There’s something I haven’t told you
I couldn’t shake the sense that I had betrayed myself.
Anxiety Calling
Anxiety has been knocking at my door a lot lately. Whether it’s been about the migraines, a troublesome lack of focus, the challenges of a new relationship, or really anything at all, anxiety found a way to slide in. Thankfully, I “stumbled” across an ad for an event that Joyce Meyer was livestreaming on anxiety…
Catch 22
Water rises up to the edge of my eyelid, falls into my lashes, and dribbles down my cheek as I watch the screen. My mind is connecting with what I am hearing in a way that I don’t yet have words for, so the tears come. Tears of relief, joy, and hope. Tears for the…
Long time no see…
So here goes. I haven’t written in a while – a long while. It would be easy to offer up the fact that things have been busy and crazy in my life lately. That’s actually true, though it isn’t the whole story. So much has been happening that I could write about. But I couldn’t…
Just Stay … please?
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but… You are not alone. You are seen. You belong. You are needed. You are no accident. You were made with intention, regardless of what’s happened since. You have a purpose, despite all the pain. So, stick around a little while longer to see what it will…
Trust is letting go Pt. II
I’m letting go. It’s a cloudy winter afternoon and I’m running late. Snow is falling lightly and turning to slush on the roads. If left undisturbed for a minute or more, it turns to ice in the bitter cold. Mindful of the time, I keep pace with the cars gliding down the highway. But when…

Seeing the big picture
Have you ever found yourself faced with a challenge that is so big and so overwhelming that you can’t tell whether you’re winning or losing? Maybe you get sick or hurt and need to undergo a medical procedure. Thankfully, you have insurance, so you’re not responsible for most of the cost to address it. So,…
Time Travel: This is PTSD
It doesn’t matter what I’m doing or where I am. I could be reading quietly or sitting at a table eating amongst friends and, in an instant, I’m transported. The book, the table, the commotion around me withdraws and instead, I am inserted into a vivid, living moment from my past. And usually, it’s a…
She said, “save yourself.”
“Save Yourself.” With those two little words, my wise, straight-dealing grandmother was telling me that pretending to have no needs, no hurts, and no complaints, wasn’t worth the trouble. I’m not used to that idea, especially when it comes to me. What I AM used to is appearing under control at all times. Partly a…
