  • The Power of Chemistry

    Life is alchemy, and emotions are the fire that turns me to gold. Glennon Doyle – Untamed, pg. 68 It’s hard to feel all the feelings sometimes, but the more we do it, the more we come back to ourselves. Feeling the fire of emotions reminds us of our humanity. The flames can burn hot […]

  • Little Footprints

    Monday morning has arrived. I am doing the usual things… drinking my coffee, letting the dog out, rubbing the sleep from my eyes. A tree is being taken down in our front yard today, so I went out to greet those guys and pay the bill. It feels like nothing is different; it’s just the […]

  • How We Can See

    Good morning! It’s time for my “Quote of the Week” post, where I share some words that have been meaningful to me in some way this week. Sometimes these words are song lyrics or poetry, but often they come from a book I’m currently reading. Sharing them with you and reflecting on them in this […]

  • Quiet Moments

    It’s Monday evening. I’m sitting on our back deck with my feet up, laptop resting on my legs, and our dog wandering aimlessly around the yard. The sun is shining, and some birds are singing. It’s a quiet evening. In the calm of this moment, gratitude rises within me. Not everything about today was easy, […]

    Good evening, friends! Here is the “Quote of the Week” that has been rolling around in my brain these last few days. To me, the discomfort either fades or it turns into something beautiful. You just can’t predict which way it’ll go sometimes. And that’s okay. Whatever changes you are going through, hang in there. […]

  • A Summer’s Day

    A Summer’s Day

    A brightly colored flower against the backdrop of pure green. Fluffy white clouds floating through the ocean of vast blue sky. Thistles threatening, their danger balanced by blooms of pretty purply pink. Trees reaching their arms toward the sky like green giants waking up from slumber. These things and more are seen on a summer’s […]

  • A Friend

    Sometimes I read a book, just to read a book. Just to let my mind enter another world and settle into the rhythm of that space. To see what another experience or time period of life was like. To sink into the story of another and try to imagine myself in their unique reality. I […]

  • 10 Things

    My puppy when I open the door to her crate in the morning. She is all wiggles and smiles. A good cup of coffee first thing in the morning. Fluffy white clouds drifting through the sky on a slight breeze. Birds singing in the trees, proof that summer is here and winter is far, far […]

  • Deep Truth

    Hello, friends! It’s Friday, which means I get to share with you another “Quote of the Week.” I am currently reading about five different books, so it was a bit tricky to pick just one thing that spoke to me. And not to mention it seems like every song I hear has a line or […]
