The Narrow Path

I was sitting in my living room yelling affirmations at the screen while I watched a documentary on a Paleolithic lifestyle/diet. Everything I've been doing for the last 3 years with my diet and exercise was vindicated when I heard people describing their prior chronic health issues: fatigue, hair loss, hormonal imbalance, brain fog, emotional … Continue reading The Narrow Path

What a Year!

As a person prone to brooding over everything, good or bad, I take this time of year to reflect on the bygone year and take stock of all the blessings God has given us. Here are a list of the top 10 blessings, some in disguise, my family experienced from the last year: 10) Yoga … Continue reading What a Year!

Freedom Envy

This post makes me a bad person... Fortunately I have a good friend who pulled me back into reality. I woke up this morning for the third time around 6:00AM... not for another pregnancy bathroom break, but because my son was awake. As we are still in our temporary living situation, I opted to console … Continue reading Freedom Envy

Gypsies

We are in between homes; wanderers, strangers, nomads. Like the Romani people (minus the fortune telling) who lived as wanderers making a living … Continue reading Gypsies

It Is Well

I have a hard time making sense of things myself- we pay all our bills, my husband has a good job, we pray over every decision before we act, and yet somehow, in spite of all those things, we … Continue reading It Is Well

We received some good news after about two weeks worth of trials; the offer we made on the new house was accepted! Praise God for that answered prayer. To celebrate, my husband brought home surprise Jones Soda and natural vanilla bean ice cream. I hugged him and cried for minutes solid because, doggone it, that … Continue reading Home

Thy Will Be Done

I heard a song by Hilary Scott called, "Thy Will". I don't think there has ever been a time when it could have resonated with me more than right now. My family and I are obligated to vacate our home in 23 days. If everything goes smoothly with our impending purchase contract, our closing will … Continue reading Thy Will Be Done

Children, Go Where I Send Thee.

What. A. Week. Just an absolute crap fest of a week. My life proves Murphy's quantum Law: "Murphy's Quantum Law: Anything that can, could have, or will go wrong, is going wrong, all at once. If there are two or more ways to do something, and one of those ways can result in a catastrophe or pregnancy, then someone will do it." So there … Continue reading Children, Go Where I Send Thee.
