I’m not really a resolution-y kind of gal.

Don’t get me wrong, I am all about fresh starts, especially when it comes to God’s mercies being new everyday or facing Monday’s with enthusiasm and drive. (Well, most of the time anyway.)

But for January 2014, God was all about the fresh starts for me. I didn’t make any resolutions. Instead, God called me to some pretty powerful God-sized dreams.

A couple of them are fitness dreams (one is that this asthmatic shall be running a 10k <that’s 6.2 miles!> in March) one is financial, a couple are spiritual. [Read more…]

Birthday Bests

August 13, 2012 by

It’s official.

Being sick is pretty much top ten most un-fun things EVER. Hence the reason why I haven’t been able to blog for a week. I’ve been battling bronchitis and pneumonia. (Both of which came out of NOWHERE, I might add.) For several days it was all I could do to make it to the kitchen back to the couch, let alone stare at a computer trying to string words together to form complete sentences. Fortunately, I have learned (often the hard way) that I HAVE to take a break and rest… or you might be reading this post as it would be written from my husband beside my hospital bed. Uh, no thanks.

Can I See Your I.D.? (Five Minute Friday)

Alas, loyal followers… another Friday tis upon us! (Not quite sure why I am talking like that…)

Anywho… It’s Friday. And Friday means that I link up with The Gypsy Mama for Five Minute Friday. She gives us a prompt, then we engage in what I like to call a finger sprint. We write for five minutes flat, no over thinking, no editing. Just write. We let the words flow and see where we go. (Look at me rhyming on a Friday.)

Sorry bout the squirrelly behavior. I need to cut back on the caffeine I guess.

I should probably get started before I embarrass myself. (More than I already have.)

Todays prompt: IDENTITY

AND  GO! [Read more…]

Some Comments On Commenting

April 4, 2012 by

Aight, beloved readers… (That means “All right” for those of you not currently residing in the south.) Today, for essentially the first time in my blog history, I write to you from atop my soapbox.

No, we will not be discussing politics. (Yikes.) And no, I will not be preaching about the “hard stuff” from the Bible. Instead, I am going to share with you my comments… on commenting.

Yes, I am writing about commenting on blogs. Those of you in the “blogging community” will <hopefully> understand and support this idea… but for you beloved readers who don’t have a blog of your own, I just want to share with you how important it is to comment on blogs. [Read more…]
