My apologies for not having my usual Monday morning post up for you, dear readers, but we lost power yesterday morning and have yet to get it back. We are operating the generator as needed, and so I am able to grab some internet while it runs. I wrote most of this post yesterday, […]
Letting go and hanging on
August 10, 2011 By 11 Comments
While journaling the past couple of mornings, the topic of fear kept popping up, and I realized I have written quite a bit about that topic, both lately and over the past couple of years. It’s not that I see myself as that quivering mass of jello in the back of the fridge, praying […]

Joining Lisa-Jo for her Five minute Friday prompt of “Still”. Today she writes: So on Fridays, we take the dare to become Word Artists.

I’ve written lately about being dissatisfied with how I was leading my life, about feeling like the wheels on my bus were going ka-thunk, ka-thunk, ka-thunk, thinking about unopened gifts that might be in the closet, and recognizing that each of us wants to live a life that matters.

Telling Miss Jealousy goodbye
May 18, 2011 By 4 Comments
Rainy Day © K. Hall Jealousy. Such an ugly, unnecessary, counterproductive emotion that pushes us to behave in such foolish and hurtful ways. I always imagine that She (yes, I see jealousy as a “she”) is standing behind me, poking me in the back, egging me on to do and say stupid things, while whispering […]
