Shopping has never been one of my favorite activities, and recently I had an experience that further reinforced my opinion on the matter. One morning a few weeks ago, I took an innocent trip to Fred Meyer, to pick up a few things–you know, that were on my list that day. When I got ready…

My Cup Runneth Over…Not!
I was reading in Psalms 23 the other day, where David talks about how his “cup runneth over” I know he was talking about the goodness and mercy of God, but somehow it made me think of my cup (size, that is…). Sometimes this becomes a topic of conversation, comparison, or competition with women. Well,…
“Beach Bod” is a Fraud
So…it appears that Summer’s here again, even though in my neck of the woods it’s wet and cold, and I’m still wearing a sweater most days. Warm weather attire hasn’t made its way into the light yet. How about you? What are you wearing these days? Do you know where your swimsuit is? Do you…
“The Love Float”
The Love Float Root beer floats “speak” love to me. When I was a little girl, the highlight of visiting my grandpa on his farm was sitting next to him as he drove his old truck to the A&W drive-in. A few minutes later, we were headed home with a big, sloshing jug, full of…
Feeling like a pile of rocks?
Photo by Luis Cortes Martinez on Unsplash This morning, as I was doing my daily devotional reading, I came across a verse I have read several times, but today it touched me in a whole new way. It is this: “…behold I say unto you, that by small and simple things are great things brought…
Laughter-the best medicine
Laughter: the Best Medicine Having a tough day? Find yourself looking through the pantry for something to calm your nerves? Chocolate can ease the stress for a moment, but I know of something even better, with lasting benefits. Just like crazy Uncle Albert in Mary Poppins, I love to laugh! Although, it’s never lifted me…
Make Every Birthday the Best One Yet!
Today is my birthday!! I am 49 years old/young. To celebrate, I’m going to take my body for a long hike, feed her some good food, and then let her relax with a massage and a nap. She works hard, and deserves the love and pampering. I don’t show her often enough how much I…
Mommy Body ABCs
I have vivid memories of the week after giving birth to my first baby. Standing in the shower, looking down at my “bread-dough” belly, my fleshy hips, and my leaking breasts, I wondered if this was some kind of cruel joke. (Am I the only one who was unpleasantly surprised by her postpartum body?) Several…
A Love Letter For Life
Have you ever gotten a great love letter? One of those that makes your heart flutter, your eyes water and your cheeks flush? Yeah, me neither. It’s a nice dream, though. My husband is not much of a romantic that way, but I never doubt his love for me because of the way he treats…
Top Dos and Don’ts for Maximum Energy
We are all energy. Everything in the world is made up of different energies, moving at different speeds and frequencies. I’ve read a lot of books about how our energies attract each other, through our thoughts and what we focus on. Frequencies that are similar, flow toward each other, whether they be low(negative) or high(positive)….
