    • Once In A Rare Blue Moon

      Here in the US, we are having not only a “blue moon” (a full moon that has happened twice in the same calendar month), but it also happens to be a super moon. Which basically means it wears tights and a cape and saves people when no one is watching it. “Moony” never wants to…

    • It’s a “Yes-And” Life for Us!

      It’s been another long month. In this case, it was simply because I was busy from start to finish. To be fair, most of my summers are busier than the rest of the year. Something about June to August, they just happen to be the busiest months… Yesterday was my first anniversary of living without…

    • One Year Ago…

      Of all the things I thought I’d be doing in a year’s time from this time last year… blogging wasn’t one of those things. It’s not that I didn’t like blogging; ever since I was about 16, I’ve had different blogs on different sites. With the introduction of social media in my life, blogging seemed…

    • More Thoughts On A Tuesday

      When I went to bed last night, I had no intention of writing another post that would put two of them on the same date, but here we are. I have three friends who all have published works:L. Beth Campbell…Heather O’Brien…and of course, my friend Rachel Newhouse that I talk about almost every blog post…

    • Emotional Support Friend

      As you can see from the above picture and caption, I just finished downsizing and rearranging my bedroom tonight! I gotta be honest, I really thought I would be able to get away with not moving my desk, but I realized… if the reason I’m doing all of this is to be obedient, then I…

    • The Trouble With Journaling

      A lot of things have happened over the last week to cause me to feel like “now is a good time to write.” And then I came home from my Chicago trip and it felt like the world was falling down around me. I’d like to say I’m okay with a certain amount of stress,…

    • Enjoy The Queue

      This weekend my friend Rachel and I are in Chicago at FanExpo selling (or trying to sell) her books. The fun thing about this particular “company” of conventions is that if you are an “Exhibitor” you get a free pass to anywhere in the building, basically. Erica has taken full advantage of that feeling of…

    • “Look at the hose, Erica”

      Today I woke up with a plan. And immediately that plan was changed. For me, that’s not a huge deal. My life isn’t thrown into a tailspin every time something changes. If it was, I wouldn’t be a house cleaner. Nothing stays the same for longer than 3 minutes. The original plan for today was…

    • Update On “The Purge”…

      *note: I will be saying “we” when talking about things the Lord is having me do because He has been using it when talking to me about what I need to do… it’s just the language and not so much that He is doing any of the physical stuff except directing me on what to…

    • To Obey Is Better Than Keeping Stuff

      There I was, minding my own business and cleaning my regular Monday client’s house while listening to a podcast, when all of a sudden I feel the distinct voice of the Lord: “I want you to purge your bedroom.” I had to stop everything for a minute because I was so taken aback by that…
