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…
My plan was to shut off social media for the week that I am on Cuttyhunk…..but the stories here are just too good not to tell. Since I use my blog and Facebook as a type of journal to record memories for my own use, I decided I will limit myself to a post a…
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. It is extremely inspiring, hysterically funny, crazy truthful and vulnerable. It is definitely making me think about ways that I can add some SPICE into my life. So…
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…
Next to my bed, I have a Wall of Inspiration. It reminds me of things that I believe…..on days when my unbelief threatens to assault the beautiful things that I know to be true. One of the things that hangs on this wall is an empty frame. It is there to remind me that they…

I was not feeling well yesterday…….. When I am home and sick is when I miss my Mother the most. She was so good at taking care of us when we were sick. She rocked it. Making us herbal teas and bringing us saltines and toast, watching game shows and soap operas on the couch.…
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…
This past weekend, I had the blessing of re-reading an old favorite book, Donald Miller’s “A Million Miles in a Thousand Years: What I Learned While Editing My Life”. Many of you may be familiar with Donald’s more famous book, “Blue Like Jazz”, a breakout spiritual memoir that was a huge bestseller. It was a…
