…here! I’m normally at least a day or too late at checking out this site. Jen Gray is a great photographer and often has some really beautiful posts that speak to the soul.  Today was no exception!

I got up barely in enough time to get ready for church this morning…and then suddenly it was 9am which is when church starts and I wasn’t even out the door. The upside was that I am up, dressed and have some time to do something… I do want to catch up on facebook and [...]

It’s the new year – for some reason it’s seen as the momentous time when we look back at the 365 days past and review and look forward to the next 365 – and so the 1st day in January becomes loaded with meaning, sometimes regrets and a whole bunch of expectations for what the [...]

Healthcare reform is a hot topic here right now. To be honest I’ve not had the inclination to really follow all the ins and outs of what people are suggesting here – so much of the talk seems crazy! It boggles my mind that some people think that nothing needs to be changed here…apparently around [...]

I’m not a morning person. I do like being up, but I’m a groggy mess for the first hour or so! It’s one of the few times I get in the day to just be…I know, I know, there’d be more in the day if I carved out the time! There’s less cluttering the day [...]

So, I started a post on Sunday, left it half done to do something, forgot about it, and lost a good chunk of writing. This week has been tough – in fact the past month has been tough with some difficult things happening at work along with having various staff off who I’ve had to [...]

Indeed, indeed – hooray for the weekend!  This week feels like one of the longest there’s been in a long while!  With students in on Monday, Thursday and Friday this week I’ve hardly spent any time at my desk and rarely been able to leave work before 6pm…tonight I left “early” at 5.30pm!  But the [...]

I survived. I went on the Women’s Retreat this weekend for the church I have been attending for all of, about 2 months!  I went on my own, was paired up with a random roommate and knew one person who was coming late. I was scared.  Aptly the theme of the weekend was “do not [...]
