I woke up before the 'Earth' today... Well not really, but I was awake pretty early. Early enough to notice that it took 'my side of the Earth' a little more effort than usual to 'come' alive. I mean, it was darker than usual, quieter than usual and cooler than usual. Roughly 2 hours later... Continue Reading →
Balance is Key
Oooeee, yesterday's post was hea-vy! And I'm not gonna lie... it took a little something out of me! But since balance is key, and I need to put back in energy similar to what I let out, I'd like to share something a little lighter today... It's writing by Alysha Waghorn. Her handle on Instagram...

When Blessings Hurt: Vulnerability Alert!
In my humble opinion, blessings come in a myriad of guises. Some 'sweet', and some in forms that don't feel like blessings at all at the time! I call them 'storms'. And I can tell you from my own experience that if we remain steady 'in the storm' and 'make it to the other side',... Continue Reading →
Simple Pleasures…
Sometimes we forget how little we need to live a good life. We have soo much, yet we are still chasing more... and we never fully appreciate what we already have! I get it though. I really do. Now... Between work, family, friends and all of the other things that we need to attend to,... Continue Reading →
Grateful for the ‘overlooked’
Have you ever paid attention to your reaction whenever you enter a smelly public bathroom or a dirty restaurant? Come on, let's be honest... Most of us make contorted facial expressions and mutter some 'not-nicety' under our breaths, don't we? Something along the lines of... "OMG, didn't 'they' clean this place today!"...maybe? Erm, excuse me...... Continue Reading →
No more stinkin’ thinkin’!
I woke up feeling calm, content and at peace today... You know that feeling where everything's gonna be okay? Yeah, I woke up with that today! So there's really no other way... It's gonna be okay, because that's what I say! And I'm gonna make it that way! Or at least that's what I'm telling... Continue Reading →
Hurdles
Have you ever woken up on any given day and felt like the path ahead was simply riddled with obstacles? Well join the club! Me too! I'm curious though… What did you do? I ask because in reality, we only have 2 options… well maybe 3! To keep inching forward as we carefully navigate the... Continue Reading →
Contentment is a State of Mind
Oooeee, was it cold outside this morning! In fact it was so cold that I had to 'break out' my winter coat, and subconsciously found myself praying for some warmth today! This tickled me greatly, because not quite 4 months ago, I distinctly recall wondering how I was going to survive the 'Dog Days' of... Continue Reading →
Stressed but Blessed anyway
I have to go for a minor medical procedure today... Now the thing about whenever the words 'medical' and 'procedure' go hand in hand, is that one can almost always find 'fear' and 'anxiety' lurking in the vicinity... regardless of how MAJOR or minor the procedure may be! Over the past year and a half,... Continue Reading →
The Bare Basics
“She did not need much, wanted very little. A kind word, sincerity, fresh air, clean water, a garden, kisses, books to read, sheltering arms, a cozy bed, and to love and be loved in return.” - Starra Neely Blade Now I don't know about you, but I can definitely relate! Life really CAN be about... Continue Reading →
