Today is…
I have officially declared today a no make-up, sweat pants and t-shirt, green tea, futon lounging, tv and reading, watch the snowfall land on the lake kind of day. I like these days 🙂

Bastard Wrinkles and The Like.
All I want to do right now is curl up with either my December edition of Women’s Health or Cold Tangerines by Shauna Niequist on my futon in my beautiful, quaint apartment. I think my muscles just relaxed at the thought of it. However I feel it necessary to paint you a real picture of…

Uncomfortably Full, Fat, and Happy Thanksgiving!
The family has gone home. The bird has been de-boned and divvied up. The dessert plates have been washed and put back in storage and the casseroles, stuffing, and freshly baked rolls are no more than a not-so-distant memory. Well, in truth, they’re actually quite present as an uncomfortable rock sitting in my stomach. And to continue…

Appreciation + Gratitude =
If you know that you are appreciated and when you experience gratitude from others, you begin to walk with a little more clarity through life. They are two simple things but I do believe they are necessary for moving past the past. Those two things, they never cease to be a breath of fresh air…

You can over think something to death.
I’ve seen it happen and it can be tragic. I know because I’ve been both a culprit and a victim of over thinking; I believe we all have. Sometimes, thinking things through carefully and intensively is necessary. Sometimes, it’s counterproductive. The struggle is finding that balance between need and needless.

Challenge Yourself to Do New Things.
It’s 11pm already. *Sigh* Can someone tell me where my time goes? This year is slipping through my fingers so fast I’ve nearly forgotten what month it is. October? Already? It seems like yesterday I was living in my faux apartment in the downstairs of my aunt and uncle’s house, working at a public accounting…

Drive Home
Driving home today with my windows down, I felt a sad awareness that I haven’t been to my parents’ home in a while. It’s the night drive that does it. I love the night drive from Grand Rapids to my hometown. I don’t know why. There’s nothing spectacular about it. I want to experience it…

Some Things are Bigger than Us…
Lord, Thank you for continuing to grow me and for teaching me to set aside my own plans to make way for your purpose. Proverbs 19:21. “Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.” Help me to be the woman who I desire so desperately to be.…
