  • Liebster Award Post

Following are the rules, my responses to the ten questions, ten random facts about me and my nominees for this award. As well, I have posted my own ten questions for the nominees. Responding to this award has been interesting, insightful…

  • Happy Valentine’s Day with Expressions of Gratitude

    Expressions of gratitude are here today. This is mid-February and I am truly energized not only with my commitment to writing but am refueling my passion for photography. I see more of my creativity rising to the surface. More than anything, I see God allowing me to be open with myself and focus on more…

  • Never Again…This Food

    Never Again I was tickled with this prompt. This prompt reminds me of an experience in California with sushi. Okay, everyone has a list of things they love and while I try not to be a prude about others choices, sometimes you just know, you know. Well, the secretaries at the company I worked for got…

  • The Path of Life

    Alma Mater: The Path of Life This prompt is significant to me. As valedictorian for my high school graduating class, I gave the speech. I remember my knees shaking as I sat waiting for my turn to speak. I remember the theme for the graduating class that year was “We’ve only just begun to live.”…

  • Sudden Shifts

    Sudden Shifts With a little twist to the daily prompt, this is an actual experience about the sudden hailstorm, the sudden shift in weather. Thought the story would make it fun. The trip to the dentist had been prolonged as long as it possibly could be and the pain had become excruciating. Mom finally consented…

  • Stats and All That

    The Stat Connection When I saw this prompt today, I thought what a great idea. I read another blogger’s (simpledimple) response to this prompt. I read some other blogs that I follow. Continued reading and let in the cable guy for a few moments. Then, I returned my thoughts to the Simpledimple’s prompt response. One point…

  • What’s in a Name?

    Say Your Name Say your name or “what’s in a name” for me. I was originally going to write a different post but saw this prompt and thought it would be interesting and fun to pursue. What’s in a name? A friend and I had a discussion last year about names and how many times they…

  • This “Self” is a Hard Pill to Swallow

    “This ‘self’ is a hard pill to swallow…

  • Again and Again

    Second Time Around In response to the Daily Post prompt, This Present Darkness and Piercing the Darkness by Frank Peretti are two books that I have read not only once or twice but several times over the years. It has been on my heart to read them again and this prompt comes up. I had to…

  • I am Grateful for…

    Gratitude Prompt: I am grateful for… Today, I am grateful I can share with the many bloggers I have met through the Blogging U course in January. I am grateful for the inspiration, encouragement and information. I am grateful for being able to read the journeys of many that show we are not alone. I am…

  • He Said “I Love You”

    Today the quiet allows the mind to ponder the things of God. Reading today allows surrender of the preconceived notion of how things should be. The words shared with me today enhance the place of listening. Thoughts about the past (I am in the now) reflect the journey, the desert, the wilderness, the growth and…

  • The Daily Process

    Today’s thoughts were on a few different things pondering the blog posts read today. My thoughts reflect on the daily process no matter what comes your way. One blog post read is about the spiritual warfare believers face and how it comes head on when we are walking in obedience. Check out the post by…

  • Today…God is in the Details

    God is in the details of our everyday lives. “This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it.” In my reading today, I have been so blessed by the reminders from my fellow bloggers of whose I am. In reading the Scripture posts and the stories of…

  • Who’s Report Will You Believe?

    You know you have made the right decision to pursue a certain way and then chaos comes to throw you around. You know God has opened a certain door and it seems that the enemy sends distractions to take you off course. This is exactly what is happening to me. I am still working out…

  • This Week’s Frenzy…Trying to Figure it Out

    This post culminates what I has resonated from reading other bloggers over the past couple days and this week’s frenzy. I mention a couple of these bloggers as well as their article and site links in this post. I have been in a frenzy within myself. Bills need to be paid and I am frustrated with that…
