A wise friend told me the truth yesterday. She said I might have to just wait. Then she told me that “waiting” is a verb. I asked God to show me what He means by waiting. Actually, I asked Google to show me what God says about waiting. Google and God gave me this. I

Nothing is Wasted
Nothing is wasted, she said. I just looked at her like she was crazy since it seemed so disjointed, this life of mine. Classes and books and studying…for what? I think sometimes. The yoga and the workshops and the working out. The running and the striving and the working to be all things. I see

The Year of YES
Happy New Year! The last few days I’ve been reading all the posts about what YOU NEED TO DO TO BE HAPPY and SKINNY and IN LOVE and FULFILLED and MORE ORGANIZED and BLAH BLAH BLAH. I’ll be up front with you. I’m not that kind of girl. I won’t be telling you how

Not a New Year’s Resolution
I love clean slates and empty pages and new journals and blank spaces. I like tidy houses and clutter free zones and organized pantries and closets with order. I love these things but the truth is, I don’t have these things in my life. Oh sure, I get the brand new journal but I can’t wait…I have

Those Little Reminders
These little reminders are on my kitchen windowsill. You know how you look at some things all the time and then you become blind to them? I saw them with new eyes the other day. I was thinking…hmmm…Proverbs and Dr. Suess…how do they go together? But then I realized they do! I think God’s

I Have No Gifts to Bring
What do you think they said when they saw the star pointing the way to Jesus? What do we say? We say, “Who me? I am not ready! I have nothing to wear/bring/show!” Jesus came as a newborn baby…the most vulnerable among us…small, humble. He is saying to us, “Come as you are, don’t fuss,
