On Sharing. (Or the lack thereof…) I never wanted to be one of “those people.” You know the ones that pedal their wares like a bouquet of smelling salts under your nose, in hopes you’d come to your senses and buy what they’re selling. You know, “those people” who you sort of dread bumping […]
By now you may have heard of the “one word” concept, where you select what is to be your one word for the year. The word that would encompass the powerful intent of the primary goal or outcome you want to achieve or what you’d truly like to experience. It’s a powerful tool and it […]
When we let go of what was, we make room for what could be. All too often we hold someone in a prison of the past and throw away the key instead of sliding it into the pocket of forgiveness and letting the caged bird free. Both the person we are holding in that dingy […]
It’s hard to imagine. Both then and now. That call or instantaneous moment of knowingness that your loved one is no longer here or that the great likelihood of their not being here is imminent.

I forgot for a moment who I am and what I’ve done. Got swept away by fear and carried off into a forest of forgetfulness. Not remembering the journey I’ve been on and the waters I’ve crossed. Barefoot and bloody, the path at times muddy. I hit the snooze bar on those former ambitions and […]
Some things won’t let go of you~ Like the niggle and the nudge, asking you to budge. To move about with ease and grace to that which occupies and encumbers your space… For me~ this beautiful, Divine, and Holy grip of God has been the long whispered call to ministry. It’s been a slow and […]
