Not so ahhhh

So we are 22 days into 2012.  I’ve been trying to focus on my word restore and to try to make my life changes. I can truly say I have not done anything restorative in these 22 days.  Some friends have relaxed-spa, nails done etc. Not really my thing.  I’ve been to church all Sunday’s [...]

Walking in the door

Today was a breathing day.  I feel like I restored my soul.  Anytime I go to Sunday School, it’s like another world.  I feel peace, I feel joy, I feel like I belong.  It is one of the few times during the week that this happens.  Then I went to church and took communion.  I [...]

Why I need Fall

Truth be told

I suck at will power.  Can I make that confession?  Do people admit to that?  My life is crazy semi-messy because I can’t say no and I make poor choices. Last night I couldn’t sleep so I woke up and watched Hopkins 24/7 on OWN.  Thank you Oprah, by the way for my real life [...]

Life Clarity

So this is my last post on contentment for April and my focus on my life. I think this is one of the best months so far for me, because I really was able to take a step back and assess myself. There were many changes this month in my close family and friends lives [...]
