thankful thursday: vision board party

I am very thankful for the friends that came out for my Vision Board Party last Saturday.  This was the first time that I ever lead a group in the process.  I’ve done a vision board for the past three years as a guest of my friend and neighbor, Wendi.  She had co-hosted a party…

not just another year

I had an anniversary pass that I’d like to acknowledge.  Last year, July 29th to be exact, I started writing (somewhat) regularly on this blog.  As I reread Where Have I Been? The answer is right where I started.  I’m still officially an unemployed, stay-at-home mom.  My kids drive me crazy, my sanity sometimes is…

Love is as strong as death, as hard as Hell

The Gargoyle by Andrew Davidson

You know in movies (or in real life if you’re a romantic…) when you’re in love and you want to sing a silly tune all day… (maybe from a musical that featured Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney or maybe The Beatles’ “Good Day Sunshine”)…yeah, corny love like that.  Well, I’m in love with a book. …

Where Have I Been?

Where am I these days? Am I lost? No. Well maybe a little bit. I’m working on finding my way through a storm. Am I okay? Yes, but weary. I need to find my peaceful waters. I am close. I can feel it. So, how do I get there? Writing. I can feel my way…
