Simple, beautiful living.
Feels like things are going at warp speed these days, despite the “lazy” days of summer. I think I’m trying to compensate for what is coming. Truth be told I’m dreading August 22nd when we pack up the car and the little girl I fell in love with 18 years ago goes off the school. It seems like it was yesterday she was smelling the
I hope there something here that will help you, make you smile or you can relate to. Truth be told I’m still working on some of these. Here are 50 things I would tell my younger self. Love yourself. Don’t worry so much about what other people think. Be true to who you are. Don’t look for someone else to make you happy. Don’t worry
I have always loved books. I grew up near the Library and loved going and checking out books. I have always loved to read. Although, I have gone in spurts over the years. When I go to Barnes & Noble I have to be disciplined so I don’t leave with an armful of books. I have an ambitious list this year and have started reading already.
I can’t believe it’ll be 2018 soon. You know what that means? A fresh start. Why am I so surprised that time is just flying by? My youngest celebrated a birthday, last year before he’s a teenager, my eldest son is on the verge of driving, my daughter got into her dream college. The reality of being an empty nester doesn’t seem so far off.
Friends, it’s been way too long since I blogged with any regularity! Summer life kept me busier than expected but it’s Fall and I’m feeling inspired! I love when that happens, don’t you? I want to serve you, my readers. So what’s on your to-do list these days? What are you working on? What do you need help with? Meal planning, organizing, faith, health? What
I realize more and more there is so much to learn. You figure it would be the opposite the older you get the smarter you are and there is less to learn, right? I find that to be totally untrue! I feel like there is not enough time to learn all that’s out there. Learning about my faith, business, being my best self. Not sure
Just some random thoughts I tried to connect together… My lilac bush has been a bit of a mystery. It was a gift when our daughter was born. Some years it has lots of flowers, some years not so much. I got to thinking it’s kind of like life, isn’t it? Some years are great, some not so much. Funny how something will strike us
As I get older, I’m working on listening more and talking less. I’m not always good at it but I’m aware. Let’s face it we all like to talk about ourselves, right? It’s human nature. It makes us feel good, important, worthy or whatever words you want to use. I think there is a lot to listening, hearing what someone needs, says and not just
Hello, my sweet friends. Lent is such a beautiful reminder of God’s love for us and I wanted to share this with you today. I was reading Day 12 of Edie’s Lenten study which you can get here. This Excerpt really stuck with me, does it sound familiar? I realized that as simple as it sounds, feeding my people is part of God’s work for
So often when I’m driving I think of all the things I could and want to share with you. I have a hard time because I like to keep my family life pretty separate from my blog and social media for the most part. I have at least a dozen “draft” posts that have never been published because it’s scary to be vulnerable and let
