Cookbooks are Cool
I love to collect cookbooks. Especially pretty fabric covered ones. The thing is cookbooks I love, actually cooking I do not. Baking I enjoy and I am fairly good at it. I’m a good cook too but I just don’t enjoy it. Today’s thought, do what you enjoy even if it doesn’t make sense to…

Forgiveness is Ugh!
I know that forgiveness is necessary. I have forgiven so much. Some of it won’t stay forgiven. I have to forgive it over and over. I can forgive however I cannot forget. The thing is, I don’t have to forget. I just have to forgive. Then I have to release the anger. I’m working on…
