The Avoidance Strategy.
I was thinking of writing a blog on avoidance recently and God gave me great content last night as I had someone who successfully avoided me and then I avoided someone else I did not want to talk to. You may gasp in awe that I said that out loud but you know you've...
Think About Finding A New Route.
HONK. HONK. "Get out of the way!" [Unladylike hand gesture] HONK. HONK. "Move over!" HONK. HONK. "What do you think you're doing?" "Why drive slow in the fast lane?" HONK. HONK. Loud music. Heads nodding. Phones ringing. Fingers texting. The sights and sounds of...
Because I Said So.
When our girls were little, there were many times they would challenge us about why we asked them do something. I would try to be patient and give reasons but sometimes the only reasonable response was "because I said so." Sometimes at work, I find myself questioning...
Celebrating Can Be Hard.
Last night I was at a mother-daughter banquet and the program started with a reading that was not the traditional "mothers are....." reading. It was read by a gal who is not yet a mother and who lost hers a few years ago in an accident. It was a very brave reading....

First Things First.
Alarm Buzzzzzzzzz. No way! How can it be 6 a.m. already? It feels like I just went to sleep! Maybe I will hit the snooze just once. Will 10 minutes put me behind? Maybe I can do my quiet time tonight instead of this morning. Maybe I won't put dinner in the...
The Key To Success May Be Counter-Clockwise.
I was walking the other day trying to get in my steps for the day. One of the paths I walk is full of houses. However, I have never seen anyone outside at this one house. Vehicles are in different spots and there is obvious signs of people living there but I have...
Polka Dots and Puddles
*Reprinted from 2014. I love umbrellas and rain boots and thought today was a good day to re-read this blog from 2014. 🙂 My husband is the little meteorologist in our family. Since he farms and his livelihood depends a lot on the weather, he is checking for rain...
