January came, it did its thing and is now leaving. We await and welcome February. Some stats on world population indicated that in 2023, there are approximately 7,974 deaths per day in the US and about 330 per hour. If you are reading this in the US, you were blessed to not be a partContinue reading “Goodbye and Hello”

Forever Changed
Bloganuary 2023 – # 10 ‘Has a book changed your life?’ My answer to this writing prompt is – ‘absolutely!’ I love to read. Admittedly, I was more of an avid reader when I was younger. I’ve always joked that college stole my joy of reading, especially grad school. Reading became a chore that wasContinue reading “Forever Changed”
Rain
Earlier this month I planned on connecting with the Bloganuary community as I really enjoyed the exercise in writing last year. This year I don’t plan to write on prompts daily – I’ll just choose the ones that resonate with me. January 7th, the prompt was to write a poem or story about rain. OnContinue reading “Rain”
We Made It!
I had to squeeze in one last post for 2022! This year came with many great moments and some others that pulled the best and worst out of me. Cried some tears, faced one of my greatest fears – had to stop and BREATHE a time or two. I stayed committed to this blog andContinue reading “We Made It!”
I’d Rather
Woke up today to the sound of raindrops pitter-pattering outside. Glanced at the temperature, it was just about 64 degrees. The forecast says cloudy and I barely see the sun shining through. I am on Thanksgiving break and have no intention of doing much. Grateful to be alive and kicking at such a time likeContinue reading “I’d Rather”
A New Day
A new day is a gift. It offers an opportunity for a do over or just to attempt to do something the right way this time. We are offered time and space to heal, to forgive – to repair the breached places. This is our new day – let’s make it count!
My Struggle
Maybe you’re like me, at times you struggle with your faith. What you believe opposed to what you should believe. This week I had an eye-opening moment as I realized that something I once believed for was now slowly fading away. Meaning, it appeared that in the ‘waiting’, my faith had slowly waned. Now, evenContinue reading “My Struggle”
You Are Seen
Sometimes I notice friends, acquaintances and fellow-bloggers go radio silent. Ever so often I wonder how they are doing. If I can, I try my best to do a ‘check in’. Life comes with a plethora of challenges. It takes us for a ride at times. Seasons change, priorities may shift and we may evenContinue reading “You Are Seen”
Son of My Heart
This past week I watched my coworker say goodbye to her only son of 25 years. To say it tore me to pieces is an understatement. I have two young men myself. No mother is ever prepared for that, especially when it is unexpected. A young vibrant life – now gone. There’s a space inContinue reading “Son of My Heart”
Expectations
I’ve heard that comparison kills. I wonder what ‘expectation’ does. About a decade ago I had this eye-opening revelation that, without conscious awareness, I was waiting on someone to apologize to me. This person, I felt, had wronged me and needed to atone for their sin. At the end of the 20-year wait, I cameContinue reading “Expectations”
