Phoenix Year
A phoenix represents rebirth, magic, safety, transformation, permanence, inventiveness and sacredness of life. Rising from darkness into light… As with all, I have reflected on 2022 and what a year it was! It started going one direction then it took a sharp right turn in a completely different direction. I am okay with that because…
Moms vs Dads
This past week I had to watch a young man I love dearly lay his father to rest. Losing a parent is tough no matter what age the child is, but a young man in his twenties should not be worrying about the things he’s had to endure: let alone plan a funeral. Once again…
Acrimonious-ly
I decided to sit at the window, usually I tuck myself in a dark corner and hide from the world, ignored and forgotten. I’m looking out at the dismal foggy day. The cold wind and rain matched my mood. I sat and listened to the buzz of people coming in and out of the coffee…
Family
How do you describe family? Do you only see blood? Do you share your life with those who have come into your life…and stayed? Have you been someone that opened your heart and home to another, then became their family? I have a large extensive family. My dad was number three of six and my…
Understanding the Pain
Now that you all have an insight into me a little more, I am confident in sharing more personal struggles. It isn’t easy to bare one’s soul, it’s even harder to let others in to see and understand the physical pain I suffer from or its effect on my mental health. I have wanted to…
Falling Away Part IV
Legacy “What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others.” -Pericles Last week I turned the big 5-0, where most people dread hitting that half century mark I embrace it with great gusto! Ten years ago I was diagnosed with cervical cancer. I…
Falling Away Part III
Purpose Proverbs 19:21 “Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.” There are 7,868,872,451 [as of Jan 1, 2022 (U.S. Census Bureau)] people in the world and we are told that each have a purpose, a reason to be on this earth. So, what is my purpose?…
Falling Away Part II
The Reluctant Believer “The sky is falling, the sky is falling!” I was born in nineteen-seventy-two, Vietnam was ending and an unforgiving world was getting broken men and women back home, i’m sure for them hell wasn’t too far from thier minds and they probably thought or hoped the end was near. maybe not in…
Falling Away Part I
Innocence Matthew 18:1-5 “Unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.” I had an idea for a piece but I didn’t have all my thoughts together until this past Sunday. It was my second Sunday back in the pews of church. I realized I needed the last two…
That Bump and Grind
I titled the blog the bump and grind of daily life, yet I haven’t been sharing. Haha. I started a new job recently and a crazy thing happens when I do. The weather always does something be it a tornado on my first night, a snow storm making it difficult to get to the place…
