I got home from work on Thursday and desperately needed time to clear my head and unplug from the world. Working a 9-5 (really, a 7:30-4:30) day-in and day-out starts to ware down my spirit and throw my mind into a pattern of robotic automatic configuration. My weekends are completely booked until October 1; I… Continue reading to the woods we go
According to my iPhone. Life these days is good. So, so good. l lid </a
After a long day at work, a solid hour in the gym, a dull bus ride home, dinner and dishes complete, my favorite part of the day begins. The last few weeks have been filled with many evenings sitting in front of the fire place, drink tea-peppermint for me, please. sleepy-time for him, thanks-and good… Continue reading dreaming on
It’s always weird having my daily routine switched up when my husband’s away on business. I still get up at 4:30 but, like this morning, I workout at home and drinks lots and lots of coffee while I get ready for work. I blast Hillsong. I get on the bus earlier than normal and work… Continue reading Lamentations and coffee
My husband and I were on a walk last night as the sun was starting to hide behind the graying tree line that stood above a glistening pond. The pond was glowing with all the painted colors of the sunset: burnt orange, dark red, sunshine yellow, and bubblegum pink. The sun was still warming the… Continue reading Times like these…
September is my month. I really believe this. I love everything about it and more and literally want to cry when I think of it coming to an end. But, I’m going to soak it in and live every day, in the moment, in the ‘now’. This next week I will be: //exploring the deep… Continue reading September is my month.
Well, my hubby and I are packed, once again, and standing here with our boarding passes in-hand. Ready to go, again. We both love early morning coffee, people watching in airports, landing hundreds of miles from home, exploring, adventures, and just being together experiencing new places. We were made to be travel buddies for life.… Continue reading //see ya later, Minnesota autumn//
“Coffee with a dash of cinnamon, please.” Never would I have thought those words would come from my mouth. I’m a coffee snob, but I have always enjoyed my coffee with cream. Now, I love my autumn morning mug: black coffee with a dash of spice. I’m loving the transformation that’s taking place in my… Continue reading “Coffee with a dash of cinnamon, please.”
My heart is so happy these days! This season of blessings, change, renewal, life, and joy. Learning more about myself, learning about relationship with others, learning it’s all about our hearts: The older you get, the more you realize that it isn’t about the material things, or pride or ego. It’s about our hearts and… Continue reading //it’s all about our hearts//
I can’t believe autumn is finally here. I hold my breathe each summer in anticipation for this time of year; awaiting the crisp air to settle in, the first afternoon I get to wear my brown boots, the first morning I get to throw on wool socks to slide across my wood floor to make… Continue reading Autumn happenings.
Oh Thursday. I have to keep telling myself to plug away, focus, and stay strong for one more day. Tomorrow is Friday which, for me, means a week and a half off work. Northern MN for a little cabin/lake time with my hubby and his family, Minnesota State Fair, Journey concert for our one-year anniversary,… Continue reading My heart of adventure
A great devotional this morning from Jesus Calling. “I am a God who heals. I heal broken bodies, broken minds, broken hearts, broken lives, and broken relationships. My very Presence has immense healing powers. You cannot live close to Me without experiencing some degree of healing. However, it is also true that you have not… Continue reading A great devotional this morning from Jesus Calling.
Monday morning. Coffee sippin’ and looking out at a dreary Minneapolis. It’s 8:00 a.m. and my work out is complete, my breakfast is gobbled up and I’m already an hour into my work day. I’m feeling accomplished lately. My work weeks are busy, rushed and go-go-go but the joy of the weekend always hits hard.… Continue reading Coffee sippin’
Happy Thursday! Thursday is my favorite work day of the week: lunch on Nicollet, a fun walk around the farmer’s market, people watching, and loving life. And today is even better because my siblings are coming to enjoy the day with me. Is it noon yet?! J Gosh, I realized I haven’t blogged at all… Continue reading life these days
I’m soaking in these beautiful moment in the Boundary Waters. My heart is so full; full of happiness, content with God’s love and his abundant grace. He is so good. From the star filled skies, to the silent mornings, the gorgeous sunsets, and the peaceful waters…I am reminded how incredible our God is. He holds… Continue reading Boundary Waters 2014
