    Who Cares?

    Recently I have been reading and following a few people on personal transformative journeys. My first thought was who cares what other people are doing when it is intensely personal and often difficult? It seemed to me at the time to be attention seeking and unhealthy. It was also like a train wreck. I could…

    What Would Happen….

    I have seen several posts on social media that say things like “What would happen if you dissappeared and worked on yourself for a year?” I posted a version of that to see what response I would get. I was disappointted. Few people responded. A year is a long time. Humans have a natural aversion…

    Old Hurts

    Just when you aren’t looking an old hurt, a forgiven hurt, pops up. You have forgiven the person and the thing they did to hurt you. You even forgot about it. Then there it is. Trying to get in your heart and scratch the scar. Tell it No. Hand it to Gods. Do not give…

    Dedicated Time

    Describe one habit that brings you joy. At the risk of sounding smitten, my husband and I devote the first hour of the day to each other. We sometimes talk about what the day holds. Sometimes we don’t talk at all. We made this commitment on day one when we decided to cohabitate. Nothing barring…

  • Do in Secret

    Write about a random act of kindness you’ve done for someone. I’m not one to talk about what I do for people out of kindness. That’s between me and God. Love & Light, Lori Mathew 6:3-5

  • Warm Food Memories

    What’s your go-to comfort food? When I want comfort it’s southern style buttermilk biscuits. Sometimes with white gravy. Also, big white Lima beans and sweet cornbread. Reminds me of my childhood. Love & Light, Lori

  • Socializing

    What would you change about modern society? We are a society that interacts with screens as our chaperones. We filter our thoughts and feelings through what we think is going to get us the most likes or follows. I am not a tech snob. I use technology. It has improved my productivity significantly. However the…

    What do you listen to while you work? I listen to audiobooks when I am working on something mundane. Audiobooks are my go to when driving and doing housework. Don’t let anyone shame you for the format you choose to read or the content you enjoy to read! Love & Light, Lori

    Both!

    Dogs or cats? All my life I’ve been a cat person and a dog person. However I preferred cats. They are easier to train, easier to take care of and cleaner as house pets. Then somehow over time and a few dogs later, I became so enamored with dogs that I can’t imagine how my…
