STORIES AND REFLECTIONS
Remember those “Corona house arrest” days when we were all searching for projects to stay sane? Danny and I spent part of that time digging through old VHS tapes and mini cassettes to digitize them. Before long, we were laughing, crying, and reliving birthdays, vacations, holidays, and everyday moments we hadn’t seen in decades. It…
This feels a little too relatable, so I had to share. 😅 “A PRAYER FOR THE DAYDear God, so far today, I’ve done all right. I haven’t gossiped, and I haven’t lost my temper. I haven’t been grumpy, nasty, or selfish, and I’m really glad of that! But in a few minutes, God, I’m going…
Yesterday I teleported to work. It was a thing of beauty. Wishful thinking. No pero really, every light was green, every road was open, the drawbridge was down, no slow crawl up the parking garage ramp, and both elevators opened right when I pressed the button. It felt like the universe was clearing a path…
A little humor and much-needed reality check for today… How enlightened are we, really? 😬 IF…. If you can live without caffeine (what??),If you can be cheerful while your body sounds like a bowl of Rice Krispies,If you can resist complaining, even when your WiFi is acting like it’s on vacation,If you can understand when…
You know, right after I hit that “post” button two weeks ago, I felt a little unsettled. I immediately thought about those facing harder struggles, and I was like hmm…this post is gonna need a follow-up. I just wouldn’t want you thinking I live in la la land or that everything can be explained with…
Howdy y’all! 🤠 Coming at you from the Lone Star State, where we’re spending the week with Danny and Ashley. And that’s today’s Thankful Thursday. Short and sweet and full of gratitude. 🙏 What are you thankful for today? Until next Thursday’s post, y’all…si Dios quiere. “There is no greater wealth in this world than…
Ever had one of those weeks that’s just plain frustrating? Don’t let it get you down. I’ve run out of coffee too. 😅 No, but seriously, it’s best to remember that just because things aren’t going as planned doesn’t mean they aren’t working out how they should. Sometimes the challenges, delays, and changes end up…
Just like that, we’re stepping into this holy weekend. And I find myself asking, did I make any changes that will last beyond Easter? I think so. I hope so. Still a work in progress, no doubt. Today is Holy Thursday. A day that reminds us of humility, love, and service to others. All of…
This Thankful Thursday comes with a love story a century in the making. I’ve had two really special postcards sitting in my drawer for a while now, one from my grandfather to my grandmother, and one from her to him. It hit me the other day that their messages are over 100 years old, and…
The other day, Lauren and I were looking back on the past few years, and we found ourselves amazed at what has transpired. It gave a whole new meaning to the familiar question: “Where do you see yourself in five years?” Looking back, I can tell you that what actually happened was mostly not on…
