Free Falling
When you cut the rope to things no longer serving a purpose in your life, or they are cutting at you with a vengeance and it is time to take the fall. Sometimes being a lone wolf is what you need. Sometimes being the one to end something is a must. Sometimes you just need to either cut the rope. You need to free fall. Fall away from people.
Fall away from situations. Fall away from jobs. From friends.... From relationships.... From toxic surroundings.... There is a purpose to

Burning the Midnight Oil
When you decide to burn bridges be sure you can live with the consequences. I will be honest, when I burn a bridge, I burn it hard. I will be honest, it is not always the easiest thing to do. I will be honest, burning bridges takes a whole new level of strength. However.... When you burn a bridge, be sure you know your reasons for burning it clearly. When you burn that bridge that has great possibilities, but is full with toxicity; burn that bridge hard. When you decide to fi

When Uncertain Tides Come
Life has a way of crushing you and rejuvenating you all in one. In times where there are so many uncertainties I know for sure I can turn to the Word, the heavenly breathed truth, and it brings...peace. God knows, God hears, God decides. Just because you ask for something that you think might be the right answer does not you will get what you ask for physically, but you will get what your soul yearns for deeply. I want to put my trust in Christ who speaks it, and it is so. Sp

Leaving a Legacy
Thoughts for Tuesday 12.29.2020 Sincerity, always be an original in a sea of cookie cutter... What does that mean?
We are all original right? To an extent we are all original. We are each unique in our genetic makeup. However, life happens, and we try to hide what we are to who we are around everyday. We try to slip into skin that is not ours in order to be "accepted". We sincerely hate that we hide, but we cannot help it until... Until we finally have had enough, and we just

Old Roots, New Shoots
I'll tell you what is amazing...it's when new life comes from old things! There are so many things to learn from casting off the old to grow the new. I am awestruck by how the circle of life from beginning to end to the beginning again is reflected all around us. One tiny seed... One dying plant... One windy day... All three in combination would never be seen as that of a total rejuvenation harboring new life. However, they are an amazing complex trinity in how the circle nee

Leaving a Legacy
Thoughts for Tuesday 12.01.2020 Serenity, it is always the cure... Holiday evenings are for home projects. Those quiet, still evenings for making a house a home. Lamps and heat on. Possibly music or a favorite movie on the TV. It is time to really appreciate the hearth which you were blessed with and make it a home for all those that live inside. Welcome all who arrive with the same serenity and hospitality. Warm blankets on soft couches. Oven on, cookies and sweet breads bak

Burning the Midnight Oil
Part 2...A Weekly Blog On nights that your eyes cannot see, allow your soul to feel and burn the midnight oil of listening. To Listen...what does it mean? The act of sitting still, being quiet, and giving attention to someone or something else needing heard. Weekly Reflection If someone were to look at my heart in a metaphorical sense, you would have to scoop it up into your hands, and watch as the fine dust runs through your fingers. Like an hour glass of sand my heart keeps

Burning the Midnight Oil
Part 1...A Weekly Blog On nights that your soul is trying to find solace and balance, always turn to burning the midnight oil of wisdom. Wisdom...what does it mean? The quality in possessing knowledge from experience, and a soundness of mind to apply good judgement. Weekly Reflection I find myself more and more reveling in the solitude of home. It is a great place to sit, relax, center, focus and really work on my soul. It is imperative for me to have soul time to wash the in

What I Have Learned from Being Alone Awhile
Sometimes you need to just be with you. No one else. Just you and your thoughts in your space. For me it took years. What do you discover? You crave your own space more than you know, even if you think you don't at the time. Quiet is deafening at times. Your soul will thank you for the rest. Your health will become a much needed focus and re-centering will occur. That kitchen that was always there will be filled with love again through laughter and creation. Reading becomes s

Sun Petals
Most of the world sees a flower's beauty only when it is in full bloom, but what if those fallen rays of sun at the end of summer were just as beautiful in its journey to being fully loved? All those days and moments... Every single petal signifies a moment in life... And as the days of life, summer, a season in humanity pass a petal falls... Those fallen pieces, those forgotten pieces of a heart. All those moments that fall to the ground and are trampled on by so many. Heart
