I found a therapist who feels like a smart best friend. She understands my context and my subtext, and as a writer, there are few things more profound. 2022 has been the hardest year I can remember...the year that everyone died, or at least it seemed that way. 2022 soundly kicked my ass. Slayed me. …
#31DaysofWatchingGodMove-Everyday I’m Hustling (warning-language)
I wake up every morning feeling fragile. I do not obsess over my mortality; rather, I am grateful to a larger extent each day the gift that my life, health, and strength are. I Do Not Take Life For Granted. Still, I stride boldly into each day, chin out. It's a farce, but it works. …

#31DaysofWatchingGodMove-It Ain’t Over
Encores. You know, when the show is over, but you're just not ready to leave. This 31 days wasn't even my idea, God. This was all You. Now that I'm here, watching and waiting...yielded and still. See What I Did There? I ain't leaving. Remember when Peter, James, and John saw Moses & Elijah with …

#31DaysofWatchingGodMove-Watch, Fight, Pray
A friend and I talk to and pray for one regularly. We were both surprised to realize that during this month when so many of us write for 31 days, today's messages were the same. Part of What Joins Us is that We See Each Other We are different. We represent the others. We talked …

#31DaysofWatchingGodMove-Believing God for More…Nothing
No schedules. No (very little) stress. Minimal guilt. I am learning not apologize for everything. I am not sorry because everything is not my fault....
My Baby Has Reached Double-Digits (How a Puppy Changed my Life)
My Dog is So Awesome I Wrote a Book About Him It started out as a dare, but I took it. Since 2014 when I finally published the book, I've continued to appreciate that God sent you into our lives, furry little angel. In loving you, I am reminded of God's Grace. Every interaction is motivated by a deep and abiding love.
