...I was getting tired and just wishing I could disappear into the underbrush away from people to just rest when suddenly above my head a branch came crashing down about a yard in front of me. It felt like...

I stepped a few yards off the trail when a branch just randomly fell down next to me(there was no wind at all) and at about the same time..

That tooth was dead and was going to kill me if I don't get it out of my mouth soon! I also learned that it can cause referred pain to...

No, I didn't actually leave my body. But my focus did... The last several weeks I've been consumed with clearing out clutter and things of the past that no longer serve me. My friend also needed me to bring her home from the hospital after surgery so that took up another day. As well as finishing up and clearing out online clutter. Then I had a consultation at an oral surgeon and had to get a driver because I don't have a vehicle currently only to have it cost 3x more than I

I could have gotten myself a run of the mill instrument for cheap but I wanted something unique and not just seen everywhere so I did...

Can you imagine yourself in a beautiful garden, on a misty late spring morning, watching an oriole bathing in the birdbath in tune to the...

Here's a list of all the new recipes I tried this month. Some of them I tried because I had something that needed to be used up. Others I tried just because. Some of them I didn't have all the ingredients so I had to switch it with something else. Oatmeal is hard for me to get down because of negative childhood memories but I can eat it better if it's baked. I came across this maple pecan baked oatmeal and decided to try it. My favorite part was that some of the pecans were q

There's a memory that keeps coming to mind the last several days... It was a moment when I was studying the Bible years ago and I was reading the passage where Jesus told his followers that they will do the same things he does (John 14:12) and not just that, but greater things than he does. I remember pondering this and wondering if Jesus healed mostly with his hands than why in today's world is there so little healing happening in the christian religion. Instead what I saw a

It has been hard work over the years to face the darkness and pain inside of me. It doesn't seem to get easier except I find myself more...

Last night I unfollowed a number of people on social media because I cannot handle the pain of the events that they share. For a while now I've been pondering what is the best course of action that I can take regarding all the horrible traumatic things happening around the world and even more so, in this country. There are times I find myself feeling another's hopelessness in their situation. Another's horror at justice gone wrong. Another's fear of what lies ahead. Another's

I am so proud of myself. I never dreamed I'd be able to do as much as I have in the last several days. All of a sudden it looks fun and...

I am so happy! It's been a crazy week with all the decisions, sleepless nights, and all the beautiful things that have been happening...

I was sitting outside drinking my homemade cacao drink and thoroughly enjoying the sunshine when I happened to look down and to my shock there was a bee sitting on my upper thigh as calm as could be like he was my best friend. My first reaction was panic but I didn't want to get stung. I managed to get it to climb on my mug handle to get it off me and it came up to the rim of my mug. Using a dried up leaf, I tried to get it off so it doesn't fall in my drink. It didn't want t

The last month or two has been quite the journey... exciting and full of curiosity but also a lot of moments of fear, worry and anxiety. But I don't regret any of it as I have learned so much and my curiosity just keeps growing...I find myself excited and anticipating good things to come. Before I start describing all the things that I've been learning, exploring and experiencing, I just want to mention that if you are not open-minded and are going to judge and criticize the

It is late but this memory has been weighing heavily on my mind since it came to the forefront last night. I have no idea what triggered it but I was just getting ready for bed and not particularly thinking about any one thing. I know I have briefly mentioned this in another blog post or two and I will spare the gruesome details but proceed at your own risk 🚩for this could be triggering to some...🚩 We had barn cats when I was growing up and we always loved playing with the

Today I did something I've never done before...I had a tea party with all my parts: past, present and future. My heart is full. 🤍

Here is a collection of all the new recipes I tried in January. I had started out creating these recipe posts as a meal to celebrate...

What little girl doesn't like a bedroom where she can pretend it's real life? Like being a princess in a castle? I decided that my...

A bit ago I was thinking about perfectionism and the role it has played in my life. I remember different people throughout my life telling me that maybe I'm trying to hard. I find it hard at times when people I work with don't seem to care about their work or they don't seem to care about how their actions affect others. I don't want to be upset with them but I just don't get the mindset. For me, I think perfectionism started when I was still quite young and I saw a plaque in
