[There's a time for everything] Ever been somewhere you never wanted to be? (I mean this metaphorically.) Here's a great reason not to judge anyone: one day you may very well end up in their shoes, or rather, similar looking shoes anyways. Ever hit a wall? (Yep, more metaphor.) That's how I felt recently. I … Continue reading A Loving Kick in the Pants
Wonderfully Wounded
[Faithful are the wounds of a friend] One of the more difficult things to do is correct someone. I’ve struggled with this one over the years because I hate to wound anyone. Unfortunately, I’ve also learned, through experience, that not saying what I should say is no help at all. Because I’m very protective of … Continue reading Wonderfully Wounded

He’s the … Continue reading Trek On
Awake
[Wake up, sleeper] Every night before bed--before I even close my eyes--I dawn my sleep mask. Embroidered on it's black satin fabric, in shiny silver thread reads: 'Sleeping Beauty.' Being a huge Disney fan, I was immediately drawn to this one over all the other slogans to choose from. I haven't always used a sleep … Continue reading Awake
