April 4, 2024

Today ....


it's very rewarding to be able to look back with my coach,
over the days, weeks, and months of following
an anti-inflammatory lifestyle so far.
(11 weeks)
I now have solid proof that I'm in the process
 of making something good happen
for myself.

be well....

April 3, 2025


Old quilts and throw pillows on the kitchen floor,


the gentle rumble of thunder,
rain drops splashing in the birdbath,
the sing-off between the bluebird and the mockingbird,
as I watch the steam rise from my coffee.
The rock I picked up at Dad's camp last October on one side,
my kiddo's container plants that I fostered 
over the winter on the other.
Feeling connected.
Life is so quick and pacey.
Slowing down is healthy.
Slowing down makes me happier.
Enjoying special moments the way I want to live life,
is more fulfilling. Simple.

Journal notes...

You matter.
You deserve better.

In God you have everything.

In Him you are complete.

'Your capacity to experience Him,
increases through the removal of debris
and clutter from your heart.'

'You don't have to be perfect to experience God's love and provision.'

'You don't have to constantly worry about making mistakes.

He loves you unconditionally.
He wants you back.
He wants  you close.

unconditional:
with no limits in any way:
without restriction by condition or qualifications.

Know that you are loved.

be well....

"The little stuff is the light.
It's the things that slowly light us up from within
that romanticize our everyday lives.
That remind us there is joy everywhere if we look for it."

April 2, 2025


This morning...


...I grabbed every couch cushion, pillow, and blanket on my way
to the hallway.
Made a pillow fort.
Nestled in with my coffee and journal,
and waited for the tornado sirens to quit.
 Round 5.
Quiet. 
Then the mockingbird sang.

be well...

"Here's the moments when you realize
the simple things are wonderful and enough."

Outside


Today....


...I honored the "Dad" parts of myself, and found contentment 
cutting up, clearing away and working in the yard.
Removing the old and making way for the new.

Journal bits...

Be joyful always & hold onto the good.

"You are beautiful as you are; 
you don't have to be someone else."

Do not force a beginning. Beginnings will arrive.

Let the pace flow naturally. Move forward. Do it gently.
Do it in peace. Cherish each moment.

Seek to nurture your budding dream.

"The mind is the steering wheel that determines the direction."

Make up your mind.

"Your mind may guide you in what you do,
but the heart affirms your passion to do it."

'Every day offers you the miracle of life, 
if your open to receive it.'

be well...
xoxo

"It's comfortable to be inside.
Sheltered, protected.
But there is a comfort to the outside too.
Because outside there is freedom.
Outside you can keep moving until you 
find a place of your own.
Or you can decide that outside is your
place. 
And stay there."
