Day 163- I believe we are at a crossroad in our country. With the generational patterns of racism being brought to our attention, all people have a responsibility to evaluate how racism has played a role in our own lives and in the lives of those who came before us. The events and the conversationsContinue reading “The Antidote for White Guilt”

Porch Swing Ponderings
Day 150- I was anxious when I woke up yesterday. I can’t pinpoint the reason why exactly. Fit filled dreams and a momentary panic over thinking I was supposed to be at work might have been the cause. As I attempted to calm myself down I started pondering the current state of our world. It mightContinue reading “Porch Swing Ponderings”
Conversation about Race: a Different Kind of Anxiety
Day 133- Last year in my work environment I heard that I was often called “the white girl” behind my back. The reactions, “Really”, “Ouch,” and “Seriously?” all went through my mind. It also made me think. I grew up in a predominately white world. The northwest is not know to have many African AmericansContinue reading “Conversation about Race: a Different Kind of Anxiety”
The Eagle Overhead
Day 108- I’m learning to settle my heart, to do fewer things and to not set my sights on high achievement every day. I feel a little misplaced by the middle of the day. I want to run around to accomplish things or crawl into bed and do nothing. My routine is to meet withContinue reading “The Eagle Overhead”
Good Friday
Day 100 – Tomorrow is Good Friday! I was thinking about this weekend’s holidays in terms of our quarantine situation. While Jesus was on earth there were crowds around him all the time. People were said to “push through the crowds” to get to Jesus. One person climbed a tree. Another group of guys shimmedContinue reading “Good Friday”
Walking on Dry Ground
Day 94 – I thought I would figure out how to do a YouTube video. It’s my first one. It’s not perfect, but I hope you can hear my heart in it. We are going through a lot right now. Collectively and yes, with some united fronts, but we are also going through this differently,Continue reading “Walking on Dry Ground”
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”
Unraveling
Day 7 – I am terrible at waiting. Seriously. It’s not the grocery store-long line waiting. It’s the “I have little control over something and I have to wait for someone else to follow through” kind of waiting. A college course in “Relinquishing Control 101” is a definite requirement. There was a situation on Saturday,Continue reading “Unraveling”
Linger at the Table
Oxford defines the word linger as: to stay in a place longer than necessary because of a reluctance to leave. I have an incredible groups of ladies who like to gather around a table for dinner every month. I wish everyone could experience a table like this. It’s our tradition to serve everything at theContinue reading “Linger at the Table”
