Day 88 – It’s pretty ironic how my goal this year is to ruthlessly eliminate hurry from my life. By 11 a.m. this morning I had done so many things, yet felt unproductive. This is the battle I fight. I can clean the house for hours and still feel unproductive because it just gets dirtyContinue reading “In This Together”

Eating More while Stuck at Home?
Day 81— We are getting real today! Let’s talk about eating and being at home. I know I can be an emotional eater and I know I have food at home for the quarantine period of this season. I also know when my children leave snacks uneaten, I don’t want to waste them. It wouldContinue reading “Eating More while Stuck at Home?”
Virus or What?
Day 74 – I have been processing and praying about how to write about the Covid-19. Let’s face it. It seems to be infiltrating every conversation and action in our communities and in our churches. When it comes to anxiety in the midst of a crisis (emotional and spiritual) I get on my knees andContinue reading “Virus or What?”
Unstuck
Day 72- I have not known myself to rush into significant life change. I do not jump head long into it. I weigh my options, verbally process and talk myself into it. The one thing I do know is that I hate being stuck. I will fight to be unstuck every time. Sometimes I thinkContinue reading “Unstuck”
Productivity Planning
Day 63- What a week! I started to work less at my traditional job in preparation to start my new job. My soul needs to rest. I also need to pick-up the pace of my photography business. I have far too many goals and ambitions to fit into each home business day. If I amContinue reading “Productivity Planning”
Date with God
Day 51- My brain won’t turn off. I obsess over the next best thing. It’s no joke. I go to sleep planning my next project and wake up having dreamt about it. Annoying for sure. My mind has to be busy. No wonder I’m tired. If I’m not anxious about something I am moving atContinue reading “Date with God”
Food Shame
Day 47- I eat in light of my emotions. It’s true. I justify something I’m working on avoiding (sugar/carbs) by telling myself my body just used a lot of energy on whatever I was stressed about. I will even look at my watch to see if my heart rate is up so I have evidenceContinue reading “Food Shame”
Slowing Down with My Little One
Day 40- My monthly goal of slowing down and enjoying a recipe happened over the course of two weeks. Our Christmas tradition of making and decorating sugar cookies to give to the police department or first responders in our neighborhood couldn’t happen because of our recurrent illnesses in December.. With Valentine’s day approaching, we invitedContinue reading “Slowing Down with My Little One”
Progress…Finding Peace
Day 33- Eliminating hurry from my life is not arriving in the form I thought it would. Slowing down and being less busy sure seem like wonderful ideas, but I haven’t reached these yet. Sleeping in and having a lovely rest day was in the cards today until my little one woke me up atContinue reading “Progress…Finding Peace”
Anxiety over Provision
Day 27- The sky is cloudy and so is my mood. Job searching, my oldest daughter recovering from an illness and things still to do on my to-do list occupy my mind. My work-out this morning was tough. I thought I was going to pass out. It has all collided on this Monday morning. MyContinue reading “Anxiety over Provision”
