"Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life." - Proverbs 13:12 I did it. I packed up my life, loaded as much of it into my car as would fit, and drove across country with my mom. Back to a place I never thought I'd call home again. … Continue reading #LovelySunday – HOPE

Living the Dream
It has been so long, I feel, since I have written. It has been about a month...and I feel a little like I have fallen off the face of the planet. I have spent the month buried in books, finishing paper, wrapping up paperwork, terminating with clients, training at my new job, and teaching kids … Continue reading Living the Dream
The Beauty of Rejection
I have experienced a lot of rejection in my life... And, I'm not just talking about from guys, although, that has been a lot of it. Schools, jobs, friends, even fellow Christians. And, it sucks. I often wonder...What if...? What if this person hadn't rejected me? What if I had gotten this job? What if … Continue reading The Beauty of Rejection
Flourish
Any Sunday I get to go to church, is a restful, Lovely Sunday. Today was no exception. As I settled in my seat mere seconds before service started, I noticed a visitor on the front row (I go to a very small church where we all pretty much know each other). This new comer was … Continue reading Flourish

#WorkItWednesday
It's the 3rd Wednesday of January...time for my first #WorkItWednesday. In November 2011 I weighed the most I have ever weighed in my life. I stepped on the scale we had in the office, saw what the scale had to say, & almost cried. I was terrified by the number on the scale. How had I … Continue reading #WorkItWednesday

New Beginnings
Here we are, a little over an hour from the new year (here in PST). And, the prompt over at Finding the Grace Within is quite appropriate: BEGIN. We take the opportunity at the start of each new year to find new beginnings. Before I look at the possible new beginnings headed my way in 2015, I am … Continue reading New Beginnings
Between There & Here
Somewhere in the last year and a half, I lost her... I lost who I was, and who I was working to be. I became so consumed with school, work, switching jobs, more work, more homework...and just the waiting. I've been exhausted. I've been making excuses. I've stopped looking. But, now, no more … Continue reading Between There & Here
