Just the Beginning
Sunday Reflections I write about Three Freedoms but it’s just the beginning to a bigger idea. They are just the foundation and so is creative freedom. Once we as writers lay down the foundation of our three freedoms and begin trust the floor boards that are creative freedom, it gives us access to so muchContinue reading “Just the Beginning”
Mom’s Presence
On sick days I appreciate watching movies with my mama. Something about having my mama there enjoying a good murder mystery that makes me feel better. There’s a million reasons why I love my mama but something about having her around when I’m feeling under the weather makes it a little bit easier for me.

Last post I wrote about turning over a new leaf. I chose a fern as the leaf for the featured image. Here’s some cool info about the symbolism of ferns. Fiddleheads and ferns first show up in fossil records from a time over 100 million years BEFORE dinosaurs walked the Earth. In fact, ferns grew before floweringContinue reading “Fern Symbolism”

I want to have these experiences forever but if there’s a limit to all this happiness I’m taking in as much as I can now. We’re napping, playing board games, eating healthy and not healthy, we’re goingContinue reading “Summer Challenge”

Then made cupcakes with my youngest. Once I finished washing the last load ofContinue reading “Sunday Reflections”
Your Voice Matters
Choosing with integrity means finding ways to speak up that honor your reality, the reality of others, and your willingness to meet in the center of that large field. It’s hard sometimes. – Terry Tempest Williams I looked into some of Terry Tempest’s books. They look interesting but I haven’t read any yet. This quote doesContinue reading “Your Voice Matters”
