Take a moment from the daily chaos to breathe. Taste the beauty of nature and bask in the glow of tranquility. "I thank you God for this most amazing day, for the leaping greenly spirits of trees, and for the blue dream of sky and for everything which is natural, which is infinite, which is… Continue reading Timeout Tuesday

Thankful Thursday – The Lives and Health of My Boys
I clearly remember the phone call I received from my 16-year-old son while I was nearing the end of a workday. "Mom, I saw someone shot. They aren't moving. Mom, there's so much blood." And the line went dead. I attempted to call him back immediately, my fingers numb and not even feeling the… Continue reading Thankful Thursday – The Lives and Health of My Boys
T.G.I.F. – On Saturday
I'm a little late but didn't want to let this post slip through the cracks. There's so much to be grateful for that it seems a shame not to express it openly. My top three for the past week: 3.) Being a Minnesota girl, now living in Colorado for 17 years, going to the Minnesota… Continue reading T.G.I.F. – On Saturday
Healing Words
Today, July 8th, marks eight days of celebrating life, and each day hereafter, yet another. A year ago, I posted a blog entry on life circumstances that have made July a very difficult month to get through. I had mentioned how each year I would find myself holding my breath just waiting for July to end,… Continue reading Healing Words
Prioritizing Priorities
I've come to realize--again--that I'm not super-human and have conceded to the fact that I need to prioritize my life a bit. I'm confidant I'm not alone in that I tend to keep taking on more and more, often without realizing it, until life becomes a little bit of everything done somewhat well and nothing done well. There's… Continue reading Prioritizing Priorities
A Walk in the Park
Yesterday morning after I finished my run, I walked out on the pier that graces the park, as I usually do, to enjoy the view while I cooled down, stretched, and practiced some end-of-workout meditation. Usually, I'm alone on that pier because it's typically early in the morning. Yesterday morning was one of the rare occasions I wasn't alone out… Continue reading A Walk in the Park
T.G.I.F. – Gratitude Friday
The top three things I'm especially grateful for this week are: 3. The songs Need You Now by Plumb and Oceans by Hillsong UNITED playing back to back Thursday morning on Pandora at the precise moment I needed to hear them, proving the Hand of God in my life. A blessing indeed! 2. The proof of… Continue reading T.G.I.F. – Gratitude Friday
The Rainbow After the Rain
This morning as I was doing my "prayer and meditation time," finally feeling better after having a flu bug that knocked me down harder than I can ever remember, I thought about something my sweet grandma said I told her numerous times years ago. "Grandma, I like getting tummy aches 'cause it feels so good when… Continue reading The Rainbow After the Rain
Praying for Strangers
A while back I read the book Praying for Strangers: An Adventure of the Human Spirit by River Jordan, and at the time I had no idea how that book would impact my life. The book is about the 2009 New Year's Resolution of an introverted woman whose sons were about to go off to war. Her quest… Continue reading Praying for Strangers
TGIF – Gratitude Friday
The top three things I'm especially grateful for this past week: 1. My sweet nephew, a man of God, integrity and a heart patient miracle, sailing through a serious brain surgery, sense of humor intact. He's my inspiration. 2. Finishing the final revision of my novel, The Inheritance. OMGoodness! I'm not sure if I'm thrilled, scared to… Continue reading TGIF – Gratitude Friday
