Ever want to skip to the end? It’s tempting to want to bypass the process and cross the finish line. There is great purpose in the process, though. When we’re amid undesirable circumstances, we may anticipate jumping to the end. But we all know many things are out of our control, and it’s not quite […]
How about we take the scenic route today? While I can tend to resist change, change can also be refreshing to my daily rhythms of life. Sometimes, a change of scenery can be the one thing to get us back into the right rhythm. There are those days we need to see beyond the normal […]
My best days are the ones that flow with a rhythm of stillness and ease. These are the most welcoming days. So, what about the days filled with agendas and non-stop going? I had one of those days recently, crammed with something that seemed to fill almost every hour. That’s when we choose to look […]
It’s coming! I can always feel the hopeful anticipation as spring sneaks in with a few early surprises before its official arrival. Birds are chirping even before sunrise.

Do you wear a fitness watch to count your steps? Sometimes I do, but I don’t wear it most days because I find it to be more of a distraction. Once I’ve reached my goal in steps, mine will light up with fireworks to celebrate that I have achieved my goal for the day. While […]
Simple joys are something I like to revisit more than once here on this blog. It’s an invitation to pause from life, even if it’s just for a minute or two. I imagine giving yourself a minute or two will make room for even more time to enjoy what brings you joy during the ordinary […]
In college, I observed a court case for one of my classes. The defendant approached the bench and said, “I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.” Sometimes the truth can be challenging, but honesty always brings light. I don’t ever want to be on a witness stand myself, […]
