  • The 1888 Journal: Mysteries & Entries part 1

    Awhile back I came across this pocket-sized journal at an antique store in Nashville, dated 1888. HAD to have it! It inspired the post The Journal and the Journey: The One Who Knows the Way, but it hasn’t stopped inspiring or intriguing me.  I’ve kept the little book on my…

    I grew up in church. Every Sunday and Wednesday. Summer programs too. And I’m grateful for my upbringing and foundations of faith. Now, I wasn’t the most quiet child during church service. Dad pecked my head a time or two–kept me in line. Kept me from squirming, doodling on the…

It’s deeper than physical desire, and aligns itself more along the lines of a fierce loyalty, connection, a one-ness. I’d argue as…

  • Military Family Appreciation Month! And Give-Away!

    True story: A sour faced woman once told me that military wives, and families, should never complain about the ‘military life’ because they knew what they were getting themselves into. I’m pretty sure I heard everyone reading this say ‘Oh no she didn’t,’ while waiving a hand in the air,…
