On Preventing the Energy Crash
This whole year I've been working to heal my body and find freedom within a new set of limitations. It was hard, but I knew it would be worth the effort, worth the commitment. And the hope of feeling better while slowly redefining my limits kept me going. Some of the...
3 Ways Writing Benefits from Silence
Well, I started this blogging challenge more than three weeks ago. I had hoped to write some posts ahead and give myself the freedom to not be stressed over meeting a daily deadline. It turns out the daily practice of writing something and immediately sharing it is so...
When Joy Follows
We aren't left in the middle of confusion for long. If we're seeking a way through a storm and taking each little action step we know is ours to take, then the mess becomes less messy. Maybe this happens as we shift the full burden from our shoulders to God's...from...
The Value of Connection
I have a love/hate relationship with social media. I'm pretty sure the majority of people on Facebook would say the same things at different times. It can be...overwhelming. Too much to keep up with. Too many ads for businesses and companies I've never heard of....
Community In the Wave of Hard Things
Hard things seem to come in waves. And in the middle of those seasons, emotions go up and down too. Lately I've had days where I feel more messy and confused. I'm looking for that clarity I mentioned yesterday, but it just doesn't come...at least not in ways I expect....

Well, friends, I didn't want to write a post today. It's the first time during this challenge that I really thought about skipping. I'm tired and my brain feels foggy. It's not from the weather because it was bright and sunny. I decided over the weekend that I wasn't...
When the Cold is Worth It
I came back home frozen. My whole body was stiff and that made me even more unsteady on my feet. I could still move, but I told my dad not to let go. He helped me back into the house. Slowly. Because my legs couldn't go very fast. They needed time to thaw. I went to...
Accept What is Offered
A couple of weeks ago I shared bits and pieces of my experience with thyroid disease and the journey back to wholeness. It has been a long four years of ups and downs and those endless questions. At first, I was frustrated with not finding answers and no longer...
Beyond the Green Shirt
In all my sorting so far, I couldn't give away this one green shirt. I went looking for it tonight before I remembered I wore it the other day. Fall is the time of year when this shirt cycles in and out my closet every week. It's my favorite for this weird...
