Thankful Thursdays

Posted on May 8, 2025May 8, 2025 by Connie Perez

This week’s Thankful Thursday comes to you from a little closer to the pine trees and a little farther from the Wi-Fi signal. Yep, we’re on “walkabout” again, out in the wide-open spaces of Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho, where the air is fresh, the stars are brighter, and it feels like…well, like time finally slows…

Thankful Thursdays

Posted on May 1, 2025May 1, 2025 by Connie Perez

Sometimes it’s nice to hear what other people are feeling grateful for. It connects us on so many levels. So I thought a great way to start off May would be to ask a few friends and family what they’re thankful for lately. Here’s what they shared: -“One thing I am beyond thankful for: my…

Posted on April 24, 2025 by Connie Perez

I wanted to share this little piece I came across. It’s one of those things that makes you go “hmm…”  It compares life to a train ride, and honestly, it made me think about who’s been part of my journey, who still is, and how I want to spend the time I have. It’s called…

Posted on April 17, 2025 by Connie Perez

Ah, life!  It’s one big adventure, full of twists, turns, and roadblocks—kind of like one of our challenging hikes. Ha! But honestly, there have been times on this journey when I’ve felt like I’m stuck on a steep climb, wishing for an opportunity that seems beyond my reach. But then, out of nowhere, just when…

Thankful Thursdays

Posted on April 10, 2025 by Connie Perez

I don’t think I’ll ever fully understand God’s plan. At least not while I’m mortal. It’s kind of like trying to assemble IKEA furniture without the instructions—confusing, frustrating, and at times, overwhelming. There’s so much suffering and so many good people who don’t deserve it, and no clear answers. It messes with your faith, you…

Thankful Thursdays

Posted on April 3, 2025April 3, 2025 by Connie Perez

Every time I glance at a photo of my parents, I see the word “sacrifice” written all over it. And I wonder, how can sacrifice look so happy? There was a time when my husband and I thought “sacrifice” was a scary, bad word. We watched our parents give up so much for us, and…

Posted on March 20, 2025 by Connie Perez

Happy Spring! And now, a word about work, health, and that elusive balance we’re all chasing. Some days, I find myself rushing through my workday to wrap it up and get out the door. The gazillion emails, deadlines, and tasks that seem to multiply every time I check one off can all get pretty overwhelming….

“Here’s to strong women: May we know them, may we be them, may we raise them.” With Women’s History Month in full swing, it’s the perfect time to celebrate the incredible women in my life—those who stand beside me and those who live on in my heart, guiding me with the wisdom they left behind….

Thankful Thursdays

Posted on March 6, 2025 by Connie Perez

Yesterday was Ash Wednesday, kicking off Lent for many Christians. It’s a time to slow down, reflect, and focus on growth as we get ready for Easter. Getting ashes on my forehead always reminds me that we’re just passing through. The phrase “Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return” might sound…
