So let’s just say I didn’t do to sporty on my own test. The questions I asked HERE about what parts of us need tending to and caring for hit a little close to home in my own heart. And in the figuring out of things, I’ve connected a few dots that just might make
You are a good girl. A loving mother, sister, friend, employee, employer, spouse, auntie, cousin…we could go on and on listing the roles that you fulfill to the many people that you impact and influence. And we are repeatedly told in direct and subtle ways that to fulfill these roles to the best of our

Tears fall hot as she whispers the truth she wishes he didn’t know…forehead pressed against the concrete barrier in front of her. Of course he

The idea that my soul can be at peace and all can be well despite the circumstances at once beckons me and confounds me. The Bible speaks of it, Jesus preached
When I was a younger woman…ahem…I had some notions about who I would be and what I might be like when I got “older” (like maybe say in my 40’s). I imagined that I would have some things nailed down, frayed edges made smooth and dusty corners made tidy. Fear would no longer be a
