Relying on God for Directions
As we are heading into to summer and trying to figure out the best way to spend it, one of the activities I’ve suggested is painting. I had vaguely remembered my friend saying she had canvas and paint at home and she found it relaxing. What? People actually paint outside of ‘sip and paint parties’? […]
Nothing lasts forever…
A little over a year ago I developed anxiety while driving. It was a difficult season, as I am used to being able to get up and go anywhere I wish, whenever I want. Even while going through it, I forced myself to get up and get in the car, even if it meant circling […]
Single Parenting in the Pandemic
I’m taking a bit of a departure of what I usually share on faith. This one is about my experience as a single mom during the pandemic. I have a moment to breathe as my daughter is in the next room on a google meet. She has them 3 days for about an hour each […]

How do you stay in touch?
I sent a text to my friend one day this week. While we ‘see’ each other on Facebook frequently, we hadn’t spoken in a while. Instead of texting me back, she FaceTimed me. I thought it was just the sweetest gesture. She had been in the midst of her day, but she detected the tone […]

As my daughter and I have more time and the weather is warming up, we’re attempting to do more outdoor activities.She likes to ride, and I walk. Or, she’ll try to roller skate, while she holds on to my hand for dear life because she has a fear of falling. But this week she asked […]
Social distancing vs isolation
As my daughter and I are now spending 24 hours a day together, we have more time, but we’ve also had to get creative with how to spend the time.One of the things she’s requested is that after we are done for the day, but before bed time – we watch a movie. She gets […]
