Day 21
Today we officially started house hunting. We are a large family of seven in a shoe box house. I am sort of deflated. When we find a house that fits our family it doesn’t fit our budget. If it fits the budget the house is always missing something. We have been renting the shoe box…

Day 20
Mean what you say and say what you mean. Own the words coming out of your mouth. Own your beliefs. None of this…”well… I…..uh…” No, stop that. Don’t give a solid, strong, authoritative, statement or speech then end it with…a lukewarm statement. Just don’t. Everything you said before is lessened now. When a self proclaimed…

Day 19
I dream about home and writing when I should be doing other things. Sometimes focusing is difficult. I try not to stifle daydreaming. Some of my best ideas come when my brain is playing. Let your mind wander when you can and let it know that is it not in a box. Tell your mind…

Day 18
Long day. Many things to be thankful for. Trying to get ready for sleep and my kids are procrastinating. I know I’ll miss them when they are grown and leave home. I miss their big sister and her children something awful. How do you balance the want for the future and desire for time to…

Day 17
The problem with saying, ” I am a Christian.” is all Christians are NOT the same. Humanity has twisted the word Christian. There are humble Christians, Holier than you Christians, Sunday Only Christians, Look How Successful I am I give pennies to charity Christians, Arrogant Christians, and Human Loving Christians. I am a Christian. I…

Day 15
Halfway through January and people are still whining about last year. In the words of the famous snow princess, let it go. There is nothing a human can do about last year. Unless you have a time machine, leave last year alone. Stop picking it back up. Don’t look backwards, you are not going that…

Day 14
I am feeling a bit overwhelmed. I look at all the authors floating through my newsfeeds and say, “I am lost in a sea of headshots and book covers.” What makes me special? All these storytellers and word spinners think they are special too. We are all correct and terribly wrong in the same moment.…

Day 13
Life is a cake walk for some and digging ditches for others. I’ve been at both ends of the line. Today life is amazing, less ditches and more cake. If I could telepathically send all my life experience and common sense to my children and grandchildren that would be great. How do you share experience…

Day 12
Almost two weeks into the new year and I see why people struggle to keep resolutions. I decided this year to make goals not resolutions. One of my big goals is to save an additional $2000 over my regular saving plan. That means no impulse shopping and online buying. Let a sparkling set of dice,…
