A new approach. I hope you like it.

Sometimes, new is good. I hope you’ll overlook the fact that I am reposting. I wanted to see what this looked like. Maybe I’ll post something like this every end-of-month, so in case you didn’t read a post, they are all in one place.

So, what do you think?

Besides, trying something new is good, right? And considering it’s the end of the month, it works out well.

Plus, I like being able to see my posts this way as well. It’s been two months of reflection and sorting things out. Mental health, identifying the truly important, and relationships. Some pretty heady subjects. But what else is there to do in these two dark, cold months?

Now, I contend with this Afib diagnosis. I’m having a hard time adjusting to the medications. But I try to see things in perspective. It’s not terminal. It’s treatable. Perspective certainly helps. Besides, I’m an overcomer in Christ.

If faith doesn’t work during times of illness, when will it?

I hope you have a great weekend and blessings to each of you.

  • What do you do when someone needs help?

    I will be very careful how I write this. I follow a blog that I’m seriously considering “unfollowing”. Mostly because I need to say something to this woman but don’t want to do it on her blog. That seems wrong to me. But she’s in big trouble and she doesn’t even know it.  And her… Read more

  • When your guilt-free bubble bursts, what do you do?

    When your guilt-free bubble bursts, what do you do?

    Wouldn’t you just know it? You come up with a great idea and you excitedly post about it. You know it’s going to help so many. And, of course, you know that because you’ve come up with such a great concept, you’ve got “it” licked. Right? Wrong. Read more

    Another great cooking triumph and it’s b-e-u–u-u tiful, too.

    I’m on a roll. I’ve been experimenting with some bruschetta recipes. It doesn’t always have to be tomatoes, fresh mozarella cheese, and basil. I made a “sweet’ version for hubby and I last night, using strawberries, ricotta cheese, a vanilla-sugar sprinkle, and a type of Crostini. I hope you have an Aldi’s nearby because that’s where… Read more

    the week in review and “I don’t know how to vote”

    What a couple of weeks in the political arena, huh? But more about that later: This past week I continued on with my theme of change as well as some other subjects. Monday I posted a recipe for a Galette. I was so proud. Not only was it great tasting but it was “purdy“, as well.… Read more

    Here’s some great candlestick projects

    I love candlesticks. I hate to think how many I have stashed away. In fact, I need to go check that out when I’m done here. There’s so much that can be created with them. Here’s some of my favorite projects. Just click on the pic (Hey, that rhymes, doesn’t it? I’m such a poet.)… Read more

  • Why we all need a “guilt-free” zone.

    Why we all need a “guilt-free” zone.

    Last Saturday, during my week in review, I mentioned I came up with an original phrase that I am now claiming as my own. I’ve never read it anywhere but I was having a conversation with someone and there it was escaping my lips and I thought, “Wow. I really like this.” The more I thought… Read more
