Stress

I’m not very good at catchy titles for my blogs. I type the first thing that comes to mind. Today I’m writing about the stress I experienced yesterday on my way to the She Speaks Studio. It all started out great. Left at the time I wanted. Had packed the night before, even went to…

Fall in Stowe

Fall with a chance of Snow

It is no secret that I love Fall. The colors of the leaves make me extremely happy. Someone showed me a comedian who was talking about people like me who love the Fall leaves. He was making fun of us loving dying leaves. So, yes, I love to watch the dying leaves morph into such…

Saying Something Stupid

That’s my life in a simple three-word sentence. I heard most of my childhood “Put mind in gear before putting mouth in motion.” I hated that saying because I heard it so much. But at times I have no filter. If I think it, I say it. And boy do I get in trouble when…

WELL PLEASED

Matthew 3:17 “and behold a voice from heaven said, ‘This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.’” This first time I ever heard that scripture, it was written on my heart because it was something I longed to hear. As a child, we receive correction and sometimes praise. In my life, encouragement…

Fear of…

My devotion this morning was on fear. When I read it, I thought, “I don’t have a fear that is gripping me, paralyzing me.” But I have experienced it. I had a fear that grabbed me and shook me to the foundation of my faith. It was so bad I had panic attacks when I…

Expectations

I recently went to the beach with the expectation of writing. That was my plan. Apparently that was not God’s plan. His plan was to shower me with gifts so that I could feel Him. He was distracting me. Wonderfully and beautifully distracting me from writing. I had expected to have time to write my…

LIFE”S A BEACH

I am not a sand kind of girl. Not a sun worshipper either. But I do enjoy a balcony overlooking the water, listening to the waves crashing on the beach, and the beauty of nature. I love birdwatching and sometimes there isn’t anything better than sitting and watching the pelicans fish. Their grace astounds me,…

CANCER…

There is something about that word that strikes fear into the heart of Christ Followers and Non-believers. Cancer does not care who you are and what you believe. It only cares about its survival. My Mother had colon cancer and breast cancer. Mammograms revealed cysts in her breasts for years, always nothing. Sometimes they were…

HEALTHY?

Since August last year I have been trying to lose my 19-year-old baby weight. No, not trying to get rid of the kid, just the pounds that I seem to have kept after she left my body. I guess technically I lost it, but it came back. So, after getting bored with Jenny Craig, I…
