I look around and see so much I have to be thankful for… My personal life has been full lately, mostly good things, things that should make me overjoyed. But I just want to sit in silence and cry. This past Mother’s Day was the first in years that I didn’t spend crying the entire … Continue reading Silence

To quote Jo Dee Messina, “My give a damn’s busted.” I think a lot of people feel that way. It shows in their job performance.  I’ve recently read and even talked to some Gen Zers, and I understand their stance. They want to do something they are proud of, they enjoy and are appreciated for … Continue reading Opportunity

Do you ever just get in a mood where you’re irritated or disgusted with someone so you don’t open their messages? Even group chats that they’re in? Even when you need to respond to someone else in the chat? And every time someone else messages and their name pops up you get that feeling anew?  … Continue reading Questions

Sometimes the walls start caving in and there's nothing we can do except curl up and wait... We wait for the walls to move, for us to be able to breathe again, for our lungs to fill, our eyes to dry and our voice to return. Sometimes it really is just a grain of sand… … Continue reading Small Stuff

Sometimes the answers we seek are found in silence.  Sometimes being in the dark is where we find peace.  Know when to push forward and when to take a … Continue reading Useless Musings

You gotta quiet your ego for a moment and listen to this: It. Doesn’t. Matter. What. They. Say. Or. Think.  What matters is the truth.  We’ve all been wrongly accused, but the only way you’ll find peace isn’t to make others believe you, it is for you to believe yourself. GOD, in all HIS Glory … Continue reading Ego

It’s odd how someone far away both physically and emotionally can impact your life.  At one time or another, we all have certain people we lean on whether they are near or far. Sometimes the distance between you and them doesn’t matter; you make it work. You both put forth effort.  Sometimes the person who … Continue reading Distance and Peace

I started panicking this morning… I was given a task that I do feel to be inadequate with accomplishing. I wonder how many times we feel like David facing Goliath…Honestly, I wonder how he felt when he confronted the giant. Was he fearful, or confident…not of self, but of his belief that GOD was with … Continue reading Inadequate
