TGIF – Gratitude Friday
Getting back to the Friday posts on gratitude that ended when the A to Z Blogging Challenge began. 🙂 The top three things I'm especially grateful for this past week: 1.) Thursday afternoon off work to snuggle up with a light blanket and Roxie (my dog), a cup of tea and a good book while listening… Continue reading TGIF – Gratitude Friday
Vacation Highlight
Last week I disappeared off of the blog radar for a spell while I went on vacation. When I went back to work this past Monday I had three people ask me what the highlight of my vacation was. The same answer to all three people resulted in the same response from all three. Clearly these… Continue reading Vacation Highlight
A Mother’s Day Thanksgiving
I've been a lazy blogger the past week. That being said, I've been breathing new life into revising my novel, The Inheritance, and I'm seeing the final touches being completed in the very near future. Near, as in by mid-June. 🙂 My husband and I are taking a much needed vacation this next week--leaving in the morning--so… Continue reading A Mother’s Day Thanksgiving
“Y”is for…
Practicing yoga has woven its way through various aspects of this life I live. The parallels are multiple in number, and I believe it’s more than mere coincidence that it’s called “practicing” yoga. It’s a discipline that allows an opportunity to practice becoming better–at yoga and at living life. Each stretch and pose, as uncomfortable and awkward… Continue reading “Y”is for…
“S” is for…
S.P.E.A.K. This past Saturday I participated in an event near and dear to my heart. The Youth Commission in my city hosts a S.P.E.A.K. (Suicide Prevention Education Awareness and Knowledge) week each year and one of the events is a 5K walk, which was Saturday. Having been touched--and devastated--by suicide with a friend several years ago… Continue reading “S” is for…
“R” is for…
One of my very dearest friends named her dog Rahab. One day when we were out for a walk, she was telling me the story of how her son thought it was terrible that she named the dog Rahab. "Why is it terrible?" asked my friend. "Mom!" He looked at her as if she were… Continue reading “R” is for…
“Q” is for…
I love quotes! They contain so much wisdom, motivation and inspiration in so few words. They prove that less is often better when it comes to words, and that those few words can pack a powerful punch. My ten favorite are: 10.) “The way to happiness: Keep your heart free from hate, your mind from… Continue reading “Q” is for…
“P” is for…
I created a new page on my blog for those wishing to participate, to write prayer requests, for me and anyone who reads the page. If you want to request prayer for someone you know who's going through a difficult time, emotionally or physically, or would like to request prayer for yourself, it's an open place to ask. "For where… Continue reading “P” is for…
“O” is for…
I try to live life openly. Open-minded. To new ideas. To those whose opinions are on the opposite end of the spectrum than mine. To an alternate, unfamiliar way to reach an end to something. Open to new experiences, and revisiting old. Open to change. Open to accepting the unacceptable, loving the unlovable. I try to… Continue reading “O” is for…
