Some things I enjoy…
Work week lunch dates The sight of my beau in a baseball cap after a morning of working up a sweat outside Vanilla Chai tea ALL DAY to replace the sludge they call coffee at work Fresh air and plenty of it Everyday shop banter The way people’s faces light up when they’re cracking themselves…

Different Types of Noise
When you live or work in constant noise, it becomes a dull hum to you. Every once in a while you might absent mindedly tune in to realize that your environment really is quite loud, but more often than not, you are immune to the sound. Even though you don’t hear it, however, it has…

Transmission = Permission
I drive a black 1999 Ford Taurus. She’s done me right since I was 16 years old but as of late, she’s been acting a little funny. Today, I took her in and talked to a gentlemen who gave me the diagnosis I thought to mention but to which I did not want to commit:…

A Jubilant Valentine's Day to You
Today is Saint Valentine’s Day, a day historically known for the recognition of Christian martyrs by the name “Valentine” but which has since become an iconic day of love and romance, colored with roses, chocolates and champagne. It’s a day that young couples wait for, married couples pray not forget, and single people altogether curse.…

1/1/11: To Ski or Not to Ski?
Happy new year, my resolute friends! We have officially made it into 2011. As is often the case on the 1st of January, I have spent today doing nothing of importance to mark the line between 2010 and 2011; the day has simply drifted by silently while the Mitten mourned its poor performing football teams.…

Typically, I find myself setting these resolutions as need arises…

Anyway, the quotation reads: “Christmas… that magic blanket that wraps itself about us, that something so intangible that it is like a fragrance. It may weave a spell of nostalgia. Christmas may be a day of…

Forward Looking. Present Living.
I am so grateful for the people God has placed into my life. I’m also really looking forward to some things in the near future (family, friends, concerts, etc.). I called out for a break and I feel as though God has been sending small opportunities my way!

Reflection Questions for 2010
It’s that time of year again; it’s time to reflect on 2010 and begin planning for 2011, to think up what resolutions I will drop and which I will keep and to evaluate which have already been completed. The end of the year is always a time of reflection and this year, I have much…

Un-rutting Steps
I’ve received some great advice over the years. Most recently, I was told to take things one day at a time. Do you ever feel like you’ve gotten yourself into a rut? You’re always tired. You’re always waking up later than your alarms rather than with them. You don’t leave time in the morning to…
