I feel like every time I come to you there is an apology somewhere in my post...and here I go again. I've been absent for awhile, for that I apologize. Each time I post I say I'm trying to do better, then I don't, for that I apologize. Life has not been easy the lastContinue reading "Apologies…."

My best friend sings a song called "Patience". "Lord teach me to trust and lean on your will. Should I get in a hurry please help me stand still. Patience is a virtue and a weakness of mine. I struggle with the outcome of time; would you build up my faith, teach me to wait."Continue reading "Patience"

I came across this in my notebook today. I wrote in on 11/5/2018. I remember it well. I was sitting in a training class in North Carolina "living the dream" except I wasn't. I didn't realize it yet, but I was unhappy, not just in the job but in the entire experience. I wrote thisContinue reading "How to live your best life."

To say that the last month has been hard would be a major understatement. As you all know from my last post my father in law passed away unexpectedly last month. That's crazy to me to even write, "last month", time goes by so incredibly fast. As a wife, watching your husband mourn has gotContinue reading "A devastating month…but the testimony is coming!"

Hey y’all, sorry it’s been awhile again, I think probably my longest break so far. I would imagine most of you know why. My last post was on March 20th and the first sentence read “It is amazing the roller coaster that one can go on from day to day in life.” Wow does thatContinue reading "Reality Check"

It is amazing the roller coaster that one can go on from day to day in life. This week did not start out so good for me, if we are talking calendar week here. Sunday I was sad. Just plain sad. There was no real reason, explanation or event that set it off. I wokeContinue reading "Just keep swimming"

Happy Monday ya'll! I wanted to just type a quick post to let you know a few things I'm learning this week. I know, I know, it's just Monday. But, I worked all weekend, so for me, I feel three days into the week already. As you may know if you read my last post,Continue reading "Things I’m learning…."

How in the world has it been 8 days since my last post?! And that was just a quick post of an unexpected snow storm. I know it's not that big of a deal, but it really bothers me. I really, really wanted to be better with this blog about getting content out there. IContinue reading "I’m sorry!"

Here's a little taste of life on the mountain today. Another surprise snowstorm, that was supposed to amount to nothing! The first poc is from about 230pm, the second is from just now, 520pm!

Since I shared yesterday how frustrated I was with the rain, snow and mud I thought I'd share a positive note about all of that. The pics below are from my drive home yesterday morning. The sun was rising, the roads were drying, theyl sky was beautiful AND if you look closely you can seeContinue reading "Bless the mess!"

I don't know about ya'll but I am tired of rain!! Where I live it feels like it has rained non-stop for months. Now in reality that is not the case, though we have definitely had a lot of rain. We've had breaks in there with some sunshine and even warm temps, but we've hadContinue reading "Wet and Muddy"

I don't know about y'all, but I love music, almost every genre. I love the music, the lyrics, all of it. Whether I'm feeling happy or sad, having a great song to listen to just fills me with happiness and gets me through. I thought I'd share my favorite song of the moment, it's aContinue reading "Music for the soul"

Several years ago I tried out this whole blogging thing, it didn't go very well. I mean I wrote some great posts, people liked them, they got shared. The problem is that I had no consistency, that is something that I'm trying to change this go round. I haven't done a great job of thatContinue reading "Lord that mouth!"

First off I want to just say that I never plan to use this forum to promote my side gig! I will talk about it sure, but I don't plan to push it on my readers. I am however going to use it today just to push out what a great opportunity I have available,Continue reading "A great opportunity!"

Here's a little recipe my husband and I created the other night. It was delicious, hope you enjoy! Peach Sangria (Makes 1 gallon) 1.5 liter of Moscato1 liter of Sprite1 cup of Peach Vodka1 cup of Orange Juice1 orange cut into slices Stir together well then serve over ice.

Three years ago my husband and I decided to change our health. Not because we'd been given any sort of diagnosis or told by a doctor that we needed to, we just knew we did. We weren't over weight, we didn't want to train for a marathon. We just wanted to prepare for the factContinue reading "The roller coaster ride of better health."

Bored. That's one of the key words I would use to describe how I feel on this night shift schedule. It is unbelievable how quickly you can tire of watching tv and scrolling social media. I absolutely love reading and have actually issued myself a pretty huge reading challenge for 2019 but even that doesn'tContinue reading "Bored!"

Good morning y'all! I am currently sitting on my sofa looking outside at big, beautiful snowflakes falling from the sky! I am sure by the time most of you read this everything outside your windows will be white, at least those of you near to me. Just an hour ago I was quite disappointed. YouContinue reading "Encourage Yourself!"

When I started this blog I'd really hoped to write more, possibly even every day. But it's hard, and almost impossible, I'm just being real ya'll. I think of things I'd like to write about, I even write them down, but it's still hard. Most of the time when ideas for posts are going throughContinue reading "Stick with me please!"
