I met a girl, smart and charming, enthusiastic and sweet. She has a kindred spirit and an old soul; she is energetically encouraging while worlds of wisdom just naturally flows through her. She first caught my eye while I mindlessly scrolled through my social media, as though I had nothing better to do... when I... Continue Reading →
Finding my Purpose…
I have been working on my personal relationship with God a lot this year so far. It wasn't one of my New Year's resolutions nor did I just wake up one morning and say "you know... I really need to pray more..." though I should! I feel I've lost myself somewhere along this journey of... Continue Reading →
I’ve been lost since I lost you…
Losing you Dad, broke me. It is like this horrific, terrible and completely irreparable crack that split me in two. One day I will not cry because you are no longer here but smile because you were here; and always in my heart. - journal entry from 6/2/17 It is hard to explain, I feel... Continue Reading →
Perfect Prudie
Too often I allow my insecurities to get the best of me; especially as of late. Inside my head is a voice; a persistent presence that criticizes, judges, shames and blames me. It constantly seems to be evaluating my worth as a human being and discourages change, evolvition or improvement. The voice is merciless and... Continue Reading →
Life lessons for my son…
Life speeds by so quickly and before I know it my precious little baby is now a big boy. A big boy with thoughts and opinions all his own many times I fight the urge to chuckle when scolding him... well, because my kid is hilarious! I often think of the man he will be one day... Continue Reading →
Christmas 2017
This weekend I began the long process of taking down the Christmas decor; to be honest I haven't been very enthusiastic about it. In fact packing up Christmas tends to make me slightly depressed. Clearly I should have been Mrs. Clause. With all the cookies and hot chocolate my plump figure is excusable. To help with... Continue Reading →
2018!
Monday January 1st 2018... A fresh week, a fresh month, a fresh year. If you want to start fresh or start over, there is no better time... I don't do New Year's Resolutions and I've only toyed with the idea of a bucket list; so the title I am giving my list is Change. I want... Continue Reading →
Rustic Retreat, Ladies Night In
Sometimes we need someone to simply be there. Not to fix anything or to do anything in particular, but just to let us feel that we are cared for and supported. This was heavy on my heart a few months ago; and a few girl friends of mine kept coming to mind. I felt... Continue Reading →
My Love Story
The hubs and I met back when we were in middle school; yes this is a small town story... I was smack dab in the middle of my rebellious streak and he was totally not the "bad boy" image I was into at the time. I kept putting him off until one day I said "I'll go... Continue Reading →
I bleed Type A… seriously, my blood type is A+
I am "aggressively involved in a constant struggle to achieve more in less time". I am impatient, everything is a rush and I aim to think and do multiple things at once. I don't know what to do with leisure time and I believe sleep is unproductive. I am overly critical and I set high... Continue Reading →
