How ya holding up, friend? Is the cabin fever spiking? How about those walls? Do they seem to be shrinking in? Have you redone your landscaping and organized your pantry yet? I have a friend who is making it her goal to wash every window in her house (she has three times as many as […]

Fiction and Nonfiction Reads for You

About twice a year I try to give a book review(s) of current or recent-past reads. Obviously, your taste may not be my own, but many are just looking for a good recommendation. I read across several genres and receive incredulous looks over the craziness of reading several books at once. Yes, I’m one of […]
Weekend Exhale: Leave Inspired

Sometimes we just need to be reminded that “yes, you can”. Persevere and work hard, and follow those dreams. I don’t know about you, but I’m nervous this little sweetie is going to fall off the bed. Gets me every time. See what God sees: the beauty and potential within all […]

Weekend Exhale
How in the world does one keep up with current events–avoiding the head-in-the-sand approach–and still keep from feeling weighed down by the monstrosities going on? Amidst the horrors of racism, terrorism, trafficking, euthanasia, and other godlessness, I sometimes sigh to the heavens, “Lord, you are Lord, but what a mess we people are making of […]
Weekend Exhale: Summer Book Reads

On occasion, I recommend books. Obviously, if you don’t share my love of mysteries, poetic prose, or philosophical novels, you may not appreciate these reads like I do, but I’m a rather eclectic reader, so I’d hope there would be something for everyone. On a side note, I never quite grasped the “beach read” concept. […]
Weekend Exhale: Feeling Uninspired?

Because it’s never too late to try. Because the sacrifices you make for them matter. For those who love to take photos, or those who just enjoy the art of photography. […]
