Well readers, it has been an eventful two months since my last post. The day after this post, my parents and I went to Indiana to celebrate my maternal grandma’s 90th birthday. Unfortunately, it couldn’t be the birthday everyone hoped for. My sister, knowing how much Granny loves Elvis, hired an Elvis impersonator to comeContinue reading “Announcing my Second Book”

A Day In My Life After the Restoration: Part 2
On rainy nights, I see myself staying in the cabin with my parents, falling asleep to the peaceful sound of rain through the window. But most nights, I might strike out for the woods and sleep under the stars, where Gilbert, Snickers and Aslan, or if their souls aren’t eternal like those of humans, thanContinue reading “A Day In My Life After the Restoration: Part 2”
Healing the Cat-Shaped Hole in My Heart
Well readers, I apologize that it has been so long since I last posted here, and that my last post was so negative. I haven’t totally abandoned writing during this time. In fact, I have been working on a unique meditation about the Restoration which I hope to finish soon. But first, I have toContinue reading “Healing the Cat-Shaped Hole in My Heart”
My Dog Has a Spirit, Has a Name
SPOILER ALERT: This post is about the book, A Dog’s Purpose by W. Bruce Cameron. If you would like to read this book and don’t want the ending spoiled, do not read any further. About a year ago, I noticed that iTunes had a list of movies that were audio described for the blind. IContinue reading “My Dog Has a Spirit, Has a Name”
A Vacation Full of Worry
Every week, I attend a women’s bible study at our church with my mom, and the family friend who gave us the bird clock. Right now, we are studying the book of Matthew, and in the last bible study before Thanksgiving, we studied Chapter 6 which includes countless truths about life, but the speaker forContinue reading “A Vacation Full of Worry”
Please Take Off My Leash
I have needed to write a post like this for years, but have been hesitant to do so. Part of this hesitation has been due to the fact that I lacked the words to explain my feelings, and then I was afraid I lacked the maturity to express my feelings in a calm, intelligent andContinue reading “Please Take Off My Leash”
The Bird Clock No Longer Sings
“Did Mom tell you about the demise of your old friend?” Dad asked yesterday over dinner when I got home from work. Mom and I both looked at him confused. “The bird clock!” he said. Mom sighed, and I laughed. Maybe he was being a bit over-dramatic, as of course, hearing about the demise ofContinue reading “The Bird Clock No Longer Sings”
A Wonderful, Busy and Strange Holiday Season
Although my new lifestyle has been a significant life event for me, there were other moments that made this holiday season special that I wanted to update you on. Since stores start running Christmas commercials on Halloween, I might as well start with Halloween too. In 2014, my first attempt to live a healthy lifestyle,Continue reading “A Wonderful, Busy and Strange Holiday Season”
When it Comes to my Health, I Cannot Serve Two Masters
Given how I mentioned in my last post that I have felt a spiritual calling to live a healthier lifestyle, I think it is only appropriate to quote a bible verse I have been thinking about a lot lately from Matthew 6:24 “No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one andContinue reading “When it Comes to my Health, I Cannot Serve Two Masters”
Food is for Sustenance, Not for Pleasure
One Sunday in Catholic Christian Formation class—I think it was in eighth grade—we were discussing something, and the teacher cited 1 Corinthians 6 19-20: Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you wereContinue reading “Food is for Sustenance, Not for Pleasure”
