Fresh
Happy Monday eve, Journeyer! It’s been a strange week, Friends! I am one of those people doctors refer to as “fit as a fiddle” or “strong as an ox” but this past week has made me double-think those phrases! I came down with Pink Eye the Friday before we left for Beauty’s graduation. Fortunately I’ve had this once before and … Read More
I Remember
Dear Journeyer, Today is a special day on so, so many levels! Most of you know it simply as Mother’s Day. But for some of us, it is so much more… …a more that is equally complicated, courageous, saddening, maddening, underwhelming and overwhelming… Though I’m not surprised, I hadn’t expected the outpouring of sharing that began after The Grief Toolbox … Read More
50 Shades of Color
Happy Sunday, Journeyer! The clock in the lower right-hand corner of my computer screen says 10:04 p.m. I find it hard to fathom that eleven hours have passed in this day and even more difficult to comprehend that an entire week has come and gone! Blip… More daily work drama… BLEK! There are a few self-centered and childish people at … Read More
Privileged
Dear Journeyer, Sometimes we find ourselves swept up in day-to-day drudgery, dreams, and drama. This past week was filled with all of those. I spent most of the week catching up after being away at the National Grief and Hope Convention. Some of those activities included minutia like unpacking, doing laundry, putting away shoes and suitcases… There were pleasant doings … Read More
Growing & Glowing in Grief
Happy Sunday, Journeyer! Wow…just wow… Warren and I are heading home from the first National Grief and Hope Convention. Words cannot effectively express the amount of growth and healing that occurred in those Grand Ballrooms. I am exhausted, energized, overjoyed, and overwhelmed…all at the same time! I met so many grief neighbors and healing allies that to list them all … Read More
The Show Must Go On
Happy Sunday, Journeyer! Each week I sit down at my computer and scroll through my iPhone’s camera roll and through my week’s notes. This look into my week’s rear-view mirror is a way of illuminating my week ahead. Sound strange or contradictory? In the traditional sense of “rear-view” mirror it is, but in the context of my weekly challenge to … Read More
Happy Rising
Happy Sunday-Monday Journeyer! Happy (belated) Easter! Easter. Another of my cherished holidays. A time for friends and family to slow down, to come together, to share their fellowship, and to celebrate. Some celebrate Jesus’ resurrection and the message that He is our salvation. Some celebrate spring break while others rejoice the earth’s awakening from a long winter’s rest. Sometimes, like … Read More
Taking Flight
Happy Sunday, Journeyer! What a strange week this has been! A little overtime at work and an Easter luncheon where I overindulged… College, scholarship stuff, and senior prom tuxedo shopping with Big Guy… Helping that same young lad prepare for his first solo trip abroad! Selected to our section all-stars soccer team, he’s going to enjoy eight days touring and … Read More
The Numbers Have It
Happy Sunday, Journeyer! This week has been a bit of a blur! I’ve been so fatigued that I didn’t even attend my Crossfit sessions on Wednesday or Friday. Though I felt a good kind of tired after working out I just didn’t have any energy left for the rest of the day. I found out on Thursday why I have … Read More
