I am sitting in my living room on an overstuffed cream chair with a cup of green tea and a book on grief. The crackle of the candle on the window sill is almost drowned out by the ocean wave sounds coming from my speaker. I can smell the scent of pumpkin roll coming from… Continue reading Thoughts of An Introvert

Eyes To See
As I mentioned previously on this little blog things are moving quickly. Yesterday we did the inspection on the house and while there were several things brought to my attention I was assured by the professional (the inspector) that these items were a given for a house of this age. In fact, it was in… Continue reading Eyes To See
A Quick Turnaround
So I have some good news! I bought a house! Literally within days of writing my last post about the process, I made an offer and it was accepted. No one was more than shocked then me! Prior to seeing the house I was on the phone with one of my besties and was sharing… Continue reading A Quick Turnaround
Finding Value In The Process
These days I find myself looking for a new home. The journey (as always) has been interesting. About a month ago I fell in love with a house. It had all of the stuff I wanted and then some. It checked off my check boxes and created a few new ones. The seller was an… Continue reading Finding Value In The Process
Unparalleled Peace
I was walking with a friend outside. It was midday summer; perfect and sunny. We had just come from lunch where we had the benefit of eating outside.

When my grandmother passed away, she was there, standing in the gap. She and my own mother grew closer and I knew she was like a… Continue reading Thoughts on Suffering

But woe to him who is alone when he falls and does not have another to lift him up.” Over a year ago I… Continue reading Walking Together
Thank You Tiffany
I’ve been pretty vocal about my feelings in this season of “recovery”. I know the Father sees it as recovery though for me it has just felt sad. Lots of negative emotions have been my experience (loneliness, broken heartedness, anxiety) and that was precisely why I ran as hard as I could away from the… Continue reading Thank You Tiffany
Unwrapped Gifts
It’s been a whirlwind of a year and though I received so many presents during my last birthday I wasn’t able to enjoy them all. It wasn’t until I found a few in a drawer that I even knew some had been forgotten. I texted a friend asking if she was the one who had… Continue reading Unwrapped Gifts
Chess Moves
I played with a friend last summer and every time I beat him. Every time. It may seem odd but I realized then that it wasn’t fun winning all the time. I realized it was because I wasn’t being challenged. Not everyone enjoys a challenge but I definitely do.
