A Sabbath Trip
Today is day 3 of a 5-day trip I felt the Lord lead me to plan for my two best friends and me. I think I had originally called it our “besties trip”, and it is… but I’m realizing it’s more than that. It’s a Sabbath trip. Aside from the initial planning on all our…

A Facilitator
The Lord has been teaching me a lot about myself in the past few weeks, and the biggest lesson I’m learning is that I have an overall calling and what I’ll call a “seasonal” calling. It wasn’t until last Saturday (before the apocalypse– I mean, the eclipse) that I realized my “seasonal” calling is simply…

Be Careful…
I might be lying if I said I never post in an emotional state, but this one feels like a “breach of protocol” in a way because my ire isn’t specifically directed at myself. Someone else is involved in the emotions. So I will try not to lay blame or do anything like name-call (though…

A Snow Day!
Today I woke up to a snow day. As a self-employed person, I have the luxury of taking the day off when the sky decides to dump 6 inches of snow. Thankfully I had cleared the schedule when they began threatening the amount of snow we were supposed to get. I’m really glad I did,…

Endings Bring New Beginnings
This weekend I am on the last Christmas/New Year’s, help-people-with-their-dogs adventure for at least two weeks. I promise I really did quit dog-sitting as a business. Last year Erica would wonder how much “quitting” was actually had… Speaking of Last Year Erica… I was thinking about a year ago today. I remember how tired and…
