I read an article about author, Colleen Hoover, last week after months of curiosity about her books. They’ve popped up in my Kindle recommended reads but I’ve frequently opted for the free reads with my Kindle Unlimited subscription since I have limited time for reading. I hated the, albeit misguided, thought that I would waste …
The 27 1/2 Pound Cat
I've got to tell you about my Mama's cat. This is the cat that almost ruined Christmas last year and the cat that just showed up in her yard a few years ago out of nowhere. He was a very, very healthy cat when he arrived as an antisocial yard cat. His head was very …
Digging in the Dirt
My flower bed was looking a little worse for wear today. The summer heat was not kind to the snapdragons and the petunias. The only thing left of the petunias were some really brown and crispy sticks. The snapdragons were barely hanging on and some were screaming to be put to rest. With my manicured …
Eating the Paper Towel
I have not felt the best over the last two days. It's not the 'vid. It's apparently a sinus infection and it has really kicked my butt. Yesterday, I was congested and felt like I couldn't keep my eyes open. Then, my face and forehead started burning like it was on fire. I haven't felt …
Alabama Yard Sales
Have you ever been to a post-Pandemic Alabama yard sale? If not, you are truly missing out. It’s like going on a post-apocalyptic tour of a redneck landfill but with price tags. I have never seen so many dusty, smut covered dishes from 1970 in all my life. If you’re in the market for some …
In the Waiting
It’s hard to wait for anything, whether it is a light to change green or life circumstances to change. I’m probably the world’s least patient person. When I was in high school, I couldn’t wait to go to college where I wouldn’t have to take so many math classes. I don’t know if I really …
Tender Heart
I have always been a very sensitive person. I don’t know how I got to be this way and I honestly wish sometimes I wasn’t. I can remember hearing a song on the radio or a song in church and the tears would just flow. It’s always been like I feel things more than most …
California
For the bulk of the last 10+ years, I have not traveled extensively far away from the Southeast. I’ve limited my journeys to Alabama, Florida, Tennessee, North Carolina, and South Carolina. I’ve not really had the desire to travel much outside of this comfort zone. I love sweet tea. I mean really LOVE sweet tea …
Tripping Over My Own Two Feet
If you’ve ever tripped on your own two feet, you sometimes just can’t help but blame yourself for being so clumsy. I haven’t fallen on this trip, at least not yet thankfully. But the feeling of tripping over my own feet reminds me of how I have been holding my own self back. For years, …
Lord Have Mercy, I Think I’ve Lost My Spark
The last speaker of today’s part of the conference was a motivational speaker. He talked about how the pandemic had increased our fear and anxiety levels. He also talked about how we have to courageously move forward with a positive mindset and passion. Ooooh, that hit home for me. I taught a leadership class several …
