• A Happy, Crappy Christmas

  I spent all weekend and the better part of today specifically trying to decide if I needed to write this blog, but I process grief through words. Not only verbally, but also on paper/screen. So… here we go. This Christmas was… different than others. My bestest friend (with the little dog on her lap in…

• Holiday Blues

  I snapped the above picture after I looked over and realized how much my brother looks and acts like our father. That’s not to say my brother never reminds me of Papa (what we called our dad), but something about this moment made me feel closer to my dad than I’ve had the ability to…

• Thoughts From This Week

  After posting my last blog post earlier this week, I thought about the fact that many of my posts have talked more about my grieving process over losing social media or my grieving process over other things or just grieving in general. That wasn’t why I started this blog, I promise. I had expected things…

• Novel-writing Winner

  As you can see from the above picture, I made it to 50,000 words in one consistent story since the very first time I actually officially started NaNoWriMo back in 2017. The title is a working title, so don’t read too much into that, but I may or may not be seriously considering next steps…

• Onward and Upward

  I had an eventful weekend in just about all the ways. It was busy with dog-sitting a “new” dog, seeing The Chosen in theaters, helping my mom put together a new kitchen table (NOT the one in the above picture), and having a birthday party for my sister-in-law. I also had an eventful weekend in…

• Old And New

  So I guess there’s new social media out there. Big surprise with the way the world moves anymore. I move at a significantly slower pace and have no idea how I’m managing… the Lord is the answer I suppose. Also my mom reminding me that the outside world exists. My “political” podcasts are a lot…

• Election Time Update

  I could be writing for NaNoWriMo and had every intention of doing so, but chose instead to go on the hunt for some audiobooks I’ve listened to in the past to determine if my mom’s husband would enjoy any that he hasn’t already consumed in physical form. So instead I settled on a quick blog…

• Writing Is Hard

  I was going to wait until tomorrow to write this, but just remembered I’m having a write-in with friends for National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo for short) and would rather write my blogs in the privacy of my own bedroom. Not that I don’t publish them for people to see, but I prefer people to…

• Confirmations and Convictions, Pt. 2

  This is just a short update to yesterday’s blog about the fact that I did “the thing” and because I did the thing, the Lord was gracious and made the whole situation much easier and a non-issue. Because it wasn’t about the issue or the “thing”, it was about my obedience to the Holy Spirit.…

• Just Keep Driving

  As is usually the case at the very beginning of the month, I was busy every day of the week last week and didn’t remember I was supposed to post something until last night (Sunday)… and that’s a full 24 hours after the time I want to post. Of course, going on a trip, coming…
