Ever reached that place where those around you have pushed you to the limit? They keep niggling away at any semblance of order you might have made in your life and erode that frail thread of sanity and calm you’ve managed to prop up. Yeah, there I am. So here I sit, watching small stones …

Just a little cracked
I’ve forgotten how it feels to be held close against a dragon’s heart. I’ve been so busy trying to be all things to all people that I lost myself in the shuffle. It’s been coming I guess, but yesterday it all snowballed on me and I was more than a little snappish to people who …
No longer Hiding
You know, it’s not always easy living in an area known to only have one course of thinking when it comes to faith. That it isn’t exactly a “one size fits all” never occurs to others, but that is the spiel that goes around. I’m done with that. I’m now just doing my thing, and … Continue reading No longer Hiding
transformation?
Transformation: to change or morph into something new or different. I’ve been accused of this word as of late. I don’t see it myself. I don’t see myself doing anything new or different. I’ve lost a lot of weight… just by changing activity. I changed some negative energy by changing jobs, added some oomph to … Continue reading transformation?
place the blame where it belongs
I’m going to try to end the year with getting rid of baggage. It’s been stuffed in my personal closet for way too long.

Labels
I think my life moves in circles. I know I’ve written about labels before. But apparently some feel the need to try and put me in my place. I’m not sure why others feel the need to label others. Isn’t it enough to be a human being? Why the need to […]
remembrance
This coming Monday is Memorial Day. These days it often is filled with sales galore on electronics, things for Summer and three day weekend and firing up the grill. The historical value of the day has shifted. Memorial Day was begun three years after the War Between the States ended (that’s a southern expression […]
celebration of nothing
I find myself walking down a familiar road. I observe that the wheat field is covered in a sheen of frost. The ground crunches beneath my feet and I’m like wth? It’s supposed to be spring. “I believe your gran called it blackberry winter” says a voice beside me. I look to see my old […]
life reflections
Today I was having a conversation with my husband about other people’s marital woes. we spoke on fidelity, trust, work ethics (both at the relationship as well as providing for the family). It got me to thinking about the vows people take as they enter into their relationship and what it really means to them. […]
