Rant: Training a Husband

So, I have the day off today, for which I am every so grateful. It was pretty much worth the hours upon hours of work for the Full-Scale Exercise my team did last week if it resulted in a couple days off without using PTO. And I fully intend to use today to write forContinueContinue reading “Rant: Training a Husband”

The Need for Silence

First things first – head over to my other blog (http://storyidyls.blogspot.com/) and check out my most recent post on fear of failure! Because you all know that is my favorite subject, so I couldn’t resist posting about it on there too and am currently working hard not to regret it. Second things second: I loveContinueContinue reading “The Need for Silence”

Of Dances and Writing

I know I haven’t posted a real post in awhile. And yes, it means what it usually does – I haven’t been writing since July. It’s not that I haven’t wanted to – I’ve just been insanely busy. I haven’t had a chance to write, read, post, or keep up with friends. This past week,ContinueContinue reading “Of Dances and Writing”

This Chaotic World

I haven’t written in awhile I know – I have been surprisingly busy – or too tired. One or the other. I took a work trip to Phoenix, which was just lovely. The only down side, of course, was that my husband wasn’t with me. Around that time, my progress in CampNaNo began collapsing andContinueContinue reading “This Chaotic World”

Happy Independence Day!

So, I thought about doing a politically based post today. Mostly because of some stuff the pastor said in church yesterday that got me thinking. But you know what? My church also played a video at the beginning of the service and a couple of the sentences stuck out to me. “For this one day,ContinueContinue reading “Happy Independence Day!”

Ode to the Ocean

So last weekend we went to the beach with a couple of friends. It is amazing how just some sand, sun, and water can completely change your perspective and mood. I’d been going through a super depressed slump, both due to some personal things and because of the current political environment. Since I do wantContinueContinue reading “Ode to the Ocean”

The Harm in Innocent Wishes

So I recently finished Mere Christianity. Believe it or not, it is the first C.S. Lewis book I’ve ever finished outside of the Narnia series. Took me a long time to get through it – mostly because I have a hard time with nonfiction. Give me a fiction book, and I will devour it voraciouslyContinueContinue reading “The Harm in Innocent Wishes”

America’s Current Shame

You know I don’t write on politics or current issues very often. That is both because I hate confrontation, am filled with fear of confrontation, and because politics and current issues tend to make me so upset that I can scarcely breathe. My insides swell up and all I want to do is scream withContinueContinue reading “America’s Current Shame”

Simple Joy

I know I haven’t written in a while. It isn’t that I haven’t wanted to. In fact, I have had multiple ideas and desires for blog posts, for multiple subjects. I wanted to write posts on friendship, the transgender movement, the presidential election, Trump, writing, growing up, fear, and who knows what else. However, myContinueContinue reading “Simple Joy”
