Questions for Reflection & Discernment and Processing 2025
Looking Toward 2026 Less is more. That’s the thing. That’s my main take-away from 2025. Every year, Emily P. Freeman (podcaster and author) 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. What…

My Dream Life
I’ve been writing on Substack, and I don’t think I like it. It feels much less like ME and less personal. I don’t know why it feels that way. Maybe because I’ve had this blog for a lot of years! But anyway. I think I’m going to write here again. I have a lot on…

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%…

Learning To Be More Intentional
I have been trying to write a blog post for days. It has felt nearly impossible because I’ve had the flu. It just won’t go away! Because of this, my thoughts are kind of all over the place. I keep going to bed hoping that I will wake up feeling better the next day, then…

Clarity
Every single day, I feel more and more clarity in my mind and heart. It’s really hard to put into words. On a normal day, even in my “good seasons,” there is a heaviness, anxiety, and fear that is just always there. It’s like my brain is always scanning and trying to figure out what…

Letting Go of Fear, One Minute at a Time
My mental health honestly exhausts me. Monday, I felt so good. I had done a hard hike, spent time in God’s ceration with my hubby, and the weather was perfect. I had a weird night of sleep that night (as usual). I tend to have vivid dreams most nights. I sleep “enough,” but it’s not…

Back to Wild + Free Mama
I have been working on revamping my blog (again). I let the paid version go because I didn’t want to pay for it since I didn’t make money. After that happened, I realized that I wasn’t ready to let it go. I had a 30% off coupon code, so I paid for the premium version…

Food, Fitness, Grace, Identity, and True Peace
I have had a pretty rough few months. Last week, I really thought I was slipping back into deep depression. It’s hard to put into words, but I couldn’t function. When I have days like that, I assume the worst. It’s hard not to! Through this hard season, I’m learning WHO I am, what I…

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…

A Peaceful Christmas
Did you know that snow accumulation produces reduction in sound? I think that’s why I love the snow so much. It’s so calming and peaceful. Unfortunately, it doesn’t last long. As soon as the snow starts melting and refreezing, it becomes more dense, which amplifies sound. My Advent readings have been reminding me of something…
