So you may recall a while back I shared some paintings I had made. It all started because one of my best friends wanted a tree painting similar to the one in my own bedroom. So I decided to make her one. She was so thoroughly pleased that she told me she’d love to sell …

Happy Monday to you all! I certainly hope you got to spend this weekend with those you love and relax and have some fun! This past weekend was a wonderful one! Ryan and I celebrated our sixth wedding anniversary and Saturday. So I took the day off and we did some shopping and just spent …
He Is A Gem | Our 6th Anniversary
I was sitting here today. Thinking of a great many things. Looking through old writings for wisdom and insight, when I came across one that wasn’t mine. It was something my husband had written. Words from a time of great pain that he had shared with me months after. And I re-read them again, reliving …
I Long for Connectivity…
I long for connectivity… but I am not a surface dweller. It took another one of my late night writing sessions for me to come to this discover… I don’t know how to have a relationship that only exists on the ground floor. I’ve tried – believe me, I have. But I can never stay …
Sometimes I Forget How Weird I Am…

There’s so much that’s lost without the one-on-one contact of talking to a person. When you’re having a real conversation with someone, so much can …
Writing…
You guys seem to like these, so here you go – another one of my late night free-writing entries… It’s hard for me to talk about things sometimes. Like actually sit down and share my feelings with someone. I never know how to start. The words may be there in my mind, underneath a flurry …
A Very Happy Birthday to My Amazing Mom
Today is the birthday of an amazing woman. Growing up my mom and I didn’t always see eye-to-eye. But I’m so incredibly thankful that I can honestly say she is one of my closest friends. I think I had to grow up a little bit and realize where she was coming from to truly understand …
Pieces of Me: Tolkien Love
So yes, if you’ve been a reader of my blog for a while now – you may have started to realize I have several things I really LOVE! But this by far is my biggest! For quite a long while now, I have been a HUGE Tolkien fan. Before they had the new movies from …
