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.

It is doing God’s will and obeying his commandments. This is how our prayers get answered. Nothing short of obedience to God’s will satisfy God. Keeping Read more

    How to defeat depression as fall quickly approaches

    Depression/anxiety makes us feel helpless and hopeless. So I try to keep the door to depression shut. I remind myself that I’m the one who’s in the driver’s seat, not depression. I work hard at allowing God more open doors. As the days become shorter, many people will find their depression returning. Depression has a Read more

  • A fifty-cent wreath. How cool is that?

    This is a quick fifty-cent wreath I made a few years ago. Thought we all needed to think about something other than this pandemic. We were at “Teeny Tiny Red Cabin” last weekend. Remember, I told you we pulled up carpet the weekend prior? Well, we painted this time. And, guess what? My favorite white, Read more
