I can't see the future, but I can see the past and looking at the past, I know in even the darkest of days bright days came after.

Both of my kids are finishing up college courses over the next few days. Why do I feel drained too? LOL I do tutor one and edit for another, but I feel like I've worked a full semester myself. I have not. I just feel that way. Cheers to winter break!

Our local weather people know how to suck the fun out of the weekend. Just kidding, not their fault. Big wet system coming with lots of flooding next week. In other words, a good Pacific Northwest December. Here we go.

I don't understand those who wait until the 24th to buy their gifts. It's only the 3rd and I'm already panicking. 🤣

I was going to eat a light salad with turkey for dinner tonight since the last few meals have been very calorie heavy, but my lettuce turned, so pie it was. I'm not mad. 🤣

Sunday after hosting two Thanksgiving dinners has me eating nothing but pie and watching movies today. I'm all turkeyed out.

I might be in the middle of all that is required to host two large meals this week, but it's all good because Caden comes home from college tomorrow! I haven't seen my oldest since September. I'm excited!

Isn't it interesting when someone gets away with something and instead of choosing to take their win and live their life, it often emboldens them to jump right back in?

Maybe your life's purpose is just to be authentically you. I mean, no one else here on Earth is fully equipped to be that person but you.

I am always amazed at the book people offering to "help" me, saying how great I am, love my stories, but use my landline and personal email to contact me. Yeah, I get it, you can find that stuff, okay, but, if you'd done any homework on me, you'd have my preferred email and cell number for this.

I have gen z kids. I've learned when they say this ___ is fire, that means it's really good or awesome. Today I learned if they say I had fire poop, that does not mean good or awesome. It does mean what we'd think it means. Alrighty then.

I was blessed to find the missing grandfather for a client. This was a situation where the grandpa that they grew up with wasn't their bio grandpa. A DNA test and digging helped find the bio person. I have the greatest joy in bringing this info to clients. Give me a shout if you want some help.

I used to enjoy oranges. I'd eat them the normal way, one segment at a time. Now I'm the crazy lady who's shoving an entire half an orange in my mouth at once to eat it as fast as I can so my dog will stop pawing at me. You ever open a bag of chips silently? Impossible, yet I continue to try.

Remember to be gentle with yourself in the coming weeks. The holidays can be stressful for many on their own and now we must be cheery and do all the things while we work to process the information overload that we are now force fed daily.

The reflection in a puddle is often a distorted image of the original. When we reflect back to our previous self we view it in the same way as the puddle, not a mirror. Be gentle with yourself. The mind often distorts the memory.

Sitting at the precipice of a stormy weekend draws all the cozy and comfort seeking feelings to the surface. It feels like a pause, a timely stormy pattern to quiet the human chaos and let nature's energy recharge my soul.

We are more powerful than we often realize. Things can happen all around us, but it is ourselves who decide if those vibrations get to hum within. Every choice we make, action we take, and word we speak, write, or read either continues the chaos or breaks free from it.

Where do you go when your soul needs peace? I turn to my yard. From dirt to a wildlife haven, this is what ten years of hard work looks like. I find courage in knowing that other sorts of very hard things could become a thing of beauty if we all work hard enough for it.

Sometimes you are just going through your day like normal and something announces that just knocks you sideways and leaves you seriously considering the possibility that we did change timelines. I'm so confused and yet very clear at the same time.
