What does it look like to be a blogger? How much planning and strategy go into a post or a series? This is the creation of a blog post from conception to publishing of a blog post or series. On the surface it looks so easy to be a blogger, just write and slap a [...]

2020 – Word of the Year
I've been choosing a word of the year for the last few years, this year's is a repeat. Not surprisingly. This last summer brought some new joy, I loved watching my little plants grow. To go from seed to plant, to drying out the leaves and jarring the herbs. I was amazed by their growth [...]
2019 | Word of the Year
For a few years now, I've given up on new years resolutions and chosen a word of the year. Each year has proven that the word chosen was correct and brings a whole new meaning to the word. As I mentioned in my wrap up post, 2018 was Grow. And boy did we grow, and [...]
Advent Reflection on Waiting
Something I've learned as I gotten older is to never diminish another's waiting. We are all waiting on something, the bus, that phone call, him to get on one knee, on our next meal, test results, and so on. The list goes on forever. Somehow, I find we are always waiting on something big during [...]
Thankful & Grateful 2018
I like to post on or near Thanksgiving about thankful and gratefulness. Especially when the biggest shopping day of the year is the next day. SMH. I'm so thankful for being back in Colorado, it really makes me feel better. Strange how places can do that too us. This month we are celebrating one year [...]

Brave Steps
So incase you missed it my word for 2017 is brave, which is ironic & obvious in so so many ways. One of the brave things I did in the last few months was host an ethical fashion party at my church, this is a VERY big deal to me. You see we've been going [...]
Easter Reflection | 2017
I've had a tough week, seriously, I'm in desperate need of resurrection Sunday. When we visited Israel in 2011, we visited the Church of Agony & I know I mention this story every Easter related post but that's because it really means THAT much to mean and putting that experience into words is way way harder [...]
What to do during OHM hours
We signed up for OHM Connect in the last few weeks and have had I think 3 or 4 OHM hours (all in one hour increments no more than one a day), where we turn off all unnecessary electronics and lights, including our nest which runs our ac/heater. We don't always have an OHM hour each [...]
