News flash: It’s not all about YOU

A lot of people have asked me recently…”What’s the deal? You are a whole different person…how are you so peaceful all of a sudden”? It is true – I am a very different person now. 3 months ago – everything changed. I realized for once and for all…It is not all about me. Depending on [...]

How do you like the new look?

With everything else new, (house, car, piano, and most importantly – a new lease on life)…I thought I need to change-up this site too. New look. New title. New feel. New me. I almost abandoned this site totally and made a new one, but decided against it. It’s still me – just me in a [...]

The White Flag of Victory

Here’s the new quote of the day: Once you finally realize that no one is listening, then you will probably be heard. I used to have so much to say. I am struggling with what to blog next. I am just so peaceful, so thankful, so happy. It’s like I was giant volcano that was [...]

Beauty for Ashes

I had to hit rock bottom to find out that love had been there all along. My life verse: Isaiah 61:3 …and provide for those who grieve in Zion – to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of [...]

My Not So Secret Garden

After taking such a long break, oddly, I am finding it hard to know even where to start writing again. I have faithfully blogged for one year. What started as an experiment ended up being a steady outlet and pouring out of my soul to the world. It needed to be done. I purged all [...]

Rise and Shine

Yeah, sunshine…I’m talking to you. Wake up. When the going gets tough, the tough get going. Or as a friend put it the other day…”They grow a pair”. When you’re getting it from all sides and you’re about to break…what do you do? That is when you find out what you are really made of. [...]

The War That Never Ends

I am helping out at children’s church for a few Sundays. I was pretty excited about it because I get to be in my daughter’s class. But the curriculum and message has got me a bit perplexed. The Bible is a hard book to read. In case you think it is all fluff and stuff…you [...]

My Tattered Blanket of Faith

Love never gives up. Santa Claus is real. Which of the above statements are true? Either? Both? What is a kid supposed to think? What am I supposed to think? What do I tell my kids? One day they will soon know that I have been lying to them about Santa. They have seen love [...]

Kicking the Dysfunction Addiction

If you stand under a bird’s nest, you increase your chances of getting pooped on. I don’t think this is a real ancient Chinese proverb…but it could be… This insightful analogy came to me on a walk around the block tonight with my adorable, stubborn, sweet and spicy 2 year old lovie hobbit. We came [...]
