I’ve been a bit quiet around here. Life has been…in upheaval. Emotions are raw. Deep. Exhausting. But when I saw the prompt for Five Minute Friday from LisaJo Baker, what has been the prayer of my heart the past two months sprang forth in words. And the words have been sparse. So I thought I’d better take advantage of it. …
Last…or Lasting?

Two Places at Once

The Soundtrack Rhythms of Life
Follow my blog with Bloglovin I’ve been quiet the last few Fridays. LisaJo’s prompts for the crazy madhouse of writing that is Five Minute Friday – five minutes, one topic, no stopping, not editing – have been intriguing of late…but my heart, my energy, wasn’t in it.

Room For A View
This week the prompt for Five Minute Friday with LisaJo is VIEW: START We stood at the precipice of the canyon – pillars and wiggles of red rock as far as the eye could see. It was stunning.

After the Declaration

Treasure, Ponder, Snuggle, Repeat
