If you are not ok (and that’s totally fine – I’ve been there.) please reach out for help. The holidays are a difficult time of yearContinue reading “Not Ok.”

Letting Go of Hate
As most of you know, I have an abusive ex-husband. I struggle daily with forgiveness and love for this individual. In my opinion, he doesn’t deserve it. Pure and simple. If it had just been his horrible treatment of me, maybe I could let it go. It wasn’t. He hurt our children. Not one orContinue reading “Letting Go of Hate”
Feed the Birds
Do you remember that song from “Mary Poppins?” The one about the old woman who sits on the steps to the cathedral and feeds the birds? She asks others to feed them too. She will provide the food for a small fee (a tuppence) and we can help her to take care of the lessContinue reading “Feed the Birds”
It Sucks to be Sick
It sucks to be sick, Here on the couch Sniffling, sneezing Like a tossed away pouch. My head gets to aching And I feel as I’m breaking Spinning, spinning the room goes round Who put me on this merry-go-round?

A Trauma Journal
I was recently intrigued by the thought of a trauma journal. It’s not that I haven’t heard of journaling for years and years, but this struck a different chord. It was a drawing journal. Ooh! Drawing! I love to draw. Ok, maybe I’m not professional at it, but I do love to draw, and evenContinue reading “A Trauma Journal”

Ok. Odd title. However, if you’ve been following me for a while, you know that I suffer from “BSOS” or “Bright Shiney Object Syndrome” aka ADHD. So…it came to my attention the other day and I was reminded of it today, that some people don’t know what to do in a Midwestern winter. That gotContinue reading “In the Bleak Midwinter…Car Stuff”

No Extra Cloak or Pair of Sandals
Do you remember this advice from Jesus in the Gospel? He tells his disciples to go out and spread the good news, but not to bring any extra provisions. Why? Because God himself will provide for them. Wow! That’s a pretty amazing concept! So, as most of you know, we have been on a longContinue reading “No Extra Cloak or Pair of Sandals”
Where I Stand…What Will You Do?
A few weeks ago I was discussing a delicate matter with a friend at the shelter. It was appalling to me that he had no real knowledge of the matter and yet had a very strong opinions on it! What? So, I asked him if he was ok with pulling children apart. He was like,Continue reading “Where I Stand…What Will You Do?”
One Simple Word
Did you ever think about how saying one nice thing to someone could change their whole day, their whole way of thinking around? This happened to me.
