38 years ago today, a deranged man walked up to perhaps the most talented singer/songwriter there ever was….and blew him away in the doorway of his NY City apartment building. Time stopped for me that day. It was the first death that I experienced of a loved one. The first time I was personally affected…
Today, in Yoga class, I was given a “truth bomb” card. It came from a stack of cards with various messages on them. The one that I got today blew my mind- because it was PERFECT for where I am right now in my journey. It said this: “Pleasure is Power”. I shared this thought…
I should probably refrain from writing this until I have heard the sermon (which was supposed to be amazing)….But I am thinking about why people love weddings so much. I don’t know about everyone else …..But this is why I do….. It’s not the flowers, or the fancy dresses or the beautiful music or the…
Watching a friend’s post of a Lynard Skynard concert from the 70’s. Looking at all of the beautiful young people in the audience…..-all I can think is. “Wow- those are all old people now.” I can’t get over how fast it happens. It is so weird. In my head, I feel almost exactly like the…
The AWESOME book by Shonda Rhimes -The Year of YES- chronicles Shonda’s process of getting out of a rut and saying yes to things that scared her.

I reached 152 FB likes this week!!!! (And only 38 of them are people who actually know me.) Thank You everyone!!!❤️❤️ A few years ago, I decided to get brave and put my writing out in the universe. I had been writing in my journals since the seventh grade. I had always dreamed of telling my…
I got to tell a couple of stories in church the other day-one to a large room full of people, and one to a smaller room full of people. One was about my favorite childhood author, C.S. Lewis, and the other one was about Lewis’ words that are printed on this photo that I am…
Thinking a lot lately about music and memories…… I have been doing some more sifting this week. I found some old CD’s that I haven’t listened to in a long time. I’m sitting in my room, drinking coffee and looking out the window, at these perfect little puffy cotton clouds sitting in a bright blue…
I am sitting here this morning, thinking and praying about how amazing it feels to be un-stuck. Two and a half years ago, I was STUCK. Stuck, in so many ways. In addition to being stuck in the caregiving story I described a few posts ago, I was stuck in my ministry journey, stuck in…
