Early this morning, an angel was formed. Our beloved cat, Her Royal Highness the Princess Twixx Buttercup, crossed the rainbow bridge into the unknown. Affectionately known as Mama Cat, Her Royal Pain in the Butt-ness, Twixxiekins, Princesa, Chunker-butt, Nurse Twixxie and a plethora of other random names, Twixx came into our lives in the summer […]

Beautiful messes
Many of us have been called labels instead of names. Self-centered. Narcissist. Radical. Socialist. Sinner. Dumb ass. Stupid. Selfish. Crazy. We carry these labels, shouldering them alongside the weight of all that we are, all that we need to do, all that we have to be. Sometimes, we carry so much weight and have so […]
Striving for the perfect????
Soulmates. Everyone searches for one at some point in their lives. They cast their nets amongst the sea, hoping to catch the one “fish” they are destined for. But then they question every date – is this one right for me? Is this one I can see myself spending a life with? Is this one […]
Where should we begin?
It’s been a rough week, so apologies for being a bit absent. Weather woes, moving woes and full time job woes have really been taking a toll on my mental health this week. It’s overwhelming at best, leaving me little time to recharge. I should tell you a story. But where should I begin? As I already have […]
Willpower, temperance, self-control… and gratitude?
There was a buzz in the air at the little church in my tiny swath of the Midwest this past Sunday. Between the poor squirrel who had given its life to knock out the power earlier in the morning, the forgetfulness of the worship leader to have what was prepared for speaking brought to church, […]
NaNoWriMo 2023
If you follow me over on any of my social medias (i.e. Instagram, Facebook, and Threads), you’d know I am participating in NaNoWriMo again this month. For those of you who DON’T know what NaNoWriMo is, there is a wonderful and informative podcast on the subject if you click here. Full disclaimer though – the […]
It’s Not Fair
It’s a phrase we all say. IT’S NOT FAIR! As children, we yell it when we perceive a sibling or classmate is receiving something better than we were given by an adult. It’s not fair we have to do the dishes tonight. It’s not fair that they got the purple marker. It’s not fair that […]
The End
Some in the writing world are already aware of this about me, but not everyone is. Often, I write the ending of my books before I write much of the beginning. Sometimes, I do write other parts first. But more often than not, I have the ending finished before I have most of the book […]
You Matter
It’s just a small tag, the size of a business card with laminate that reaches out a fraction of an inch. But it’s a special tag as well. At the beginning of every school year, the tiny church I belong in this swath of the Midwest gives out the tags to students and anyone else […]
The Unexpected
I’m dealing with a great deal of a mental load right now. As you may already have learned, if you read my last blog post, Margo Murillo, one of my dearest and oldest friends in this little swath of the Midwest died unexpectedly this past Friday. I am still doing a great deal of processing […]
