting

    Lately I’ve found myself in a very deep place of sadness.  I can’t seem to shake it.  I’ve tried prayer, meditation, positive thoughts, reading His word, music, exercise, even sitting alone and forcing myself to smile for a minute at a time.  I’m about to resort to shopping.  I may temporarily feel better after these endeavors,… Read more

  • My story: Hearts in Rhythm

    Here it is. My first published story. My first story, period. It’s been published as an e-book for Kindle.  It only costs $.99 and I completely picked out that juicy cover picture. Just kidding. I had no say in anything after I sent in the story, including the steamy cover. Gauging from the picture, you… Read more

  • Moment Dwelling

    Last night a physical sickness hit me and I couldn’t sleep because of it. I crept out of the bedroom leaving my husband and EK snoozing soundly, grabbed a down comforter, my robe, and headed to the couch where I still couldn’t sleep. I got my laptop and for a reason unknown,  I began looking… Read more

  • Blogging……finally

    I had to do a little digging for this fun fact, but for the first time since August of 2009, I did not publish a blog post. For 4 years….. 48 months…… every month…… I have had a post except this last month. That’s kind of a sad situation. But it doesn’t have to be… Read more
