Different in Me
My birthday was Saturday, the same day as the solar eclipse. I drove to one of my favorite coffee shops/bakery and ordered a Dirty Horchata to drink and of course, CAKE! Then, I walked next door to one of my favorite shops and fell in love with a candle to bring home. My truck was…

No What If’s
There’s a small, wooden sign hanging above my typewriter. As I type out those early morning thoughts by the light of a new day it serves as a reminder with the words, “Live a Good Story.” I’ve tried my best to live a life of no regrets. It hasn’t been perfect, but instead of regretting…

The Original Plan
By my standards it was a fail, but God didn’t stop me from trying to create the neighborhood directory. I’m learning to release all expectations of outcomes, but couldn’t help feeling a little deflated. Maybe that was the point, to actually feel some disappointment, because I don’t feel disappointed often. Regardless, it’s done and emailed…

82 degrees
I was sitting on a yoga mat in a studio during a sound bath when I first noticed it. The air wasn’t cold, or hot, it was like it was the same temperature as my skin, so I couldn’t even feel it surrounding me and it felt good. As the outdoors started heating up this…

The Community Magician
I don’t recall the precise date, but it was earlier this year, maybe March when God thumped me on the head and said, “Hey Barb! Why don’t you use your technology skills in the real world, like, right outside your front door?!” I didn’t like that idea because it meant stepping out of my cozy…

Sober
No more 9am haircut appointments. Stumbling into the salon, I trust my hairdresser to do what’s best to my hair, but he said something about ‘short’. I’ve been letting it grow out for months, but today we’re back to short! 😂 Sobriety has been on my heart and mind all year. When Covid hit, all…

That Was You
When I first started writing publicly about him it was under the pen name Hercules. When I told him this he replied, “Barbara. It’s from thinking I was Hercules my whole life that I’m in the shape I’m in today.” We laughed, but it wasn’t funny because his body is in pain every day. I…

A New Day
The crashing thunder jolted me out of a deep sleep. It was 4am and I wasn’t expecting a storm, but it had definitely arrived and was making it’s presence known. I crawled out from under the covers, lifted my writing robe off it’s brass hook to slip it around me and went in search of…

Survive the Storm
The storm lasted through the night, but today the thunder and lightning has passed leaving a gentle rain in it’s place. Before the storm arrived, I brought the wreath from the front door inside and I swear with the weather we’ve been having this year this wreath has hung indoors more than out, but thanks…

Put In the Call
Each moment you can choose to practice My Presence or to practice the presence of problems. Sarah Young When we pray those urgent prayers, it’s like putting in a call to God for help. I didn’t know what was happening when the truck pulling a wood chipper drove up and parked in front of my…

Joy in the Morning
The feature photo for this post is my current screensaver on my phone. I replace it periodically, depending on the type encouragement needed for the journey, and I do the same thing with my laptop. There are quite a few songs that helped me walk through hell this year, but when I heard this song…

My Story
I was ready to curl up in a chair and sit a cup of tea in front of me on the book table. That’s my name for the coffee table because it holds more books than coffee. It was the end of the day as I prepared to step away from work when I noticed…
