Life Lately
I found out Wednesday that the reason I was still feeling bad (it kept getting worse) is that I had strep in addition to the flu! The benefit of it being strep is that I could take an antibiotic! After less than 24 hours on it, I felt so much better. I’m still not 100%…

As I Reflect on 2024
Spending some time alone this last morning of 2024. As I reflect on this year, I have had some high highs and low lows. Some days felt impossible. Some days felt as though my mental health had healed. While it’s sad when I realize my brain still struggles some times, my therapist reminds me to…

Acceptance
I feel like I’m coming into a new phase of life. The past few days during my prayer journaling, I have just felt God’s presence and peace in new ways. I shared these things on Facebook, but I’m going to expand on them here. I’m learning that it’s okay to have less active seasons. It’s…

Messy and Beautiful- Cease Striving

10 Questions for Reflection & Discernment
Emily P. Freeman is one of my favorite podcasters and authors. Every year, she puts out “10 Questions for Reflection & Discernment,” and I love to answer these questions each year as a reflection of my previous year and the beginning of a new year. This is from the pdf with those questions: What worked? So…

Hygge Life: What Does it Mean for Me?
As much as I have a hard time in the winter historically, the winters that have been my best have been when I embraced the Hygge Life. What does that mean? It is a Danish word that means (from the Miriam-Webster Dictionary): Noun: “a cozy quality that makes a person feel content and comfortable.” Adjective:…

Healing Through Being Wild and Free
My family and two other families at camp went to the Gila National Forest to camp for 5 days (well I guess technically 3 because a day of driving on both ends). The purpose of this trip was to do some research and development for a trip that Robert is going to do this summer…
