*warning* topics explored below may be triggering for some (crisis, trauma, faith crisis, CPTSD, etc.) Having come through my own faith crisis over the years, I have learned one thing, not to be judgy of others. When I'm in writing mode, I have a pretty regular morning routine. I wake, grab coffee (though that's sorely …
Passing the time…
Once again, I find myself in Houston for the week, Which is fine. I don't mind being here, really. It's the travel part that I'm not a huge fan of. Airports, and crowds and waiting, oh my! The flight is right around 2 1/2 hours. Usually I catch some sleep, but last night I felt …
Simple pleasures…
Yesterday was a good day. Equal parts family time, project time, and nap time. I do love me some weekend time. My daughter had her oil changed and tires rotated on Friday and my husband took her to pick up her car towards the end of the day. She drove it home an realized there …
Running on empty…
I have felt run into the ground lately. Tired. Unenergetic. Apathetic. I thought at first it was just a season of busy, which it is, in part, but more than that it's being out of balance. That happens to me when I am focused on one aspect of my brain over the other for long …
Five weeks in…

Greek girl at heart…
It's no secret I have struggled with eating issues my entire life. It's the premise on which I started this blog in the first place -- to follow my journey to better health. And even though I've made incredible strides in that department in the last three years, I've still fought against my mind. When …
Bullet Journaling…
I am a sticky notes girl...or a phone notes girl...or a notepad girl...sometimes I'm even a write-it-on-my-hand notes girl. This year I vow to be more organized. The problem with loving paper and pens so much is that anytime I have a thought I generally capture it -- but because I capture it in all …
Transitions
Life is all about transitions. Sometimes it's moving up -- from say high school to college -- sometimes it's moving forward, like when we moved from Colorado to South Carolina -- and sometimes it's moving on. But I've come to realize life is simply a series of changes, of transitions. And even happy transitions have …
