Today is Day-1 of my 48th Lent. Well, it might be my 44th …hard to believe I was giving things up in those early year, but let’s just say it’s Lent #48 for me. I love Lent. For me, it comes at a perfect… Continue Reading “Lent, Part 48”
Lent Stuff, Part 2: 40 Days to a Better Me (and You?)
Way, way, way before people did things like a 30-Day Cleanse or Fast, or did the Whole30 diet plan, or meditated for inner peace, the Catholics were already doing it and calling it things like “Lent” and “Advent” and “prayer.” I take Lent quite… Continue Reading “Lent Stuff, Part 2: 40 Days to a Better Me (and You?)”

No Regrets
I don’t know what’s more powerful. Fear? Or regret? Or fear of regret (if that’s a thing). It actually all kinda works together. For me, I regret some things I’ve done, but more and more, I’m regretting the things I haven’t done. I regret… Continue Reading “No Regrets”
So Excited
I’m not going to lie … going on the Whole30 and losing all this weight hasn’t diminished my cravings in any way, shape, or form. I curse the world and the Lord above every time my kids grab a couple of Girl Scout cookies… Continue Reading “So Excited”
