"For I know the plans I have for you", says the Lord, "plans to prosper and not to harm you, plans for a hope and a future."
The Bible, Book of Jeremiah, Chapter 29, v. 11

She was saved by God,
rock and roll,
and potato chips

Joyous Desolation

Friday, 2/5/21 Howdy! Glad to meet with you! I was walking along the shoreline one day when I saw these trees on their own little islet. I imagined them as two beings that were stripped bare and living in a grey desolate place yet they’re still raising their limbs with joy, in defiance of their… Continue reading Joyous Desolation

Introduction to ‘Grace’s Era’ of Childhood

Tuesday 2/2/21 (For brief explanations about ‘Grace’ and the fractured parts of my psyche, please see the post “Dissociation” dated 10/14/20, or ‘Cast of Characters In My Mind’ tab on the Home Page) Hi, how are you doing today?  I hope you had some good times this past weekend? Knowing I am going to write… Continue reading Introduction to ‘Grace’s Era’ of Childhood

Open Handed Hope

Fri 1/29/21 Welcome! Good to meet with you! Here’s one more thought about hope that was previously written for my GLP group . . . A beautiful place in Tennessee called Onsite Workshops, a personal growth/emotional wellness retreat center, offered a 30 day online version of their most popular workshop called ‘Living Centered’.  Because of… Continue reading Open Handed Hope

Becoming Sensitized

Tues. 1/26/21 Aloha! Do you, too, think that’s a beautiful greeting?  What’s a word that helps you to feel welcomed?    As mentioned in previous posts, I am getting in touch with my emotions on increasingly deeper levels.  It’s been quite a wild ride!  The ‘pendulum effect’ has been in full swing (pun intended:)) so… Continue reading Becoming Sensitized

New Beginnings

Fri. 1/22/21 Hi!  How is your day going?  Here’s another prayer I wrote for the GLP group.  This month’s theme is ‘Hope For New Beginnings’.  We gotta keep our hope up!   (There’s a personal observation before the prayer.) Lord knows, I’m all for New Beginnings.  So why is it I dread change?  Does it… Continue reading New Beginnings

Faith Prevails

Tues. 1/19/21 Welcome! Thank you for being here – always happy to meet with you. I mentioned in a recent post about how the depth of what I am actually feeling has been deepening substantially lately, and wow!  It’s a good God thing, I know, but who knew (well you, probably!) how much emotion one… Continue reading Faith Prevails

More Hope!

Friday, 1/15/21 Howdy, glad you could be here! Apparently the ‘Hope’ theme lasted quite awhile for the prayers I wrote for the GLP group  mentioned in an earlier post.  That’s good because I write and/or post what I have to express, learn, or need to be reminded of.  This past week had memories emerging and… Continue reading More Hope!

Splat!

Monday 1/12/21 Happy day to you, so glad you’re here!  I’ve recently finished house- and dog sitting for a friend of mine for the second time in the last few months.  While doing that I’ve had several self-teachable moments that range from hilarious to gut wrenching.   One of the funnier moments came when I was… Continue reading Splat!

Continuing With Prayers About Hope

Fri. 1/8/20 Hi! I hope you’re snuggling into 2021 well? Trying to keep hope alive with another prayer from GLP contributions . . . Several months ago I went to a place called Onsite Workshops in Tennessee.  People who are looking for a better quality of life and/or relationships can go there to work on… Continue reading Continuing With Prayers About Hope

Celebrating Us!

Wed 1/6/21 Welcome to 2021 – it’ll be an amazing year!  Let’s celebrate us now.  Last week I spent time owning up to and apologizing for a few things but didn’t mention how I’ve been evolving since then.  I love this quote from Joyce Meyer, “I’m not where I want to be, but thank God… Continue reading Celebrating Us!
