How to sleep. The story is told of an elderly lady in a war torn area, who went to sleep peacefully, amidst the dropping of bombs. When asked how she was able to this, she commented that God ‘does not slumber nor sleep’. If God is awake it made no sense for her to stayContinue reading “Wasted Moments”

May It Be Today
I find connections in the in-betweens – time away from both work and home. Work can be overwhelming and home life can be draining. Finding balance means I’m at my best in both places. Taking time to reset and refresh always brings out the best in me. It never hurts to do it with aContinue reading “May It Be Today”
A little more 💤
That’s a no-brainer for me – go to bed earlier. One small improvement – a lifetime of benefits. I know I am sleep deprived. A pal of mine, who never seems to sleep, commented that he’ll sleep when he’s dead. I want to enjoy sleep now, while I’m alive. It may not make me liveContinue reading “A little more 💤”
Love You Lots
Sleep. I don’t – can’t get enough of you. I dream of you constantly. Especially when I’m heading home. When we collide it’s a thing of beauty. You take me to places that nothing or no one else can. Things happen to my body when I’m with you – I’m refreshed, reset and revived. WithContinue reading “Love You Lots”
A New York Minute
I’ve been in town for a few days primarily to visit my dad, who isn’t doing so well. Watching your parents diminish in strength and vitality can be emotionally taxing. I observe his wife and listen to all she has to say. It has also taken a toll on her. My heart breaks as IContinue reading “A New York Minute”
The Change
“I sit in Your presence bathed in your peace. Desiring the changed me that ‘can run with the horsemen’. When you choose not to change my situation – change me to ride with the waves. May I develop ‘hinds’ feet’ so I can leap over walls and traverse the difficult terrains of this life. GiveContinue reading “The Change”

After being around for over 50 years, I’ve had the privilege of living in the simpler days free of devices and the urgency to respond to everyone ASAP. In the last few decades, I’ve also found myself with the masses struggling to unplug. Fighting the need to do everything , see everything, and respond toContinue reading “Unplug”
About Last Night
I think I slept with a smile on my face last night. It rained all night. No thunderstorms, no loud sounds or flashes of light. Just gentle falling rain- the kind that soothes my mind and relaxes my body. Last night was a good one! In peace I will both lie down and sleep, forContinue reading “About Last Night”
Lately
Lately I’ve been missing and I know it. Writing hasn’t been taking up much space at my table these days. To be transparent, I’ve been struggling just to read posts from even some of my of my favorite bloggers. I need time to walk through and navigate this season in a healthy way. Reading andContinue reading “Lately”
I Wonder
”There are times I wonder, why can’t I wear white after Labor Day?” That Twizzler ad asks a very pertinent question😉. Who made these ’rules’ and why do we feel obligated to subject ourselves to them. That’s just one of the many rules the fashion police academy has laid out for us. Of course, that’sContinue reading “I Wonder”
