Is Now The Time?
Last weekend at the women’s conference in Colorado, the theme for the weekend was “Now Is Your Time.” Unbeknownst to me, it was exactly what I needed to hear. Also unbeknownst to me, it wasn’t in regard to what I thought it was about. I didn’t find that out until tonight. Remember how I mentioned…

Quiet Mountains
It wasn’t until this past weekend, when I was in the mountains for the first time as an adult, that I realized I’m not so much shocked by the majesty of the mountains, but the quiet of them. Sound seems to carry differently in and around the mountains, as if it swallows up the unnecessary…

Bringing Joy (Or, How To Survive At A Higher Altitude)
This weekend I’m in Woodland Park, Colorado, at a women’s conference. Today is the last day, but now that I’m mostly over the altitude sickness, I decided to get a coffee at the beginning of the day. And then I wasn’t allowed in the auditorium because the cup doesn’t have a spill-proof lid. Whoops. So…

Expectations Met
After what seemed like the longest summer ever, I only have two more trips planned– that are NOT working trips!– and then I will be in Kansas City from the beginning of November until the end of January at the very least. I gotta be honest… I love traveling, but I am 100% traveled out.…

The Travel Diaries
What this post was going to be and what it has become are two very different things, but I know now all the procrastinating was for a reason. The above pictures are from my annual trip to South Bend, Indiana, with my best friends… what this post is now going to be about is none…

Daily Prompt: What Are You Doing Tonight?

I don’t do the daily prompts much since Bloganuary ended (in January), but I’ve been feeling like I needed to write since Monday evening and nothing exciting has happened since then. I haven’t even had a “brain blast” about anything in my life. So to answer today’s question…I’m packing…

Sitting, Wishing, Waiting
It’s amazing what happens when I don’t blog for almost a whole week. It’s like a whole week of life happens. Last weekend, my friend Rachel sold her books at SantaCaliGon Days in Independence, Missouri, and I volunteered to be the main helper. It was one of the worst weekends to sell books weather-wise, but…

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…
