First is Thanksgiving, then my birthday, then Christmas, then my parent’s anniversary, and finally Mom’s birthday.

Journey of a Lifetime-Part 7
My journey of A lifetime has become my journey of MY lifetime. I have been literally going back through my life and deconstructing the God I grew up with and rebuilding my beliefs with the God I have come to know. I am currently in my cousin’s house in Hot Springs Village. It’s on theContinue reading “Journey of a Lifetime-Part 7”
Journey of a Lifetime -Part 6
Since my last post, I’ve left Sequoia, been to Yosemite, Napa, Carmel, Big Sur, and am currently in Monterey. I left Yosemite a day early because I had an invite from a friend of a friend to come to Napa, have some dinner (she’s a chef!) and wine, and tell her about my travels soContinue reading “Journey of a Lifetime -Part 6”
Journey of a Lifetime Part 4
I made it to Joshua Tree National Park, and I have to say I am amazed by it. The unique vegetation and the gigantic rocks that make for great climbing, are such an interesting combo. There are fields of Joshua Trees and then huge mountains of rocks. The birds are beautiful and I even saw a jackrabbit with superContinue reading “Journey of a Lifetime Part 4”
Journey of a Lifetime Part 3
So far, my journey has included spending time in Fort Worth with my BFF, Big Bend National Park, and Saguaro National Park. Big Bend was incredible and awful. First the bad, to get it out of the way. I had an incident with my bear spray. When I was getting my pack out of theContinue reading “Journey of a Lifetime Part 3”
Joy or Shame? You can’t have both
Yesterday morning I had an epiphany. I’m sure I’m not the first to realize this, but since it helped me immensely, I want to share it so maybe it can help others who don’t know. If you grew up in church or are now in church, you have most likely learned that sin separates usContinue reading “Joy or Shame? You can’t have both”
To Be Seen
“There is an epidemic of not being seen….It’s more and more difficult to stand out. It’s more and more difficult to be special, more and more difficult to be unique. We are not seen.” ~Sam Vaknin We live in world of so many lost people who are not being seen. I know many women whoContinue reading “To Be Seen”
Love Me?
Healing from my abuse journey has been long. It’s taken me far longer than I originally thought it would. As I work through each step and heal from it, a deeper level is revealed to me. Through it all has been an undercurrent of what I knew I would always have to get to- myContinue reading “Love Me?”
Fortitude
I beat myself up for a bit about being fooled again by a man who was manipulating me. It was the realization that I once again put my trust in someone who was just lying to me that made me so angry at myself. I really thought I had worked through the biggest bulk ofContinue reading “Fortitude”
New Lesson Unlocked!
I went out with some friends last night to a Journey tribute band concert. We had such a great time singing along to every song. After the concert, we stopped at a club to listen to another band. I had a very eye-opening experience there. We had a couple men come up to us, offerContinue reading “New Lesson Unlocked!”
