You

Touch my soul, renew me.
Provision.
Comfort.
Cling to me.
Creative energy.
Discernment.
Temperate patience.
Proactive wisdom.
Here, there.
Expand the vision.
Hone the steps.
One day at a time,
Take my hand.

age

I’m in this strange state of feeling…old. Not necessarily physically, though there are days I can tell I’m not longer a teenager ;) but rather…just in…experience and life.
I was two and a half when my mother was my age. And my sister was on the way. To think about being [...]

hah

I’m hot, then cold, then hot, then cold.
Consistently.
If I ever get married, I’m going to drive a man nuts with the way I turn the heater on, turn it off, turn it on, turn it off.
;p

music speaks when i cannot

I was born to laugh
I learned to laugh through my tears
I was born to love
I’m gonna learn to love without fear
Pour me a glass of wine
Talk deep into the night
Who knows what we’ll find
Intuition, deja vu
The Holy Ghost haunting you
Whatever you got
I don’t mind
Put your elbows on the table
I’ll listen long as I am able
There’s [...]

gift

Anna came over with a gift: an electric kettle.  ;p  I think everyone around here shall breathe a little easier now since I am tied to the stove because of an insatiable love for tea and coffee. :)

smelling like a man

I’ve been using a man’s razor for shaving for a while now…because it works better. :)  But the other week, on two separate days, I received offers for a free can of men’s shaving cream.  Not one to pass up something free that’s useful, I decided to accept.  Even though I don’t live with a [...]

whiter than snow

This Psalm has popped up twice in my life from completely different sources this past week…and each time, it’s spoken to my heart and my life.
From Psalm 51
1 Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions. 2 Wash away all my iniquity and [...]

proverb

“He who loves one woman, loves them all; he who loves many, loves none.”
(Spanish proverb)
I assume the love spoken of indicates eros…provoking proverb in the context of fidelity.  Hmm… :)

honesty

How does one be honest and authentic without freaking everyone else around them out? ;)
A friend, my father’s age, said if any of us really knew what another was thinking, including our spouses, we’d be horrified and it’s God’s grace that we don’t know…of course, I operate under the assumption that God knows everyone’s mind.
Rather…strikingly [...]

thought life

Life is hard.  It really is.
And sometimes…thinking about it too much can mess you up.

Today is a day off…need to clean my apartment before I go back to work tonight.  7 p.m. meeting…and I jump back into the work week. :)  I’ve probably put 100 hours of overtime in the last two months, if not [...]

odd woman out

I hung out with three couples night – all six super close friends, two of the women former roommates…they are all married.
I was the only lone gal in the group…and the only virgin. And sex was the topic of the night – two of the four couples are newlyweds and the other couple has [...]

questioning

In a society which focuses so much on (sex) appeal and attraction, how do you age gracefully?  Especially as a woman?  How do you filter out all the adds and messages sent, not only by “society” in general but by the entertainment industry…and even our loved ones who are also thus influenced, that we must [...]

ramblings

I’ve been working 55-60 plus hour work weeks for the past two months and am currently a bit tired. ;)  My days off when they arrive (today is one such day) look like…just…lazing around the house, re-energizing my mind, soul and body.

I love seeing God transform another person.
I love seeing Him transform me.
It amazes me [...]

stand up, please

This is to my dream girl, if you’re listening, are you out there?  Would you stand up, please? I would love to, if you would let me, be what you deserve.

For my guy friends…or something. ;p

Until then, thank you. :) They don’t go unnoticed or unappreciated.

cry me a river

Oh boy…my nerves are shot tonight…both computers (this includes my work computer) are acting up and I’m fit to be tied.  Anyway, so I decided to put on some music; it’s approaching 9:30 p.m., I’m tired and longing for bed.  Tonight was supposed to be a relaxing evening at home but it didn’t turn out [...]

butternut squash soup and vocational passion

Forgot to eat lunch but I’m remedying that…butternut squash soup – yum!
So I’ve been putting in 60 hour weeks…and inbetween those hours, recuperating, trying to sleep or just run my day-to-day life.  Missed writing.  But absolutely LOVING work…
For those relatively new, it took me a little under two years to transition out of law (I [...]

strange saturday

I miss all of you, but work is kicking my butt.  I absolutely, passionately LOVE it but right now it’s demanding my all – emotionally, physically, time-wise, and mentally.
–
On other fronts, it’s been raining nonstop for at least nine hours…it’s crazy.
–
I am blessed with amazing friends.

renewal

Reminder.
Lisa and David recently have been reminding me of stopping to enjoy the little things.
Like waking up on a Sunday morning to the sound of drizzly rain.
To fresh baked brownies waiting for my students who will come over later.
For music that just romances your soul and makes you want to dance (thanks, Nine!).
For friends. [...]

blood boiling

I get so worked up about politics that for the last eight years, I’ve really tried to ignore them…
As of this summer, I’m back in, again…but trying not to bite the hook fully.
Once a love, always a love?
There was the time I’d listen to political talk radio for 6 – 10 hours a day (when [...]

yeah

I’ve lost my voice as evidenced by the lack of posts here. Not sure when I shall snap out of it and desire to write again; perhaps by even posting this post, I will have broken the dam and the floodwaters will come again.
Too dramatic? Perhaps. But the reality is I have [...]
