My Bible reading plan had me at the beginning of the book of Joshua when the Covid-19 restrictions began. The Lord said to Joshua, “Be strong and courageous.” Over and over again, setting the tone for the whole book, the Lord says, “Be strong and courageous.” When my daughter’s Irish dance events began to beContinue reading “{Courage}”

{Writing Wednesday: Childhood Memories}
Writing Wednesday is back! As part of my ongoing practice of reflection and growing and sharing, it seemed like the right time to bring back an intentional day of sharing some of what I’ve been writing. In my current practice of journaling, which I hope to share more about soon, I’ve been writing about aContinue reading “{Writing Wednesday: Childhood Memories}”
{A Practice of Reflection}
Welcome to February, friends. This year, I’m trying to be more intentional about taking time to reflect throughout the year. Self-reflection is something that I’ve often done in fits and spurts, or during difficult times in my journey when it’s been forced upon me (here’s looking at you, Summer 2019). This year of “Vision” seemsContinue reading “{A Practice of Reflection}”
2020 Word of the Year
If you’re new around here, you probably don’t know that this is only my 3rd year doing the whole “word of the year” thing. I wasn’t sure I was going to share mine this year. Honestly, I’m still not sure I’m really comfortable sharing my word for 2020. I resisted this word for a awhile,Continue reading “2020 Word of the Year”

“O Lord, you have searched me and known me! You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar. You search out my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways.” Psalms 139:1-3 ESV Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about living a lifeContinue reading “{Fully Known}”
{Life in October}
Happy October, dear readers! I know, it’s been a hot minute since I’ve done a blog post. Somehow I always delude myself into thinking that summer will bring soooo much time for writing, and then *snap* it’s gone. Summer 2019 was interesting. Without diving into detail, it was bookended by by turmoil, frustration, and painContinue reading “{Life in October}”
{Writing Wednesday: Poetry Edition}
A short poem today: It is very disconcerting and more humbling to recall that once upon a time, I was the undeserving and scornful object of most innocent and unrequited affection.
{Writing Wednesday: Write Your Enneagram}
I recently started following author Ashley Abramson on Instagram, and she offers weekly writing prompts for her followers. In an effort to stretch myself with regard to my own writing, I’ve given a couple of them a try. Recently, she did a couple of prompts about writing your enneagram. If you don’t know what theContinue reading “{Writing Wednesday: Write Your Enneagram}”
{Now and Not Yet}
Hello again, friends! It’s been a little quiet around here lately, and I’m sorry for that. Life in the real world has gotten very busy lately! I wonder if you also notice the seasons and cycles of life being busy and then having seasons of rest. Our Spring has been filled with track meets andContinue reading “{Now and Not Yet}”
41.
My birthday was earlier this month (January), which always makes me reflect on the year that has passed. Since it’s the last day of the month, I thought I’d share some of my reflections on 40. 40 was a great year! It taught me a lot about myself, some stuff that was hard, and aContinue reading “41.”
