All the Favorite Things
The draft folder is down to 4 drafts, which only one is worth keeping, in my opinion. That one draft is entitled, ‘Notes in drafts’, so instead of starting a new post every time inspiration strikes, I make a note on one, continuous page and note the date. I didn’t intend on changing the template…

A Moment of Certainty
I sat outside on the deck with the doggos to observe the happenings in my little world and I’m noticing how differently things are done nowadays almost with a lack of care. The sound of a trash truck is a highlight of a dogs week, so we waited, listened and watched. We could hear it…

In Private
I was recently reminded to be careful who I share my ‘big dream’ with. To others it will sound crazy and they’ll take a step back. The dream in your heart was planted there for you and you alone. It won’t make sense to anyone else, so focus on the steps in private. Here’s an…

Introducing My Son
On Saturday, I met my son and his fiancé for lunch. Some of you don’t even know I have a son, but yes, I had a baby in 1987, when I was 23, and was on track to what I was taught. Find a man. ✔️ Get married and buy a house. ✔️ Start a…

A Second Thought

I like the idea of growing it indoors, but have never tried it before, so there’s some uncertainty. I’ve heard it’s messy when the paper-like blooms begin to shed, but I…

A Greater Plan
I change my mind often and it can be something small like moving the bird bath bowl from one side of the yard, to the other, or something bigger like rearranging all the furniture in my house. Changing my mind produces tangible results, so when the unexpected occurs it’s not so disruptive. I heard once,…

Say Yes to Rest
The learning to rest thing is not easy, but it’s worth every effort given. I see ancient patterns resistant to change because they’ve been with me for a lifetime. As a child I don’t recall taking time for rest. Mama kept us busy because she believed if we had too much time on our hands…

The Sound of Comfort
I’m breaking one of my own rules. The rule was to not drink coffee after 2:00 pm, but here we are at 3:15 pm, savoring a fine cup of cold brew. It was intentional and feels rebellious, but some rules are made to be broken dependent of the day. I woke up early because I’ve…
