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.

  • Why “how” we’re thinking is important.

For me, I’m often trying on some piece of clothing when I’m asking that question. But most people stop there. It never occurs to them that asking the question means there probably would’ve Read more

  • If you need some fall inspiration, check these out

    I wanted to show you some adorable pumpkins that cost me a whole dollar. It’s a styrofoam pumpkin from the Dollar Tree. Take out the stem and make the opening larger. Use an 18″ piece of fabric, (not too thick), bring up the sides and push into hole working the fabric in. I use scissors Read more
