Your body will heal, She said. My body, it will heal, I repeat to myself. Yet I wonder: The body heals, but Does the soul? The precision tools cut into My skin, making a Gash, a hole. And I wonder: The body heals, but Does the heart? Stitches are made Where the hole Is toContinue reading “Does the Heart Heal?”

Rough Draft
A few weeks ago I mentioned that I was starting a book project. Since it has been a month or so since I mentioned this fact, I felt like I needed to follow up and say that, Yes, I am still working on this project. Phase One of this project, the R & D, orContinue reading “Rough Draft”
New Project
I’ve started a new project. (I can see my husband rolling his eyes at this statement. Hardly a week goes by when I don’t ‘start a new project’). This project, though, is a for-real-I-have-a-goal-and-a-purpose project. It’s book project to be specific. You’ve all heard me moan and groan for the last four years that IContinue reading “New Project”
When Lists Aren’t Helpful
I am very much a List Maker. I am someone who writes down lists of things…anything: grocery list, to-do list, home repair lists, when I watered my plants last, things I need to buy…the list goes on (Haha). I check these things off my various lists throughout the day and they help me track myContinue reading “When Lists Aren’t Helpful”
Short Term Work
I feel like it’s been a while since I’ve written. I feel this back up, what I call ‘creative constipation’, happening. There are things I want to write about, it’s just taking the time to write about them. And Time, per say, right now, isn’t necessarily an issue — not like when I worked atContinue reading “Short Term Work”
Slow Work
I was at work a couple of weeks ago, in our not-so-lovely warehouse, counting our Christmas inventory. I knew this was something that I was going to have to do because my manager gave me a heads up about it, so I knew it was coming and was trying not to dread it. Counting isContinue reading “Slow Work”
In the Works
I’ve decided, for now, to expand this blog (Or, my website). It’s in the works. I’m working on it slowly. Very slowly. But it’s coming together bit by bit. When I started this blog, as I mentioned in this post, I had no plans for what it was to be. And to a point IContinue reading “In the Works”
Sounding Board
I had coffee with a friend this morning. My friend is a creative type with lots of idea. Kind of like me, haha. Over lunch a couple months ago, she mentioned she had an idea to write and create mystery parties. She would develop the story lines, then, as a side hustle, would offer toContinue reading “Sounding Board”
Book List: 2015
What I read in 2015: ‘The Meaning of Marriage’ – Tim Keller (I read it before getting married — even before getting engaged — and was glad I did. It helped to put some perspective and reality into what I was anticipating going in to) ‘Shattered Dreams’ – Larry Crabb (I don’t actually remember reallyContinue reading “Book List: 2015”
Book List: 2016
What I read in 2016: ‘Seated with Christ’ – Heather Holleman (Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful little book about comparison, identity in Christ and reaching out to others. Challenging and beautiful) ‘The Pushcart War’ – Jean Merrill (Reverting once again to childhood. I liked this book more when I was younger, but still a fun read) ‘TheContinue reading “Book List: 2016”
