In December 2021, I went on an epic roadtrip with two beloved friends, Andrew & Mikalya. It was a spiritual journey (of sorts) that included 17 labyrinth walks over eight days (December 3-11). My first labyrinth walk was on December 3rd, around 10:30 a.m. at the Unitarian Universalist Church Oak Cliff. Their labyrinth is in…

bibliophile A lover of books… that’s me! I love to curl up with a good book, turning pages until the wee hours of the morning. I’m proud to say that both my kids are also avid readers. At one point, each of my kids had their own four foot wide, six foot tall bookcase in their…
I’m a MCU (Phase 1-3) fan. Not a crazy, obsessive, ‘read every Stan Lee Marvel comic’ kind of fan, but definitely a ‘watch every MCU (Phase 1-3) movie at least three times’ fan. I love knowing that by the end of the movie, good guys always win and bad guys lose. (Consequently, Avengers: Infinity War and…

The last neighborhood labyrinth walk of the season usually fills me with sadness because I don’t know when or where I will get to walk another labyrinth. Fortunately, I knew I would be traveling to Texas in early December. Almost immediately after I had booked my plane ticket, I started compiling a list of labyrinths…

However, we can also learn from others- by watching their mistakes or paying close attention to the habits and behaviors that led to their success. Photo by Alex Shute on…
Free health, exercise and encouragement… no strings attached.
I suspect that I’m not the only adult who has ever wanted to escape their current circumstances. In times of struggle, I’ve always found it best to choose to be around people who nurture your heart and spirit in a healthy way. Desperately craving such nurturing, I took a quick trip in October, stopping in…
Romans 8:26 (NIV) 26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. There are days when life just seems… too hard. Unrelenting, unwavering, inflexible. HARD. And when things get hard, it’s difficult to…
