Self care
I had so many plans for today. However just as I was getting my morning started I got really cold. I mean my feet were ice cold. So I turned the a/c up to 75 and was still ice cold so I thought I will just crawl under the covers for a bit and the get started on my day. Two hours later I was still cold and a bit achy. Not to mention quite disappointed that I didn’t feel good enough to work on any of the projects I had planned for the day. Finally by 12:15 I gave in and called the YW to let them know I…
30th High School Reunion
WOW I can hardly believe that I have been out of school this long. I don’t know about you but I am always such a mixed bag of emotions leading up to my reunions. I am really super excited until about the week of and then the dread and insecurity sets in and I spend a majority of the week changing my mind about attending. I have gone to all of them except the 15th. The negative voices won out that year. They lost by a very narrow margin for my 20th. It was snowing that evening and even during the 45 minutes drive I was second guessing my decision.…
Just one of those days….
I know I am not alone in this thought that I just want to go back to bed and start the day over. I have many things on my mind lately. Today was just another of those days where no matter what I did I just couldn’t keep up. Things were out of sync. I was working on my business cards and none of the graphics were looking right. I didn’t get dinner until after 7:30 and I really try not to eat after 6pm. The icing on the cake was a set of colored pencils I had in my shopping cart went from $29.99 to $49.99 today. So it…
Strength
This past Saturday was the women’s breakfast at our church. It was so awesome. The topic was Strength. Several things stood out to me during the message. Our pastor’s wife Ashley spoke about not only strength but weakness. She said “God’s strength is our weakness “ and referenced “How long, LORD? Will you forget me? How long will you hide your face from me? How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and day after day have sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy triumph over me? ~Psalm 13: 1-2 (NIV)and 2 Corinthians 12:9 (NIV) “But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my…
How do you decompress?
So I had the bright idea that I wanted to have my Etsy shop show in the sidebar of my blog. I found a plug-in, installed it, got my API key, set up the plug-in, and placed the widget in my sidebar. Perfect right?? NOPE. It doesn’t work. I spent over 20 hours between Saturday afternoon and Sunday evening trying to get it to work. That and a plug-in to show my most recent blog post on my non WordPress website main index.html page. You guessed it that one doesn’t work either. I contacted the developers of both. The one for the Advanced Etsy Widget plug-in got back to me…
Fear is a Liar
Almost anyone who knows me is well aware that music holds a very special place in my life. I have a wide range as far as to the type of music that I like. Christian music is currently my number one go genre. There are so many great artists out there. Today I will be writing about ”Fear is a Liar” by Zach Williams From the moment I first heard it on the radio I was deeply moved. I have heard those negative words he sings about more times than I can count. I was driving one day last week when it came on the radio and I broke down…
