I've been thinking about doing an end of year post, just hadn't sat down yet to start writing. But then an old friend from high school asked for my blog link and I started explaining how this blog goes from one spectrum of opinions to the other. Honestly you can read back and see howContinue reading "Reflecting on Growth: Lessons from 2025"
From Lists to Living: Pursuing a Simpler Lifestyle
I love lists, I love making them, I love checking things off, I love everything about them. Except when they seem to get longer not shorter and I don't finish things I wanted to. I haven't always been a list person, perhaps it's my age, but this year lists have become a part of myContinue reading "From Lists to Living: Pursuing a Simpler Lifestyle"
He is our only hope
Sometimes when I start writing so much comes out that I often forget some of the things I want to get across. Maybe I need to go back old school and start writing outlines first! That happened after I finished my last post, I hit publish then later thought wait you didn't say "insert allContinue reading "He is our only hope"
The Truth
What is the truth and where can we find it? Well I can tell you for sure where you can't find it. You can't find it on the nightly news on your tv, not on Instagram, Facebook and definitely not TikTok. Not YouTube, not Spotify. There is only one place I know that you canContinue reading "The Truth"
Too Much
I have so many thoughts yet also no words it seems. I've had them tossing around like waves in my head since yesterday. I probably won't get them out right but it is what it is. This post (see post script below) summed it up as best as my brain could wrap around it. SoContinue reading "Too Much"
Eat the donut once!
The irony in this picture is coming, don't worry. So for those of you thinking I'm a hypocrite for eating Krispy Kreme but posting all about health...well hang on! I've been eying a Function Health membership for well over a year now. You all know I do most of my health care privately, meaning IContinue reading "Eat the donut once!"
Annual Thermography Update
For the past two years I've posted each time I've been to my annual breast thermography. I usually get some questions about it and I love answering them and passing on the information that was passed to me. We only know what we know and unfortunately that's a lot of the reason we're such aContinue reading "Annual Thermography Update"
Unlearning to Relearn!
This was meant to be just an Instagram post...then it got long...so it became my first blog in a really, really long time! I post a lot about unlearning to relearn. Here's what I mean. Most who know me or have known me for a while know that I've worked in the healthcare field inContinue reading "Unlearning to Relearn!"
Just DO IT!
Shew it's really been a long time since I’ve done this! And fun fact, I "wrote'' this as I walked this morning. I’m walking and I’m thinking all these things in my head and my first thought is how this could be a good post. You know, like just on socials, IG or FB. ButContinue reading "Just DO IT!"
Middle Ground
I truly need to come up with a way to capture my thoughts when they are running through my head rather than only when I can sit down at my desk. The problem is those times are usually when I'm driving or when I'm lying in bed trying to fall asleep! I've still not quiteContinue reading "Middle Ground"
Sober Minded
I'm going to start with a disclaimer. I first had this post in mind several days ago, the words were flowing freely in my brain, the problem is I didn't stop right then and put them down in text. For that I am sorry both for you and for me because I'm certain this postContinue reading "Sober Minded"
A Simple Life
I can see why this homestead “thing” has become such a movement. I can see why so many people enjoy living on a quiet piece of land. I can see why so many want to live the simple life. I know there are plenty of folks out there who may think that idea sounds backwoods,Continue reading "A Simple Life"
Awakening!
May has been an amazing month! Our son got married the first weekend of the month, followed by Mother's Day, then we took a trip to our first ever NHRA race. We've been trying to recuperate from all of that so for the last three weeks we have slept in, skipped workouts and just rested.Continue reading "Awakening!"
Say what..two days in a row?!
Okay ya'll this is definitely a record right here, posts two days in a row. Don't get used to it, I'm sure it will never happen again! But as I've pondered some of what was on my mind in yesterday's post I thought a follow up might be good. So here it goes. I downloadedContinue reading "Say what..two days in a row?!"
Life it is a changing!
All this week I've had a thought keep coming to mind; that I needed to write a post. Simultaneously I've thought about how much I've changed in the last year, the last six months and even the last month. So the words change and the phrase "it's okay to change your mind" have been comingContinue reading "Life it is a changing!"
Please blog it…
Last night I was doing one of my favorite things, sitting on the porch or porch sittin' as we southerners call it. It sometimes feels like a sham when I call myself a southerner because well Virginia certainly doesn't feel very southern anymore but regardless of where I live I'm a southerner at my coreContinue reading "Please blog it…"
December
A new month always gives me such a great feeling. It is hard to describe. It is similar to that of a new ay or a new year. Yet with a new day we often don't appreciate the words of the Bible that remind us of our mercies being new. On the other hand withContinue reading "December"
Looking for green lights….
Hey y'all it's been awhile! I feel like I say that every time, probably because I do, life ya know?! A post is way overdue and today felt like the right time. This post is going to be a bit of a book review too since it goes along with how I'm feeling today. SoContinue reading "Looking for green lights…."
A day in the life of my journal (and my mind!)
Today's post is a bit different, it wasn't designed to be here, it is an entry from my journal. I started journaling in June and for the first time ever I've actually stuck with it fairly consistently five days a week. I'm getting better in my journaling, and by that I mean I'm letting myContinue reading "A day in the life of my journal (and my mind!)"
Beep, beep!
I don't understand what season I am in right now and the more I try to figure it out the more confused I get. Does that happen to you? God is not a God of confusion, I know that, so I know I need to keep listening, keep studying and keep digging to find theContinue reading "Beep, beep!"
