Just. Great. Busy. Empty words that don’t really mean anything. They’re almost worse than “you know” and “like.” Words like these need to be eliminated from my vocabulary. I think the word that bugs me the most is “busy.” As in, “I cannot have lunch with you because I’m so busy.” When I find myself…

Literally, to see again. And, since 2018 is now firmly in the rear view mirror, I’m taking a peek back at a couple of goals and sharing where I am now. In 2017, Keck and I went on a cruise and tried something called “snuba” a low-depth cross between scuba diving and snorkeling. We learned…

In September 2018, I heard Noah Scalin speak on the Art of Innovation. To challenge his ability to perpetually create and to make a practice of doing innovation every day, Noah set about creating skull-a-day designed from found objects and published them immediately. I thought: If he can design a skull every day — I…
Read MoreOver the course of the past year, I’ve been hooked on the Sensible Shoes Series by Sharon Garlough Brown. The book is like therapy. Through her rich characters, Garlough Brown tells the fictional story of four women who have come together through divine coincidence for a spiritual journey retreat. Throughout the entire story, I found myself…
Read More{Re}peat: I wrote this post back in May 2011. Here it is again, on the last day of palindrome week 7-19-17. Enjoy! My commute to work is often long and boring. So to entertain myself, I’ve been marking palindromes on my odometer. A palindrome is a word or phrase that’s the same forward and backward.…
Read MoreFollowing the 2016 election, I was glued to social media, or SoMe as I like to call it. The news, Flipboard, CNN, NPR. The result: Nightmares. Anxiety. Discontent. Anger. Frustration. I finally took Facebook off my phone so I wouldn’t be tempted to look at it when I wasn’t at my laptop. Then, I put…
Read MoreSo far 2017 has been a beast. It’s stolen treasure from our family. My sister-in-law’s mother died December 22. My precious grandmother died at 91 from a bout with pneumonia on January 19. On January 23, the day we laid grandmother to rest, we got word that my husband’s mother had died while we were away.…
Read MoreIt won’t happen again until 2034. A supermoon as close as the one this year. It was unbelievably breathtaking. The predawn showing of our luminous, celestial guardian of the night was stunning. God flung it into the sky to orbit the earth. The author of Genesis says it presides over the night. As the lesser…
Read MoreSeveral years ago, I read The Checklist Manifesto. One of the most interesting stories was the one of Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger, the pilot who safely landed US Airways Flight 1549 in the Hudson River in January of 2009. It seems an extensive checklist guided the pilot and crew to skillfully and ably land a plane in…
Read MoreI’m a little gutted. Beth Moore stole my thunder. The {re} prefix was all mine. Her voice is admittedly bigger than mine, and when she talks many people listen to her. In a world cluttered with Christian bloggers and writers I really didn’t think that mine could be heard. I kept my thoughts in confinement.…
