If It Was Up to Me
I’m so uncomfortable over the things God’s calling me to do and it all started shortly after leaving one of my jobs. Why did I have 2 jobs? I didn’t need both financially, but all my years as a single Mom instilled the mindset that I needed one for backup. It’s been a rocky road…

A Good Drenching
I’m done walking down to Lady A’s house to care for her flowers, but I thoroughly enjoyed being asked. She’ll return home soon to a happy yard. She has different gardening tastes than me, so I get to see things in bloom that I don’t normally see. I’m really proud of her though because she…

Lovely
It’s been an odd week. I’ve been disappointed by people, but then others showed up to fill in the gaps of disappointment. As long as we just keep doing the next right thing, it all has a weird way of working itself out, but patience is a must. I want to share how the story…

Farmer Meets Fixer
This week, I was talking with my daughter and we were whining about the arrival of heat and humidity in Texas. I don’t complain often, but when I do it’s to my daughter because she’ll make me laugh about it, or she’ll straighten me out. I didn’t venture outside much in May and when June…

Sanctuary
When my daughter came to visit she walked in the door and asked, “What’s that’s smell?”, but she meant it in a good way. The house smells different on any given day depending on how I live, so I couldn’t really pinpoint it for her. There was a Voluspa candle burning, but there was also…

Trust Your Inner Ding
My morning wakeup call arrives courtesy of an owl. It’s odd that such a muffled hoot will pull me from a sound slumber, but then again it seems fitting. Up until now, I presumed the owl lived in a nearby tree, like in a neighbors backyard to be able to hear it so clearly. This…

The Right Size
In October, during my birthday evening, I drove to one of my favorite shopping centers that I try to stay away from. This center offers one of my favorite stores, World Market, but I decided to treat myself by walking through to see all the pretties. I enjoy every area of the store and Halloween…

A Table from God
There’s a built in bench in the middle of the backyard where I do most of my repotting. Standing at it in the early morning is quite nice, but as soon as the morning sun gets high enough in the sky, that area heats up and it’s not enjoyable. I could stand there playing in…

Give God Room
The meme used for the feature photo made me chuckle when I saw it. Slowly shaking my head these words fell from my lips, “Isn’t that the truth.” The neighbor behind me is preparing to plant a garden. Three raised beds have been in that backyard for more years than I’ve lived here and have…

The Bench
In June I began seeing a therapist. I’d been interviewing coaches all year, but I really wanted someone to help discern God’s plan with me, so my daughter suggested Christian based counseling. Her name is Heather and she feels more like a guide. She tells me I’m fun to meet with and she doesn’t have…

Ritual for Mornings
Your heart and soul know what you need, and what it wants, but the plan doesn’t deviate. To sum it up in one word, I’d choose ‘water’, and it’s a series of small things that water mine. Over the weekend, I made a decision to take time for ritual, especially in the morning. I’d noticed…

Full of Thanks
Hearing the rain made me thankful I followed my heart the day before by lighting a fire in the firepit. I’d been wanting to light one all week, but it’s either been too windy, or rainy to light it. There was a pile of sticks inside the pit collected from the yard over the summer…
