So, my family moved to Cortez, Colorado a little over 22 years ago. I was in my early 30’s, had grown up in the big city of Houston, Texas. I was accustomed to “big city” amenities and luxuries and conveniences. And here we were, moving to a place I’d never heard of in my life. But…itContinue reading “#8”

I finally finished reading a book I started back in the fall (if you must know, I’m a freaky slow reader…I deal with it.) It’s by one of my favorite authors and you’d think I’d hurry right through it, but…I’m a freaky slow reader. Anywaaays…near the end of the book, she brings up the subjectContinue reading “Enough”

“The pose begins when you want to get out of it.” This was a quote I saw today. The girl who said it was referring specifically to ballet and yoga. Wow! What a picture! What a great saying! That’s life. That’s the key to changing or becoming or transforming or finally beginning to reach thatContinue reading “The Pose”

I saw an interview today with a man by the name of Steve Pemberton. He is currently the Chief Diversity Officer and Vice President of Walgreens. Never heard of him before today. Steve was born into poverty and then was passed from foster home to foster home to foster home, to families who only fosteredContinue reading “No One Looks Like Their Story”

Today was a first for me. I took a self-defense class for women, specifically. A 6-hour class. With an instructor who doesn’t believe in breaks (just kidding, Brian, if you’re reading this. Love you ❤ ) It was hard work. It was intense. It was like drinking from a fire hose. It was exhausting. ButContinue reading “As The Head Goes…”

This is a very off-the-cuff blog entry. I’m literally typing it as I think about it. So if it’s haphazard and doesn’t make sense, that’s why lol David and I are sitting here watching The Voice, one of our favorite shows of all times. (As a footnote, I’m sooooo glad that Pharrell stayed and that myContinue reading “Am I the Disadvantaged One?”

The last month, and especially the last week, we have been bombarded with heavy “LOVE” messages. Heck, WalMart literally had their Valentine’s aisle halfway complete before Christmas Day…December 23rd, to be exact (I have photo proof if you want it). Pinkness and redness have been nauseatingly displayed in every form: cards, flowers, candies, sweaters, cereal, sunglasses,Continue reading “The Miracle of Love”

Today in my Bible reading, I read the story at the end of Mark 4 – the story about Jesus calming the wind and the waves. If you’ve been in church 10 minutes in your life, you’ve probably heard that story. It’s a popular story, especially for little kids, because it’s fun to tell theContinue reading “It Was His Idea”

Four years ago today, I may have died…for a minute. I was awfully close if I didn’t. I was on my 7th day of heavy sedation, in a coma, after being admitted to the hospital a week before for double pneumonia that went south very, very rapidly. One day I’ll write a complete story about all myContinue reading “Time is Short”

Anyone younger than me probably doesn’t recognize that title…because I know I was just a wee baby when Flip Wilson made that line popular (hehe)….. For the last three Wednesday nights at Inside/Out, our weekly gathering of teenagers at Rock Springs Church, we’ve been studying the idea of judgment. “Judgment Call” The first two weeksContinue reading ““Here Come Da Judge””
