I love to pray. I love when people reach out for prayer and I can intercede on their behalf. I don’t take prayer lightly. When I say I will pray for someone, I pray. I stand in the gap for them. A friend recently asked me what I meant by “stand in the gap.” She…

Grief Revisited…

It takes only a song, a smell, a memory shared on FB, a sound, a picture, a date on the calendar… and the grief comes flooding back. Fresh as the day it began. Today was just that… a date on the calendar. Four months to the day. A time on the clock. It happened right…

Sacred Indulgence…

Abide With Me…
Some days I’m footloose and fancy free! I glide through the days without a worry or a care. Everything seems right with the world. Some days I wake with a heavy heart. Full of worry. Full of fear. Wondering what is next. Anxious. I’ve learned that no matter the state of my heart, I need…

As I continue down this path to better health, I’m learning more and more about myself each day. Today I ventured out on another walk by myself. I’m rather enjoying these solo treks as they give me time to breathe, process, let go, pray and just BE. I decided to head to the high school…

If I want to be healthier, thinner, in better shape… I must work at it! I’ve struggled with my weight since the womb! I was born fat! With this gift has come 51…
