Falling into a Season of Simple

October 24, 2017

For a good part of a year or two now, I’ve been plotting and planning how I would get back to the mountains for a hike.

The plan was to sweeten my sour mood with chocolate. But given my stranded status, quantity won over quality. I wheeled the … More The Art of Turning Sour into Sweet

How to Answer When Creation Comes to Call

May 30, 2017

Our sweet outdoor kitty, not much older than a kitten herself, suddenly became a mama- not that she didn’t know it – but rather it came as a surprise to us. At 10:30 am there was one. By 11:52, two more. Tiny things that barely looked like cats according to the boy who witnessed the … More How to Answer When Creation Comes to Call

When Nothing Fits {part 2}

May 23, 2017

{for part one, click here… seems I had a lot to say on the same topic 2 years ago…!} Some mornings I stand in front of the closet for way too long contemplating what to wear. It’s not that nothing fits, it’s just that nothing seems to fit together. I tell myself I’m lacking some … More When Nothing Fits {part 2}

The Answer for When You Want to Run Away

May 2, 2017

When was the last time you wanted to run away? Last year? Saturday? Just a few minutes ago when you shut yourself in the bathroom to see what the internet held for you and found yourself reading this post? Yep I get it. Pete: Where’s Cora, Cousin Wash? Washington Hogwallop: [chewing and choosing words carefully as his … More The Answer for When You Want to Run Away

“Your healing will come right on time” were the words I  texted to a friend this morning in her season of hurry up and wait. #mindsetmatters #chooselife #inspirationalwords #motivationalquotes #motivation #motivational #truthbomb #mindsetcoach #healingjourney #quoteoftheday #christiancoaching #faithbasedhealth Life or death? Blessings or curses? Faith or fear? Just another rockin' Friday night over here... reading, writing and being very still after a long week! Are you feeling like a hot mess tonight? I love a good HGTV before and after show. I even fancied myself a DIYer long before the network started when I bought my own fixer upper as a newly divorced gal and ambitiously decided to rip out all the carpet, paint all the rooms and redo the bathroom. Unpopular opinion alert: I prefer the mountains to the beach. Even though we've officially entered beach season, I long for a good hike with a great view. Class of 1998... and class of 2001...and 2022!! If you're wondering about my home decor preference I am all about transformation and reinvention (which is probably why I love life coaching so much 😁)
