Give it a rest

I will try my best to keep this short and sweet. I am running out of time because I have been searching several books to find a quote I wanted use in this post. I wasted way too much time on this before it occurred to me to ask the Google Machine :). Before theContinueContinue reading “Give it a rest”

It’s not about me

You may or may not have noticed that I have not posted a new blog for a few weeks (if you didn’t notice, just keep that to yourself 😉). Even though I haven’t written a single block post, I have been a writing fiend for the past couple months! I’ll try not to over explain,ContinueContinue reading “It’s not about me”

Off Pitch

I am not really sure how this is all going to come together, but usually, as I write, my thoughts sort of fall into place and I can pull some sort of nugget out of an otherwise embarrassing story. Like the one I am about to tell you. I don’t know if I have waitedContinueContinue reading “Off Pitch”

Dumb-Struck

My daughter has had laryngitis this week. If you haven’t met her, she is 14 and LOVES to talk. A lot. It’s been torture for her; that is, until she discovered an APP that would make her phone speak for her. She would type (which she can do about as fast as she can speak)ContinueContinue reading “Dumb-Struck”

Off the Wagon

I don’t think it was a coincidence that I happened to be in a store last night, with about 75 others who also had the phenomenal idea to show up for the Grand Opening. We went inside because the drive-through line wrapped around the entire building  and down the street. I was with my 15ContinueContinue reading “Off the Wagon”

Garage Sale Gossip

I knew there was more than one reason I haven’t had a garage sale for about 15 years. It’s not only because I get offended when people don’t buy the junk I don’t want or that my clothes labeled “FREE” are still in the driveway the next morning. It’s also because, after doing the math,ContinueContinue reading “Garage Sale Gossip”

The rest of the story

Ready for the “rest of the story”?  Actually, it’s a story that was fast-forward-ed about a week. I feel so honored that God believes in me enough to think I can remember something that happened a whole week earlier. Bless His heart. So, I was out with a friend for coffee. We are fellow cancerContinueContinue reading “The rest of the story”

Twilight Zone

Sometimes God shows up in one of those “Twilightzone-ish (insert music here…)” moments that give us goose bumps. Every once in awhile this happens to me. And even though some might be skeptical, I really just need to talk about one that happened to me last week. Bear with me, because I need to giveContinueContinue reading “Twilight Zone”
