So I started focusing on releasing. Detaching and going with the flow. So my personal relationships might not be where I want them to be. But I still loved my family and wanted nothing more than to feel close to them again. So why not just start there? I started praying and meditating on detachment. […]
“Who Am I?” – Part 2
Continuing where I left off… So what does this non-confrontational girl do when her life shatters around her and she’s too scared to pick up the pieces? She runs away. The Indiana girl who swore she’d never live farther than a couple hours away from her family packs up what’s left of her life and […]
“Who Am I?” – Part 1
This is something I’ve been working on in my journal the past couple of days. It’s not quite done and already really long, so I’ve decided to post it in chunks. I’ll post more tomorrow. Until then, part one: So I’m at The Spa at the Grove Park Inn enjoying a luxurious day of mineral […]
One year in Asheville…
So I know I’ve been totally absent on the blog here lately, and when this happens, I always feel like I need to give some ginormous update post to fill everyone in on the happenings of my life. But that just sounds exhausting right now. So I’m going to pretend that my last post was […]
Loving Life
I haven’t updated for a while, and I feel it’s time for one of those long, detailed “get caught up on life” posts. But I’m just gonna keep it short a simple. Life is great. Wonderful in fact. I’ve never been so happy and in love with everything around me. My husband. My boys. My […]
Welcome, Sweet Violet!
#1 in the Year of Babies for 2013 is miss Violet Elizabeth, born to my bestie, Brooke, and her hubs, Troy, on Thursday, May 30!! Brooke and I have known each other since 5th grade – two years shy of 20 years (crazy! Are we really that old??!). Sometimes we were best friends, sometimes we […]
“Surrounded by Pregnant Women” – Intuition Comes True
Intuition. It’s a natural ability we all have. It’s what we used to call your “conscience”, that voice inside your head that tells you what to do and what not to do. I guess you could say I’ve always had a healthy intuition. Following my hunches normally brings me success. It’s only within the last […]
Do what makes you happy.
A couple of weeks ago at the Center for Spiritual Living Asheville (where my husband and I have been attending for a few months), the minister spoke about Eben Alexander’s book Proof of Heaven. It is the world-class neurosurgeon’s story of his out-of-body experience while in a coma and brain dead due to some sort of […]
Being Happy is Most Important
I’ve been thinking a lot about happiness lately. What does it mean to truly be happy? What/Who defines happiness? I’ve come to the conclusion happiness isn’t something that just happens to you. It’s something you choose. The scripture that went along with my Daily Word reading this morning was Ecclesiastes 3:12: “I know that there […]
“A Jealousy That Makes My Heart Happy”
I know I’ve been a little absent on the blog here lately, but I’m still staying busy and writing my soul. I’ve been going through a lot of old writings – journals, Word docs, cards, song books, etc. – searching for bits of truth and insight that I can share. Let me tell ya, I […]
