    I am Done

    I am done with hateful people. I am done with social media chaos. I am done with an app for everything. I am done being a slave to money. I am done with complicated things. I am done worrying about what you think of me. I am done doubting myself. I am done changing myself…

    I am a Christian

    ““And I tell you, everyone who acknowledges me before others, the Son of Man also will acknowledge before the angels of God; but whoever denies me before others will be denied before the angels of God.”‭‭Luke‬ ‭12‬:‭8‬-‭9‬ ‭NRSV‬‬https://bible.com/bible/2016/luk.12.8-9.NRSV Anyone who knows me knows I am a Christian.

  • Who Cares?

    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

  • This is Who I am…

    Hi. My name is Lori O’Gara. Who am I? A nobody, really. I am not famous. I am a writer of contemporary fiction, fantasy, and real-life commentary. I am an advocate of human decency who believes that magic is real and love is a gift from God. I am a storyteller, a dreamer, a Christian,…

  • 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…
