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…

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.

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!

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…

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,…
